AFL Special Rounds
Click here to register interest for the 2026 Toyota AFL Premiership Season.
Footy is an important part of Australian culture. As a nationally recognised body, the AFL uses its stature in the community to highlight special causes throughout the regular season. These rounds often bring added colour, depth and meaning to what is already a fiercely fought game of sport. Be it the traditional ANZAC clash or one of the other special rounds such as the ‘Dreamtime at the G’, make sure you see your club stare down their traditional rivals from the best seats in the house.
Usually, you’d need an annual Medallion Club membership to enjoy seats like ours, but at The Golden Ticket, you can buy tickets for each game individually. Make sure you get in touch early and book your seats today as these rounds are always highly sought after!
