AFL chiefs have revealed a series of ticket promotions as they seek to attract a bumper crowd to the Adelaide Oval for this weekend\u2019s 2022 NAB AFL Women\u2019s Grand Final.<\/p>\n
Tickets for the biggest event in Australian women\u2019s team sports, which will be played between Adelaide Crows and Melbourne this Saturday (April 9), are capped at $10, with free entry for under-18s. Free entry to the 53,500-capacity arena is also being provided to competing AFLW Club Members and community football participants.<\/p>\n
Men\u2019s AFL matches have been moved to avoid clashing with the women\u2019s final, with the AFL saying this would \u201censure clean air and no crossover of matches for the biggest game of the women\u2019s season\u201d.<\/p>\n
Tickets became available via Ticketek earlier today (April 4) with eligible competing club AFLW members able to redeem their free tickets via a pre-sale, before general public tickets went on sale.<\/p>\n
Gillon McLachlan, the AFL chief executive, said: \u201cAfter a competitive Premiership Season and great Finals Series, the 2022 NAB AFL Women\u2019s Competition has been the best season to date and we look forward to the biggest game of the season being played at Adelaide Oval.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are calling on the whole Australian Football community in South Australia to come and see our two best performing teams compete for the Premiership, in what will be a fantastic contest.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe thank all the fans who have turned out to support AFLW this season.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nicole Livingstone, AFL general manager of women\u2019s football, said: \u201cWith tickets to the NAB AFLW Grand Final on sale from Monday afternoon, we encourage all football fans to head to Adelaide Oval to watch an exciting contest between the Adelaide Crows and Melbourne.\u201d<\/p>\n
The AFLW, which began in 2017, welcomed its one millionth spectator earlier this season.<\/p>\n
The competition is reckoned to be the most popular women\u2019s sports event in Australia, with an average gate of around 6,500 in 2019. However, the seven games in the first round of this season\u2019s competition attracted 20,151 at an average of less than 3,000.<\/p>\n
A crowd of 6,436 watched Melbourne beat Brisbane in the first-ever AFLW match to be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground over the weekend.<\/p>\n
