A 'fully ticketed' game does not allow general admission access.

Attending a fully ticketed game

To attend a fully ticketed game, you must either hold a reserved seat membership or have obtained a reserved seat ticket.

🟡  Hold a reserved seat membership

🟡  Use your general admission membership to purchase a reserved seat ticket at a member-only rate using your member barcode.

🟡  Purchase a reserved seat ticket as a non-member

Games are classed as fully ticketed at the discretion of the home team, stadium, and AFL. This decision is based primarily on ticket sales and member attendance forecasts, and is made to ensure patron safety when large crowds are expected.

Note: General admission access is always subject to capacity. Hawthorn recommends general admission members guarantee game entry by purchasing a reserved seat ticket to blockbuster matches.
