Footy fans will have another chance to secure their seat to an AFL Gather Round match as a limited number of tickets to all nine sold-out matches will go on sale today at 1pm ACDT.
The numbers of tickets available to each of the matches across the massive four-day ‘festival of footy’ varies and fans are encouraged to get in quickly as they will be snapped up fast.
In good news for fans wanting to take in a match in the Adelaide Hills, additional temp seating has been added to increase capacity for the two matches scheduled at Mount Barker on Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
Other highlights of this year’s Gather Round from Thursday 4 April to Sunday 7 April include a Saturday double-header at Adelaide Oval and two matches at Norwood Oval.
As well as limited tickets at all nine games, there are tickets still available to the Pepsi Collective across all matches.
Held at Adelaide Oval from the Thursday through to Sunday, the Pepsi Collective will be the most sought-after ticket for social seekers over the age of 18 to experience the game like never before.
A host of premium food, beverage and entertainment will be available for eventgoers to enjoy with friends, all whilst witnessing the action on the field from one of Adelaide Oval’s best locations.
Set in Adelaide Oval’s Magarey Room, Pepsi Collective ticket holders will have access to lounges and bars overlooking Adelaide’s city skyline, plus a birds-eye view of the on-field action from the seating bays on Level 3, along with a purpose-built outdoor viewing deck thanks to Pepsi.
Visitors to this year’s Gather Round will be able to see and feel every moment of the festival with or without a match ticket at various events, including player appearances, team activations and open training sessions.
Festivities outside of the nine matches such as the four-day family-friendly Footy Festival in Elder Park and the Norwood Food and Wine Festival on the Sunday will entice fans to linger longer and provide an important economic boost to local communities.
The inaugural AFL Gather Round in 2023 contributed more than $83 million to the South Australian economy and saw 268,000 fans attend matches including more than 40,000 people from interstate.

Minister for Tourism, Zoe Bettison said the scale, crowds, atmosphere, and demand of AFL Gather Round in 2023 were enormous and it will once again provide a massive benefit to South Australia’s visitor economy this April.
“With South Australia’s reputation to deliver world-class events, I am certain there will be no hesitation from fans to get the limited release of tickets going on sale today,” Minister Bettison said.
“Gather Round has already become a major stand-out in our state’s events calendar, and we are glad the AFL are able to release some extra match tickets to ensure all nine games are a complete sell-out and bring the biggest crowds to each venue and region.
“I encourage anyone who might miss out on tickets to the matches to get out and enjoy the stacked line-up of Gather Round events throughout our city, world-class wine regions, stunning tourism destinations and more.”
