The AFL wishes to correct a story published by The Age online today after the media outlet elected to publish online without waiting on a response from the AFL.

The story incorrectly asserted that veteran soldiers would be denied free tickets to this year’s MCG Anzac Day match. This is completely wrong.

As has been the case previously, the AFL’s longstanding arrangement of providing an allocation of Anzac Day tickets to disabled soldiers, free of charge, is again in place for the 2014 season.

The AFL’s ticket allocation for disabled soldiers via the TPI Association includes the 2014 MCG Anzac Day match, all other A Reserve 2014 MCG matches and as per previous seasons, a ticket allocation for the Toyota AFL Finals Series.
