The AFL is implementing a price freeze on all entry level tickets for the third edition of Gather Round.
For the 2025 festival of footy all entry level tickets for matches at Adelaide Oval, Barossa Park and Norwood Oval will be frozen at a $35 price point for adults, $20 for concession and $10 for juniors across all venues.
It comes ahead of 2025 AFL and club members again having a 24-hour member priority window to redeem a free general admission or category three ticket to watch their club.
The members on sale will begin at 10am ACDT Tuesday, December 10 via Ticketek, ahead of tickets going on sale to general public on Wednesday, December 11 at the same time.
In a further win for fans, four-match and three-match multi match passes at Adelaide Oval will again be available for purchase, as well as family tickets allowing kids to go free across all price categories.
Again there will be a tiered pricing model at Adelaide Oval to allow fans more options to purchase upgraded seats, with tickets for the best seats in the stadium to be capped at $65.
AFL CEO Andrew Dillon said seats at Gather Round were fast becoming the hottest ticket in town.
“Gather Round is a celebration of footy like no other, and its popularity is growing every year,” he said.
“It is important to continue to keep our game affordable and accessible for all and the price freeze hopefully helps afford everyone an opportunity to experience Gather Round first-hand.”
South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas said this would further enhance the state as a destination to visit while Gather Round was on.
“Tickets to the 2024 Gather Round were snapped up incredibly quickly, and we expect that demand will be repeated,” he said.
“It’s particularly pleasing that entry level prices have been frozen. Coupled with the many free activities available, Gather Round remains an accessible and family-friendly form of entertainment to open the Easter School holidays.
“We look forward to welcoming the many visitors that will flood into South Australia for Gather Round in 2025, in the knowledge that many will be expanding their itinerary to include the Barossa and beyond.”
All matches in next year’s Gather Round will be stand-alone events.
Tickets to the ‘The Collective’ match day event will also return in 2025, offering a premium viewing experience including music acts and private room and bar access with prices starting at $99.
Gather Round sits over and above normal club membership arrangements, which means members must redeem or upgrade to a ticket via Ticketek.
To access the member priority on-sale, 2025 AFL and club access members will be issued a single-use Gather Round barcode directly by their club prior to on-sale.
