Seating Information
The Members' Reserve will operate with a combination of unreserved and reserved seating for the AFL Finals Series. Members with access entitlements can choose between purchasing reserved seats via Ticketek, or accessing unreserved seating at the match.
Reminder: different access arrangements apply for the Grand Final (view AFL Grand Final Arrangements).
Alcohol-free sections have been allocated both in the reserved and unreserved seating areas within the Members’ Reserve.
The alcohol-free seating areas are:
- Level 1: M45 (unreserved) and M46 (reserved)
- Level 2: N48 (unreserved) and N41 (reserved)
- Level 4: Q43-45 rows A-F (reserved)
Note: Any unallocated reserved seating in the alcohol-free sections will be made available for alcohol-free unreserved seating access.
Members will be able to pre-purchase reserved seats in Member-Only areas via Ticketek when tickets go on sale.
These areas will be located in specific sections on Levels 1 and 4 of the Reserve, and will be determined on a match-by-match basis.
If you have pre-purchased a reserved seat or visitor ticket and can no longer attend the match, you can return your ticket via the Ticketek App.
Ticket returns close one hour prior to Gate 2 opening for each match.
Reserved seating for patrons requiring accessible seating, including wheelchair spaces, and their carers (with a government-issued Companion Card) is available to redeem online via Ticketek, by calling 1300 136 961 or in-person at the Club.
In the event general ticketing in the Members' Reserve is exhausted for a Finals match, any remaining accessible seating will be taken offline to prevent misuse of accessible seating. Remaining accessible seating will be available to redeem via the Ticketek Accessible Ticketing form on a first-in, first-served basis, subject to availability.
Accessible seating is available on Levels 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Members' Reserve. We encourage members to pre-book these spaces during the 2026 AFL Finals Series. However, unreserved spaces will also be available on match day on a first-come, first-served basis.
Companions attending on a government issued companion card (of either a member or a visitor) receive free entry to the Reserve when a companion ticket has been redeemed via Ticketek – for more details visit companioncard.vic.gov.au.
Further details on accessible tickets can be found at Ticketek's Accessible Ticketing Hub.
