2026 Finals Access Information
To enter the Members' Reserve for the Finals series in September 2026, Overseas members are required to:
- Complete the Overseas Final Access application form (applications open 9:00am AEST Wednesday August 5, 2026).
- Attach a copy of your itinerary showing arrival to and departure from Australia in the application form.
- Pay an admission fee and have your barcode unlocked. This separate admission fee is in addition to the 2026/27 season subscription.
Once applications are open, you will be able to choose either match-by-match access (announced and released week by week as the Finals progress) or a package option covering the whole duration of the finals across September.
Package eligibility is subject to arrangements based on membership category:
- 50-Year and Full members can access all Finals matches including the Grand Final
- Restricted members can access all Finals matches excluding the Grand Final
- Provisional members do not have any Finals access.
If you wish to access the Wildcard Finals in August, you will also need to complete the application form and attach a copy of your itinerary. There is no fee for Wildcard Finals access, provided your 2025/26 season fees are paid in full.
Grand Final Access
