The AFL has announced that, for the seventh consecutive season, it will maintain a price freeze on general admission tickets for all matches at the MCG and Marvel Stadium across the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season

General admission tickets will remain at $27 for adults, $18 for concession and $5 for juniors aged 14 and under, while children aged four and under continue to be free.

A general admission ‘family ticket' consisting of two adults and two children will also be frozen at $54 for all home and away season games at both the MCG and Marvel Stadium.

The milestone marks the seventh consecutive year the AFL has frozen general admission ticket prices at the MCG and Marvel Stadium, strengthening its commitment to making the game more accessible for fans.

2025 AFL and Club members will once again have a 24-hour member priority window to snap up tickets for MCG (Ticketek) and Marvel Stadium (Ticketmaster) matches which go on sale on Tuesday 18th February, with the General Public able to purchase tickets from Wednesday 19th February.

In 2024, more than 7.7 million fans attended a home and away match during the Toyota AFL Premiership Season making it the highest attended season on record.

All 18 AFL Clubs set the ticket prices for their home matches, and the AFL appreciates the tenant clubs of the MCG and Marvel Stadium for once again helping to deliver this price freeze for fans along with the commitment from all clubs across the competition to continue to keep matches as affordable and accessible as possible.

The 2025 general admission price freeze follows the AFL's continued commitment to affordability in a year which saw entry level Finals tickets frozen, free access to Gather Round tickets for all members, Kids Go Free national campaign across the school holiday period in July and Round 24 in Victoria, a price freeze on food purchases at Marvel Stadium, and under 18s continuing to be free at all AFLW matches.

AFL Chief Executive, Andrew Dillon advised “the AFL is proud to continue to freeze prices for general admission and family tickets for the seventh consecutive year.

"On any given weekend there could be four to five matches in Victoria, and we understand the cost-of-living pressures across every household and every business, which is why we are committed to ensuring as many people as possible can enjoy the excitement of our game firsthand.

"We have the best fans in the world, and with record breaking attendance figures last year and a great take up of tickets for next week's Indigenous All-Stars match in Perth, and next month's Opening Round and Gather Round matches, we're excited to see the return of full stadiums again in 2025."

In 2025, the two venues will host 89 home and away matches spread (47 matches at the MCG, 42 matches Marvel Stadium).
