How to register for the 2026 Toyota AFL Grand Final

To register for a Grand Final ticket you will need your membership barcode number and any barcode number of members you wish to attend with. Members who wish to attend together must register in a group providing all membership barcode numbers in one transaction, using one credit card.  A limit of eight (8) barcodes per transaction applies. Each member barcode will be charged a $4.00 non-refundable fee at time of registration to cover administration costs. 

Members will be required to register for Grand Final tickets via the internet (by logging onto ticketek.com.au). Please ensure you have a My Ticketek Account before registering.  If you don’t already have an account, we recommend logging onto ticketek.com.au and selecting ‘My Ticketek’ to create an account at least 24 hours prior to registration. 

Registration Guide & Information

• 2026 Sydney Swans Member Grand Final Registration Guide
• 2026 Sydney Swans Member Grand Final Registration Guide - Accessible Seating

The Sydney Swans will email you with a link to the home page of Ticketek and confirm your member priority group and registration time. 
 
Visit Ticketek and log into your My Ticketek account. As the credit card holder, you will need to ensure that you are a My Ticketek member to continue with the registration process. 
 
1. Click on the Sydney Swans 2026 Toyota AFL Grand Final Registration tile on the Ticketek homepage. 
 
2. Select your Priority Group from the drop-down menu on the right-hand side of the page 
 
3. Enter your member barcode(s) in the box provided (remove any letters and commas and make sure to enter each barcode on a new line). Click ‘Apply Now’. Each barcode registered will be charged a non-refundable $4.00 fee at the end of the registration process. 
 
4. The next page will prompt you to select your ticket preference. You will have the choice of the following two options: 
- I will accept the next best available ticket – including Standing Room 
- I will accept the next best available reserved seat – no Standing Room 
 
We strongly recommend all members select the first option – ‘I will accept the best available ticket – including Standing Room’ at the time of registration. You will reduce your chance of being successful in obtaining a Grand Final ticket if you elect not to receive a Standing Room ticket at time of registration. 
 
5. To register each member for a Grand Final ticket select ‘1’ from the drop down list next to each ballot price type. Repeat this for each barcode. Select the listed delivery method and then proceed to the payment screen. 
 
6. The next page will confirm your registration. Please read these details carefully and review all information before proceeding.  Read the terms and conditions and check the box stating that you agree.  Submit payment. 
 
7. Once the registration is complete and your credit card has been authorised, you will be transferred to the confirmation page and sent an email confirming your registration with your Ticketek Customer ID. Keep this and the membership barcodes supplied as reference of your registration. 
 
Please note: Should you encounter any issues with your barcodes when you are trying to register, please do not panic, we recommend you contact the Sydney Swans Membership team on 02 9157 5020 immediately to rectify the issue.

Registration Options

The following ticket options will be provided for members to select when registering: 

 - I will accept the next best available ticket – including Standing Room 

Members can receive any reserved seat, restricted view reserved seat or standing room ticket.  These will be allocated on the next best available basis. 

 - I will accept the next best available reserved seat – no Standing Room 

Members can receive any reserved seat or restricted view reserved seat only.  Members will not be allocated a Standing Room ticket. 

Tickets will be allocated via ballot on a next best available basis, and therefore members can receive any reserved seat, restricted view reserved seat or standing room ticket.  If you select option 2 and all reserved seat tickets have been allocated when your registration is next to be processed, you will not be issued a Grand Final Ticket.  

Accessible ticket bookings & Companion cards

Members who require an accessible seat, hold a companion card or wish to book in a group with other members who have an accessible seat requirement, will need to be issued with a new Grand Final Accessible Registration barcode.
