The staggering cost of going to the AFL grand final revealed: Here's what $6295 will get you at the MCG - and fans are NOT happy
Details surrounding the best ticket in town for the AFL grand final have been revealed, with footy fans having to fork out more than $6000 to snap one up. Widely regarded as one of the landmark dates on Australia's sporting calendar, the AFL grand final will be played on Saturday, September 27 in front of a capacity crowd at the MCG. The AFL will cater for those in search of VIP treatment on the big day, with details of hospitality at the 'Inner Sanctum' posted online. The package, titled 'The Ultimate' and priced at an eye-watering $6295 per person, combines premium dining with what is described as 'exclusive matchday experiences'. Ticket holders for 'The Ultimate Suite' are treated to VIP pre-game hospitality with a premiership hero telling stories of their own grand final day. Guests are treated to an exclusive experience at the MCG, receiving privileged access to an 'unforgettable on-field experience' before watching the big match from a private suite. Guests will then enjoy the post-grand final celebrations with VIP hospitality services within the Toyota LandCruiser Grand Final Village in Yarra Park. Other packages, titled 'The Ultimate - Miller Room' and 'The Ultimate - Nobu' offer similar features, with the former priced at a whopping $6,995. Footy fans have already voiced their anger about the price of packages at the MCG. 'The @aflkeep saying "we are all about the fans". $2500 for the cheapest available GF package. Great for "fans" that,' posted one X user. 'The GF had never been about the fans. Only corporates,' replied another. 'The fact there's a 7k ticket for grand final day says everything, what a disgrace,' replied a third. Other supporters were not fussed about the prices, with one fan posting: 'Well these are ** packages** key word is packages that includes food, beverage and corporate seating… of course it's gonna be a couple grand.' For those footy fans who don't want to spend as much, there's an 'In-Ground Dining' package priced at $4,450 that offers 'the very best' Level 2 reserved seating, gourmet three-course meals and gourmet half-time footy fare. Cheaper packages for $2995 and $2495 per person are also available. Grand Final Plus Passes, which include access to a match of choice in week three of the finals and a reserved seat for the decider, have been sold out on the AFL's website. These tickets are priced at $1795. As the season heats up, Collingwood, Geelong and Brisbane are among the favourites tipped by bookmakers to claim the premiership flag - but there's still plenty of time for that to change. The Adelaide Crows - who currently sit third on the ladder - and Western Bulldogs are also regarded as chances of grand final glory with bookmakers.
