The AFL and Western Bulldogs reminds all members and fans to continue to follow the advice of their respective state government and not to attend matches if feeling unwell.

The AFL and Western Bulldogs strongly encourages fans to only purchase tickets through Ticketmaster.

Four things to remember before purchasing your finals tickets

1. Members will require their HOME member barcode to access the priority on-sale. This barcode can be found on your membership card, or via your MyBulldogs account here (http://westernbulldogs.com.au/memberbarcodes). You will need enter this barcode when prompted to access the club member priority on-sale. Eligible members will also receive an email from the club on the afternoon of Sunday 12 September with your barcode.

2. Members can purchaseone(1) ticket per membership to the Toyota AFL Grand Final. A maximum of eight (8) tickets can be purchased in one transaction. If purchasing tickets to sit with other members you must do so in the one transaction.

3. As part of an enhanced effort to support contract tracing,a name and mobile number must be supplied for every ticket that is purchased.

4. Tickets will be available via Ticketmaster (https://www.ticketmaster.com.au/event/13005B130133C202?f_mode=highdemand&did=member). If you don’t already have a Ticketmaster (https://www.ticketmaster.com.au/event/13005B130133C202?f_mode=highdemand&did=member) account, we recommend you set one up ahead of the on-sale. If you do have a Ticketmaster (https://www.ticketmaster.com.au/event/13005B130133C202?f_mode=highdemand&did=member) account, be sure to login and check that all your details are correct. It’s better to reset your password now than have trouble logging in during the on-sale.

Western Bulldogs Member Access To 2021 Toyota AFL Finals Tickets & Member Barcode Use

Based on Western Australian state border restrictions as of 24 hours prior to the first Grand Final on-sale, only Western Bulldogs members who reside in Western Australia OR reside in states with open borders to WA should be eligible to purchase tickets for the 2021 Toyota AFL Grand Final. Currently Northern Territory, South Australia and Tasmania have open borders to Western Australia (Updated: 11 September 2021).

Due to current border closures and the on-going COVID-19 situation within New South Wales and Victoria in particular,the Club understand and acknowledge that the majority of our membership base will be unable to access the game.

However, access member barcodes will be active for the member on-sale on Tuesday. Sharing your member barcode is at the discretion of the individual member such that friends, family or colleagues in Western Australia (or states with open borders to Western Australia) can utilise it in the on-sale allowing more people Made of Red, White & Blue to attend.

If you have recently changed address or reside in a location that allows you to attend the match, please note that your membership barcode will also enable you to access the club member priority on-sale.

Priority On-Sale Windows and Purchasing Tickets

There are two/three priority on-sale windows for Western Bulldogs members on Tuesday 14 September.


The Priority 1 window is for all eligible access members in Western Australia, members in states with open borders to Western Australia, and Charles Sutton Premiership Circle members.
The Priority 2 on-sale window is for EJ Whitten Social Club members.
The Priority 3 on-sale window is for all other Western Bulldogs access members.


Members can purchase one (1) ticket with each membership, up to a transaction limit of eight (8) tickets. You will need a membership barcode for each ticket you intend to purchase.

Please note that memberships will only be activated to purchase tickets in their respective and subsequent priority windows. Only memberships that fit the Priority 1 criteria detailed above, can purchase tickets in the Priority 1 window.

Priority 1 members will be given an exclusive two-hour window to purchase their ticket to guarantee access. Any Priority 1 member who does not purchase in the designated time frame (9am-11am AWST) or elects to purchase with a Priority 2 or Priority 3 member will have waived their right to a guaranteed ticket.

On Monday I attended with my Dad and my 2 young kids. Obviously the kids don't have phones so the attendant just scanned all 4 of the tickets from my phone and we all walked in. If you want to sit together one person will need to book all the tickets anyway.

I would say so. Collingwood members have 3 priority periods on Tuesday to get their share of tickets which may be fully exhausted before us dogs members get to fight over around 4,000 tickets on Wednesday. Doesn't matter how long it's been since you have been to the footy, this is new territory for everyone. Some may consider sitting apart from their opposition supporting partner a blessing!;)

21. The limit is 6.

Just thrown too many barriers in the way to make it worthwhile even trying to organise. We had reserved seats for a long time, but eventually moved to GA to accomodate all the new friends and family that joined in.

Glad we can go, but the way the inconvenience has been passed down the line to the consumer is a bit shit.

Was able to secure tickets at rear of cheer squad this arvo.

Got sms reminder at just 3:54pm. Was not able to purchase them until hour or so later due to work commitments. Depending on your these "ticket windows" seem rather unfair.

Anyhow - hubby & me going so YAY. Let's hope it's a win for us. GO DOGS !!!

So how do the cheer squad tickets work and are the guaranteed seats before all others? If so, why don’t we all join the cheer squad?!

Not guaranteed but yeah a window before some other members. Good point. Wonder what the big clubs do if too many to fit into allocated cheer squad seats? View not as good as elsewhere but the excitement of yelling with the cheer squad & great atmosphere if we winning makes up for it plus you can always watch replay for bits you miss. It is a dry area which some do not enjoy!!
And of course you agree to code of conduct.

I got them ok but couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get them for free. Didn't want to muck around too much so ended up taking 2 tickets on level 4 for $8 each plus booking fee.

It had been published that there were about 4,000 tickets available for Bulldogs members.

As long as you have the confirmation you'll be able to get it sent to you, might just involve contacting Ticketek if mobile info is incorrect.

Edit : If you check your email confirmation there's a link on that page about half way down under "Important Ticket Delivery Information" that takes you to your ticket. It has the QR entry code on it.

As long as you have the QR code on your phone you'll be fine. We've been going to A League games and the scanners are pretty good at picking them up. Just make sure you have your brightness up.
A few mates and I go to a league and we generally just screen shot the tickets and share them before the game so you have a local copy, never had an issue.

Rang the Club and they said that the Pies/AFL allocated a pitiful amount to the 18-Game Members.

I did not have a chance to get on at 10am yesterday. (Was in meetings until 3pm non-stop)! Pretty poor that you do not get given a reasonable time-period to get your ticket that you have already paid for! I have the Bar-Code and there are tickets available still yet i cannot access my ticket!

The Pies/AFL, after the year the fans endured in 2020, delivering pitiful allocations are an abomination!

Apparently not:


Members wishing to sit together must have the same tier of membership product. Gold Members can only book with Gold Members to access Level 2 seating; Silver Members can only book with Silver Members to access Level 1 seating; Bronze, Interstate, Country and Ballarat members can only book with one another to access Level 3 seating.

Gold entitles you to level 2, and will cost $10, but bronze on level two will be a premium upgrade of $49.

Pretty sure you can all sit together on level 3, but you may have to log in when Bronze members tickets are available, ie Priority 3

Bar codes were correct but it wouldn't accept my mother's. She is unwell, and another family member was going to use hers. Either the number she sent me was incorrect, or it won't mix gold and silver. I've had to give up.

Ticketing Tips | Away member access for Round 3 (https://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/893079/ticketing-tips-away-member-access-for-round-3)

Western Bulldogs away members will be eligible to redeem a $0 ticket to the Club’s Good Friday (4:20pm, 2 April) clash against North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium.

The Bulldogs will return to Good Friday football for the first time since 2017, participating in the Kick for the Kids clash raising funds for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.

Below is the essential information you’ll need to redeem your ticket as part of Wednesday (31 March) morning’s away member priority on-sale window (10am-12pm), via Ticketmaster.

(https://www.ticketmaster.com.au/event/25005A77A414275B?f_mode=Highdemand&did=member)
1. Your away member barcode

You will require your AWAY member barcode to redeem your $0 ticket for Friday’s twilight clash match. This is different to your home membership card barcode which you would have used to redeem tickets for our Round 2 home match against the Eagles.
An email will be sent to all away access members on Monday (29 March) afternoon containing this. If you did not receive this by Tuesday morning, please email membership@westernbulldogs.com.au with your correct email address using the subject line ‘Please update my email’.
Members can check their individual barcodes themselves too via their MyBulldogs account?here (http://westernbulldogs.com.au/memberbarcodes).

2. Away club member on-sale window

Western Bulldogs members with away access can redeem their $0 ticket in the Level 3 General Reserve (Beyond Premium) between 10am and 12pm on Wednesday 31 March via?Ticketmaster.

REDEEM TICKET | Bookmark this link to the Ticketmaster purchase page for the match.
(https://www.ticketmaster.com.au/event/25005A77A414275B?f_mode=Highdemand&did=member)
After this time, any remaining tickets will be opened to the general public for purchase from 1pm, Wednesday 31 March. Subject to availability, away access members yet to redeem a ticket will have a secondary opportunity to access tickets at this time too. Members wishing to upgrade to seats across Level 1 and Level 2 will be able to do so by paying the relevant upgrade fees. This opportunity will only be available in the general public on sale.

3. Selecting your seat

Upon entering the Ticketmaster website via the link above, there are two ways to select a seat.


To redeem a $0 ticket members must select section Level 3 Beyond Premium and choose a seat(s), subject to capacity.
Select 'Best Available' - you will be allocated the best available seat(s) on Level 3 Beyond Premium subject to capacity.


4. Tickets will be on-sale via Ticketmaster

Tickets for this away match at Marvel Stadium are available via Ticketmaster (https://www.ticketmaster.com.au/western-bulldogs-tickets/artist/1055618?utm_campaign=tickets&utm_medium=navmenu&utm_source=WBcomau&f_useNewSearch=true&f_showBarcodeNumberInTicketStub=true). If you don’t already have a Ticketmaster account, we recommend you set one up now. If you do have Ticketmaster account from accessing tickets to previous Marvel Stadium matches, be sure to login and check that all your details are correct. It’s better to reset your password now than have trouble logging in on the day.
5. Booking tickets to sit with family and friends
You will be able to book up to six (6) tickets in one transaction. If you plan to book tickets for multiple family members in the one transaction, or to secure seats with friends, you will need to submit each individual away member barcode as part of the booking process. There will be no guest passes available, you will need away member barcode for every ticket you look to redeem.
Members can check their individual barcodes via their MyBulldogs account here (http://westernbulldogs.com.au/memberbarcodes).

6. Digital ticketing only, member cards won’t get you access

Unlike previous seasons, AFL matches in 2021 will be fully ticketed and fully digital. To access Marvel Stadium you will need to use the digital ticket issued to you by Ticketmaster. Members will not be able to scan-in to games using their membership card due to contact tracing and social distancing restrictions. Ensure you save your tickets on your phone so you’re ready for match day.

7. Accessible ticketing

Patrons requiring accessible seating will have the option to call Ticketmaster’s Marvel Stadium hotline 1300 883 622 or complete the form?on Ticketmaster’s website (https://help.ticketmaster.com.au/hc/en-au/articles/360006283094-How-do-I-purchase-Accessible-Seating-Tickets-).

The Ticketmaster Accessible Bookings team are available 9am – 5pm (AEST) seven days a week and forms should be completed as early as possible and at least 24 hours prior to the event.

Have you got any further questions?

If you have any further questions regarding away match access for Round 3, or using your 2021 match, please email membership@westernbulldogs.com.au.

This should answer your query: Looks like we were given free upgrades

Why is my 'Away games upgrade' not visible on my membership card?


For 2021 all members who received a FREE upgrade to away games will not see this referenced on their membership cards.
The FREE access members receive will be in the form of tickets that will need to be redeemed at no charge via the relevant ticketing agent.

As capacities for AFL venues are still being confirmed ahead of the 2021 Toyota AFL Premiership season the details for when these tickets go on-sale are yet to be finalised.

Please be assured that your away game access is part of your 2021 membership on details on how to redeem your FREE tickets will be confirmed once the relevant information becomes available.

Seems that way. I thought the free upgrade was just for round 1, or perhaps another game if you didn't take it up for round 1. I guess we will see if it continues throughout the season. I'm not complaining though.

View from Western Stand very good. Best viewing ground I've been to.

Despite fact I normally have allocated seat (as Ballarat Member) a little back from front rows in Western Stand, now have one in row B - I think I'll miss elevation but will be closer to the action.

Only 1 to 2 mm rain so hopefully not a drenching. Still gonna take wet weather gear & gloves & beanie just in case.

Think this should be a ripper match (as long as we turn up to play which I think we will).

Despite fact I normally have allocated seat (as Ballarat Member) a little back from front rows in Western Stand, now have one in row B - I think I'll miss elevation but will be closer to the action.

Only 1 to 2 mm rain so hopefully not a drenching. Still gonna take wet weather gear & gloves & beanie just in case.

Think this should be a ripper match (as long as we turn up to play which I think we will).

That seat will be almost on the fence with little cover from roof.

You should go Easty, it is a great ground like the old suburban grounds. You can either drive or take a train, and buses pick you up at the station.

Yes, I thought of that. Pity they cannot give us seats as noted on our membership cards. Been at Mars when it’s been bitterly cold with cheer squad which really is a bleak spot when rain rolls in, and doubt it will be as horrible weather wise.

Last time we played Brisbane there I was in row A seat 1 right up against the fence and Lions interchange. Although it was interesting, it was hard to see with Lions players standing in front of me and also they set up the drinks stand in front of me.

Amazing - is that a first?

I communicated with club regarding my scenario just as an fyi, and we usually don't get the Ballarat games so this is a complementary thank you for last season apparently.

GA for us is standing, and can pay $50+ for seat.

Maybe the rain gods can be kind to me ! I'm kind of looking forward to it, local footy vibes.

From the club today regarding the ticketing for the match on Saturday:


As a Silver member with Marvel Stadium access, you will be eligible to redeem a ticket to Saturday’s twilight home match against Gold Coast at Marvel Stadium.

The start time of match against the Gold Coast Suns has been pushed-back to 4:35pm (AEST) by the AFL, from the previously published 1:40pm start time.

This week there are two key changes to the on-sale process for members:
Members will be able to purchase guest passes for non-members to sit with them in line with the transaction limit of six (6) tickets.

As part of an enhanced effort to support contract tracing, a name and mobile number must be supplied for every ticket that is purchased or redeemed. For juniors and dependents without a mobile phone, a parent or guardian may supply their number instead.


Below is the essential information you’ll need to redeem your ticket as part of Tuesday’s member priority on-sale window, via Ticketmaster.

1. Your home member barcode

You will require your HOME member barcode to redeem your ticket for Saturday’s match against Gold Coast.


2. Home club member on-sale window

Western Bulldogs Silver members with will have access to redeem their ticket in the Priority 2 home club member on-sale window, between 3pm, Tuesday 13 April and 9am, Wednesday 14 April.
Get Tickets
The preceding Priority 1 window is reserved for Gold Members (Level 2 seating). They will not have access to Silver Member Level 1 seating during their on-sale window.

Upon redeeming a ticket, Silver Members will be required to pay a $10 stadium fee per game, per adult or concession ticket; or a $5 fee per game, per ticket for a junior member to secure a seat on Level 2, or they can choose to redeem a ticket on Level 3 for a $0 fee for Marvel Stadium home games. These stadium fees, as previously communicated, were built-in to the cost of reserved seat memberships and have been removed in 2021. This new on-demand ticketing fee structure ensures members only pay for games they attend, delivering significant cost savings.

After the home club member on-sale, remaining tickets will be opened to away club members for purchase from 10am-12pm on Wednesday 14 April. Remaining tickets will then be made available to the general public from 1pm Wednesday 14 April. For Western Bulldogs access members yet to redeem a ticket, this will be a secondary opportunity to access tickets.


3. Selecting your seat

Upon entering the Ticketmaster website via the link above, there are two ways to select a seat.
Select 'Best Available' - You will be allocated the best available seat(s) on Level 1, subject to capacity.
Select a Section - Manually choose your preferred seating location on Level 1, subject to capacity. You will have the option to choose a seat(s) in one of three sections: Level 1 Premium, Wing and Goal. Silver members will also have the option of selecting a $0 ticket on Level 3.
As part of an enhanced effort to support contract tracing, a name and mobile number must be supplied for every ticket that is purchased or redeemed. For juniors and dependents without a mobile phone, a parent or guardian may supply their number instead.

Due to adjustments to 2021 membership as a result of COVID-19, membership this year does not guarantee you a specific seat for the duration of the season.



4. Tickets will be on-sale via Ticketmaster

Tickets for this home match at Marvel Stadium are available via Ticketmaster. If you don’t already have a Ticketmaster account, we recommend you set one up now. If you do have Ticketmaster account, be sure to login and check that all your details are correct. It’s better to reset your. password now than have trouble logging in on the day.


5. Booking tickets to sit with family and friends

You will be able to book up to six (6) tickets in one transaction. If you plan to book tickets for multiple family members in the one transaction, or to secure seats with friends, you will need to submit each individual Silver member barcode as part of the booking process to sit together on Level 1. For this match, you will be able to purchase guest passes for non-members to sit with you at the ticketed rate in line with the transaction limit of six (6) tickets.

Members can check their individual barcodes via their MyBulldogs account here.


6. Digital ticketing only, member cards won’t get you access

Unlike previous seasons, AFL matches in 2021 will be fully ticketed and fully digital. To access the stadium you will need to use the digital ticket issued to you by Ticketmaster. Members will not be able to scan-in to games using their membership card due to contact tracing and social distancing restrictions.

As such, access to the Victory Room is not possible for EJ Whitten Social Club members across the stadium as it has been in previous seasons.

If you have a mix of membership types the system doesn’t allow you to do that. When we have had sufficient barcodes of the same type and done back to back bookings the closest we could get was about 10 rows apart. Club can’t do much, but hopefully someone in the decision making arena can see these issues as problematic.

Ticketing data trial at two matches in Round Five (https://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/904403)


The AFL advises that for two matches in Round Five of the 2021 Toyota AFL Premiership Season a ticketing data collection trial will take place to assist the league in getting back to 100% capacity for matches in Victoria.


When purchasing tickets online all fans will be required to enter the name and contact number of each person attending the match. Previously fans would only need to enter one person’s details in the attending group.


Should members or fans have dependants they are purchasing for (or someone that doesn’t have a mobile number) they will be able to enter their own contact details on their behalf. Example being a family attending and parent enters their mobile number for the child attending with them.


The aim is to assist the Victorian Government obtaining the contact details of all fans attending to the matches to best assist with contact tracing and fans can be contacted faster and more efficiently in the event of a Covid related outbreak.


A successful trial further mitigates community risk and assists the AFL’s case to get back towards 100% capacity in venues for matches.


The trial will be conducted in Round Five at the following matches:


Carlton vs Port Adelaide, MCG.
Ticketek is the venue ticketing agent.


Western Bulldogs vs Gold Coast SUNS, Marvel Stadium
Ticketmaster is the venue ticketing agent.


AFL Executive General Manager Commercial and Customer Kylie Rogers, thanked fans for their understanding so far this season and share in their enthusiasm to return to full capacity.


“We empathise that fans have had to change the way they may ordinarily purchase tickets and attend matches as we continue to navigate the pandemic and modify our behaviours,” Ms Rogers said.


“Encouragingly the data shows fans have quickly adopted the digital ticketing process, and we thank them for embracing the required change.


“The trial this week will assist us in getting back to 100% capacity as soon as possible and eventually seeing members get back to their beloved reserved seats in stadium.”


The four clubs will be in direct contact with their members to provide further assistance.


It is estimated that adding the contact details in during the ticketing purchase process should add only 30 seconds to one minute to the transaction time.


The AFL continues to work with the Victorian State Government on providing fans a pathway to 100% capacity at the venues.

To BAD's post, I get they are telling us that collection of data on this level is to assist in getting to 100% attendances at games but it doesn't tell us how...I mean what behaviour at the ground is actually being changed to make it more safe through folks registering their details at the point of purchase? Are we going to scrap the QR check-in process once at the ground because we're registered by identification and gate entry point as having entered?

If I was a cynic, I would say there is an element of the AFL working with its ticketing provider to reduce instances of ticket sharing among attendees/ members etc. to ensure more people are actually paying to go to games if not actually members.

They realise they have the captured market of the members, so by leaving some good GA they probably model they can sate their demand with decent seats. If all that was left for GA was the nose bleeds I guess they make no money?

So it clearly doesn't matter if you get online early - in fact, you may be better off waiting.
In previous weeks I was online immediately at the opening times for ticket purchases. Round 1 was in absolute nosebleed. Round 2, was ok - level 2, row P I think.

Yesterday, didn't get a chance to book tickets until 7pm last night - and got Level 2, row A on the half forward flank.

Obviously a good result for me, but absolute rubbish that 'best available' is really not the case when you make the effort to get online straight away.

I explored tix for gws match at different times, trying different methods eg best available vs selecting specific areas or cost - despite cost noted in options final cost was extraordinarily high eg be $100 and $200 something per ticket even after selecting lower cost seating areas. Then a few random times could find $34 ticket with $6 booking fee on top of that. Seems criminal that thru can inflate prices in seemingly random way unless it’s a glitch in their system (not like they’ve had long enough to sort it out.....).

Unable to go now anyway but gee it turns you off even thinking about buying tix.

I’ve been happy to go to away games for free this season, and row C on level 3 for the Eagles game is near equivalent to level 2, just don’t know why it isn’t first in best seats.

Don’t have an issue with the process either, it’s been easy enough for me to navigate, my specific gripe I see as more a Ticketmaster beef at this point.

I used to stand at games, but some level 3 seats at Marvel aren’t as bad as you think

I’ve been happy to go to away games for free this season, and row C on level 3 for the Eagles game is near equivalent to level 2, just don’t know why it isn’t first in best seats.

Don’t have an issue with the process either, it’s been easy enough for me to navigate, my specific gripe I see as more a Ticketmaster beef at this point.

I used to stand at games, but some level 3 seats at Marvel aren’t as bad as you think

Agreed. The only issue I see is with the way they allocate the seats. You can sit on level 3 for $0 as a bronze member, or pay to upgrade to lower level seats as has always been the case. I have even attended 2 away games for next to nothing this year.

Everyone has different preferences, I prefer level 3 to level 1 as long as I'm not right up the back. Level 2 is great but I have only ever sat there when I've got free tickets. Personally I would rather spend the extra on mid strength beer in plastic cups, but that may just be me. :D

So there’s a fee for entry to every match, an inability to get the best seats in a given section, no access to VFL games...so what do we actually get with our memberships again?

The ability to pay Bont enough to keep him at Footscray as opposed to Carlton (cause everyone wats to go to Carlton of course).

Ticketing Tips | Home member access for Round 8
The essential information for home access members ahead of Tuesday’s member on-sale for Sunday afternoon’s home match against Carlton.


Western Bulldogs home members with Marvel Stadium access will be eligible to redeem a ticket to Sunday’s afternoon home match against Carlton.

The home game will be the Bulldogs’ third at Marvel Stadium in season 2021. Bulldogs home members will have access to redeem tickets on Tuesday afternoon (4 May) with the general public ticket on-sale from 1pm, Wednesday (5 May) subject to availability.


Different to earlier 2021 home games, members will now be able to book up to 10 tickets per transaction, including guest passes. The transaction limit has been increased from six tickets per transaction.

Exclusive guest pass and upgrade offers have been made available to each member category for this match:

- Gold Members will be able to access discounted Level 2 guest passes (from $45) until 11:59pm Tuesday 4 May, before they revert to the normal ticketed price.

- Silver Members will be able to access discounted Level 1 guest passes ($25) until 11:59pm Tuesday 4 May, before they revert to the normal ticketed price.

- Bronze Members will be able to upgrade to Level 1 Goals seats for $10, subject to availability.

Below is the essential information you’ll need to redeem your ticket as part of Tuesday’s member priority on-sale window, via Ticketmaster.


1. Your home member barcode
You will require your HOME member barcode to redeem your ticket for Sunday’s match against Carlton. An email will be sent to all home access members on Monday morning (May 3) containing this.
If you have not received this email by Monday afternoon, please contact membership@westernbulldogs.com.au with your correct email address using the subject line ‘Please update my email’.


Members can check their individual barcodes themselves too, via their MyBulldogs account here.


2. Home club member on-sale window
Western Bulldogs home access members will have the opportunity to redeem their ticket across one of three on-sale windows, opening on Tuesday afternoon (4 May) and all closing at 9am on Wednesday 5 May. These on-sale windows are as follows.

Tuesday, 4 May, 1pm: Western Bulldogs Members

- 1pm | Priority 1 - Gold Members

- 3pm | Priority 2 - Silver Members

- 5pm | Priority 3 - Bronze, Country, Interstate, Ballarat Members

* All off-sale at 9am Wednesday 5 May.

Coterie members received their own direct booking email for function room access last Thursday (29 April) from the Club, which must be completed by 5pm on 4 May. Please contact the Corporate Sales team if you are a coterie member and haven’t received the email with the booking form.

The on-sale windows for each respective membership category are expected to have minimal impact on the subsequent windows. Seats will be withheld to ensure tickets are available for each priority window. The Priority 1 window is reserved for Gold Members (Level 2 seating), Priority 2 for Silver Members and Priority 3 for Bronze, Ballarat, Interstate and Country members.

Gold members looking to redeem a ticket* on Level 2 will be required to pay a $10 stadium fee per seat ($5 for juniors). Alternatively, Gold members can redeem a ticket at a $0 fee on Level 3*.

Silver members looking to redeem a ticket* on Level 1 will be required to pay a $10 stadium fee per seat ($5 for juniors). Alternatively, Silver members can redeem a ticket at a $0 fee no charge on Level 3*.


Bronze, Country, Interstate and Ballarat 4 game members will be able to redeem a ticket at a $0 fee on Level 3*. To redeem a $0 ticket, members must select the section Level 3 and then choose a seat(s) in either the Premium or Beyond Premium category, subject to capacity.

Stadium fees for Gold and Silver members were previously built-in to the cost of reserved seat memberships and have been removed in 2021. This new on-demand ticketing fee structure ensures members only pay for games they attend. A Western Bulldogs membership in 2021 will cost an average of $16 less per game than the equivalent membership products of other Marvel Stadium tenant Clubs, even once the $10 stadium fee has been applied.

*Subject to capacity



3. Tickets will be on-sale via Ticketmaster

Tickets for this home match at Marvel Stadium are available via Ticketmaster. If you don’t already have a Ticketmaster account, we recommend you set one up now. If you do have Ticketmaster account, be sure to login and check that all your details are correct. It’s better to reset your password now than have trouble logging in on the day.
As part of an enhanced effort to support contract tracing, a name and mobile number must be supplied for every ticket that is purchased or redeemed. For juniors and dependents without a mobile phone, a parent or guardian may supply their number instead.



4. Booking tickets to sit with family and friends

You will be able to book up to ten (10) tickets in one transaction. If you plan to book tickets for multiple family members in the one transaction, or to secure seats with friends, you will need to submit each home barcode as part of the booking process to sit together.
Members wishing to sit together must have the same tier of membership product. Gold Members can only book with Gold Members to access Level 2 seating; Silver Members can only book with Silver Members to access Level 1 seating; Bronze, Interstate, Country and Ballarat members can only book with one another to access Level 3 seating.
For this match, members will be able to purchase guest passes for non-members to sit with them at the ticketed rate.



5. Digital ticketing only, member cards won’t get you access

Unlike previous seasons, AFL matches in 2021 will be fully ticketed and fully digital. To access the stadium, you will need to use the digital ticket issued to you by Ticketmaster.
Members will not be able to scan into games using their membership card due to contact tracing and social distancing restrictions. Ensure you save your tickets on your phone so you’re ready for match day.
If you’re a last-minute decision-maker, you can redeem tickets at the game and on game day, from your phone via Ticketmaster or the Ticketmaster App.



6. Accessible Seating

Please contact Ticketmaster’s Accessible Seating Line if you have wheelchair, companion card or special needs booking requirements.
Ticketmaster’s Accessible Seating hotline is 1300 446 925 or you can email your requests to accessibletickets@ticketmaster.com.au. Please ensure you include the Event Name, Venue, Date and Time along with your contact details.
The Ticketmaster Accessible Bookings team are available 9am – 8pm (AEST) Monday to Friday, and 9am – 5pm (AEST) Saturday and Sunday seven days a week.



7. EJ Whitten Social Club Room won’t operate at Round 8

Due to Marvel Stadium’s COVID safe plan, movement within the stadium is limited to the segment in which you are seated. As such, access to the Victory Room is not possible for EJ Whitten Social Club members across the stadium as it has been in previous seasons.
Based on this, and AFL recommendations, we will not have a Social Club room for Saturday’s Round 8 match.
This will be reviewed on a round-by-round basis. For any queries regarding EJ Whitten Social Club email membership@westernbulldogs.com.au or call 1300 46 36 47



8. Member scarf and cap collection
For members that chose to use their $20 Bulldog Shop voucher to redeem a 2021 member scarf or cap, a reminder that collection is only possible from VU Whitten Oval and is not available at match day. Members can also choose to have it shipped to them for the cost of postage.



Have you got any further questions?
If you have any further questions regarding Round 8 match access, or using your 2021 membership, please email membership@westernbulldogs.com.au or visit our online FAQs.

From the CEO this morning via email:

I hope you’ve enjoyed the start to this AFL season, which prior to Round 7 had been our Club’s most successful start to a season in 75 years. Despite the loss to the Tigers last week, we trust you’ve enjoyed watching the team put together some impressive wins. We’ve loved having our members and fans back at the footy and your energy and passion has been felt by all of us at the Club.

Earlier today the AFL announced that from Round 9, club members with a reserved seat entitlement will be able to return to their traditional reserved seat. Due to reduced venue capacities and contact tracing requirements, clubs have not yet been able to deliver this entitlement to members who have purchased a reserved seat as part of their 2021 package. As the last fortnight in Western Australia has also shown, the challenges of dealing with COVID-19 and its impact on crowds means this ever-present threat continues to loom.

As you know, our Club made a different decision at the end of last year to remove the reserved seat from our 2021 products given we could not guarantee the delivery of this benefit. With the changes made to our model in 2021, it is not possible for the Club to reassign members their traditional reserved seat for the balance of this AFL season.

In developing our model, we ultimately didn’t want you paying for a benefit we could not guarantee you’d receive, and particularly in context of the 2020 season where so many of you generously pledged your membership to the Club despite not being able to attend AFL matches. The model we implemented has meant rather than being charged these reserved seat fees upfront, Gold and Silver members only pay for games attended, and through a $10 stadium fee ($5 juniors) at the point of purchase.

Clubs across the industry have all taken different approaches to their membership models in 2021, which has seen a significant impact on membership revenue and yield and we have been no different. The impact on us is also attributable to the Club consciously pricing our key membership products more affordably than other Marvel Stadium tenant clubs to provide more value after the challenges of 2020.

At the same time, the value and flexibility offered within the model has no doubt been a key factor in helping us achieve our highest ever membership renewal rate at almost 90%, as we close in on 45,000 members for only the second time in our history. We’ve also welcomed over 10,000 new and returning members with many selecting products only available as a result of the changes made to the model.

While members have not been able to sit in their traditional reserved seat this year, the model enables other benefits we hope have provided some value to you, in addition to the reduced membership costs. This includes your ability to purchase member guest passes to attend the game with friends and family who are not members. Through our priority member on sale yesterday and ahead of Sunday’s game against Carlton, we were pleased to see more than 1600 Gold and Silver members take up the opportunity to purchase guest passes for family and friends. We plan to extend this guest pass benefit for the duration of the season and will confirm these details ahead of our next home game against St Kilda in Round 10.

We appreciate and acknowledge that some members have been challenged by the ticketing process which has been in place for all clubs this season. We’re encouraged by the fact that many of you have now adapted well to this change and the weekly on-sale process has become much easier. Along with the recent increase of transaction limits of 10 tickets, ticket on-sales from Round 9 will be blocked in groups of two rounds (eg. Round 9 and 10), so you can purchase tickets up to a fortnight in advance.  

Our intent remains to provide a fixed reserved seat option for members from the 2022 season, and we look forward to providing this opportunity to you.

We are also exploring the possibility of providing members the opportunity to secure a fixed seat (not a member’s traditional reserved seat) for our final four Marvel Stadium home matches, beginning with our Round 16 match against North Melbourne. Further information will be communicated as details are confirmed.

We thank you for your ongoing support of the Club which is critical to assisting us to be as successful as we can both on and off the field. Your support means everything to us, and we remain grateful to the almost 45,000 members who have joined us on our journey in season 2021. We hope to see you at Marvel Stadium on Sunday afternoon in full voice as we look to return to the winners’ list against Carlton.

What garbage. They can flick the switch and give members their seats back but why would they want to, they're giving us a "discounted" rate and they may lose a bit of coin not to mention public purchasing and family/friends discounts etc seems like a bit of a golden goose. I mean gosh, why would they want to give back to us after last year?


We are also exploring the possibility of providing members the opportunity to secure a fixed seat (not a member’s traditional reserved seat) for our final four Marvel Stadium home matches, beginning with our Round 16 match against North Melbourne. Further information will be communicated as details are confirmed.

Translation. We've bled for most of the season and now we can afford to give you the seats similar to what you should be able to get from round 9 onwards.

The Club is also pleased to confirm that each member category will have access to set guest pass prices for the remainder of the season.


Below is the essential information you’ll need to redeem your ticket as part of Tuesday’s member priority on-sale window, via Ticketmaster.




1. Your home member barcode


You will require your HOME member barcode to redeem your ticket for the Round 10 (Saturday May 22) against St Kilda. An email will be sent to all home access members on Monday, May 10 containing this.
If you have not received this email by Monday afternoon, please contact membership@westernbulldogs.com.au with your correct email address using the subject line ‘Please update my email’.


Members can check their individual barcodes themselves too via their MyBulldogs account here.


2. Home club member on-sale window


Western Bulldogs home access members will have the opportunity to redeem their ticket across one of three on-sale windows, opening on Tuesday afternoon (May 11) and all closing at 9am, Wednesday May 12.These on-sale windows are as follows:
Tuesday, May 11, 1pm: Western Bulldogs Members


· 1pm | Priority 1 - Gold Members


· 3pm | Priority 2 - Silver Members


· 5pm | Priority 3 - Bronze, Country, Interstate, Ballarat Members


All off sale at 9am on Wednesday May 12.


Coterie Members


Coterie members will receive their own direct booking email for function room access this coming Thursday (13 May) from the Club, which must be completed by 5pm on May 18. Please contact the Corporate Sales team if you are a coterie member and you haven’t received the email with the booking form.


The on-sale windows for each respective membership category are expected to have minimal impact on the subsequent windows. Seats will be withheld to ensure tickets are available for each priority window. The Priority 1 window is reserved for Gold Members (Level 2 seating), Priority 2 for Silver Members and Priority 3 for Bronze, Ballarat, Interstate and Country members.


Gold members looking to redeem a ticket* on Level 2 will be required to pay a $10 stadium fee per seat ($5 for juniors). Alternatively, Gold members can redeem a ticket at a $0 fee on Level 3*.


Silver members looking to redeem a ticket* on Level 1 will be required to pay a $10 stadium fee per seat ($5 for juniors). Alternatively, Silver members can redeem a ticket at a $0 fee no charge on Level 3*.


Bronze, Country, Interstate and Ballarat 4 game members will be able to redeem a ticket at a $0 fee on Level 3*. To redeem a $0 ticket, members must select the section Level 3 and then choose a seat(s) in either the Premium or Beyond Premium category, subject to capacity.


Stadium fees for Gold and Silver members were previously built-in to the cost of reserved seat memberships and have been removed in 2021. This new on-demand ticketing fee structure ensures members only pay for games they attend. A Western Bulldogs membership in 2021 will cost an average of $16 less per game than the equivalent membership products of other Marvel Stadium tenant Clubs, even once the $10 stadium fee has been applied.


*Subject to capacity


3. Tickets will be on-sale via Ticketmaster


Tickets for this home match at Marvel Stadium are available via Ticketmaster. If you don’t already have a Ticketmaster account, we recommend you set one up now. If you do have Ticketmaster account, be sure to login and check that all your details are correct. It’s better to reset your password now than have trouble logging in on the day.


As part of an enhanced effort to support contract tracing, a name and mobile number must be supplied for every ticket that is purchased or redeemed. For juniors and dependents without a mobile phone, a parent or guardian may supply their number instead.




4. Booking tickets to sit with family and friends
You will be able to book up to ten (10) tickets in one transaction. If you plan to book tickets for multiple family members in the one transaction, or to secure seats with friends, you will need to submit each home barcode as part of the booking process to sit together.
Members wishing to sit together must have the same tier of membership product. Gold Members can only book with Gold Members to access Level 2 seating; Silver Members can only book with Silver Members to access Level 1 seating; Bronze, Interstate, Country and Ballarat members can only book with one another to access Level 3 seating.


5. Digital ticketing only, member cards won’t get you access
Unlike previous seasons, AFL matches in 2021 will be fully ticketed and fully digital. To access the stadium, you will need to use the digital ticket issued to you by Ticketmaster.


Members will not be able to scan-in to games using their membership card due to contact tracing and social distancing restrictions. Ensure you save your tickets on your phone so you’re ready for match day.
If you’re a last-minute decision-maker, you can redeem tickets at the game and on game day, from your phone via Ticketmaster or the Ticketmaster App.


6. Accessible Seating
Please contact Ticketmaster’s Accessible Seating Line if you have wheelchair, companion card or special needs booking requirements.



Ticketmaster’s Accessible Seating hotline is 1300 446 925, or you can email your requests to accessibletickets@ticketmaster.com.au. Please ensure you include the event name, venue, date and time along with your contact details.
