This depends on the competing clubs and venue. 

Adelaide Oval – Adelaide v Carlton or Port Adelaide v St Kilda 

Members of different teams will not be able to redeem tickets to sit together.  Given the expected demand from Adelaide and Port Adelaide members, separate member allocations will be applied to ensure there’s equitable access for all members.   Club members will be directed to choose tickets from the allocation applied for their club of support. 

Adelaide Oval – games not featuring Adelaide or Port Adelaide 

Members of different teams will be able to redeem tickets to sit together.  Separate member allocations will be applied to ensure there’s equitable access for all members, however if you enter a different Gather Round member barcode for the competing teams in the same transaction, you’ll be able to choose which club allocation you’d like to book into. 

Adelaide Oval – multi match passes 

As long as members are eligible to book the same multi-day passes, members will be able to book tickets and attend together. 

Norwood Oval and Barossa Park 

Yes, given tickets are general admission at these venues and access on a first come basis, members of both competing teams will be able to book tickets and attend together. 

Yes, the Gather Round barcode is valid both in the member priority windows and in the general public on-sale, with tickets subject to availability.  Please note, due to expected demand, we encourage members to purchase tickets as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

No, access to Gather Round in Adelaide is an additional benefit outside of individual 2026 AFL and club membership packages. Redemption of a ticket for Gather Round does not impact existing membership inclusions for AFL and club access members.  

No, this won’t be possible. As Gather Round does not form part of club members’ standard home entitlements, they subsequently do not have access to their reserved seat. 

Adelaide Oval:

At the time tickets go on-sale, we are expecting tickets to be selling fast and therefore you won’t have the opportunity to select specific bays or seats. 

You will be able to select from ‘best available’ or your preferred price category. 

Norwood Oval:

Tickets are general admission, therefore you can just select ‘best available’ and find a viewing location when you arrive at the match. General admission tickets will give access to the unreserved Southern Grandstand, available on a first come, first served basis. 

Barossa Park:

You’ll be able to select either general admission or the unreserved grandstand.   

Accessible tickets will be available via Ticketek during the applicable on-sale period. Accessible tickets will be charged the applicable price of the bay it is positioned in. In some circumstances the AFL and the Venue may adjust some of these to ensure there are accessible tickets available in every price category. Further information is available here.
