RFC email:

---------------------

Dear OE,

All 18 teams will come together in Adelaide for Gather Round...A Festival of Footy, in the 2023 Toyota AFL Premiership Season!

As a Richmond Football Club access member, you have the opportunity to redeem one free ticket to watch us take on Sydney Swans at Adelaide Oval: Friday April 14, at 7.20pm (ACDT) / 7.50pm (AEDT).

This is an additional benefit to your 2023 membership package, and does not impact your existing entitlements for next season.

Tickets go on-sale Monday December 12 via Ticketek. AFL and Club access members have access to a priority redemption period from 12pm - 4pm (ACDT) / 12.30pm - 4.30pm (AEDT) before tickets go on sale to the general public at 5pm (ACDT) / 5.30pm (AEDT).

To redeem your free ticket, you must enter your individual 12-character voucher code detailed below. Your membership barcode will not unlock this additional benefit for Gather Round...A Festival of Footy.

With high demand expected, members are kindly asked to only redeem tickets if they plan to attend, this is out of fairness to other members.

This voucher code can alternatively be used to redeem a discounted Adelaide Oval multi-day pass to watch our match and others at the venue across the round. The member discounted price accounts for the free ticket to watch us play.

PLEASE NOTE: The ticketing buy link will be communicated to you the morning of the on-sale (Monday December 12).

Your voucher code is: redacted

One ticket OR multi-day pass can be redeemed per voucher code up to the transaction limit of 10 tickets/passes. To redeem multiple tickets or passes as a group with other members, you will need their voucher code.

Additional tickets will not be available for purchase during the member priority redemption period.

Tickets for Adelaide Oval matches will be issued as reserved seats or in the event you select ‘The Hill’, these will be general admission.

The voucher code is valid both in the member priority redemption window and in the general public on-sale, with tickets subject to availability.

Up to 10 tickets can be redeemed or purchased in one transaction.

I am a club member. When can I buy tickets?
AFL and club access members can access the priority redemption window and redeem a free ticket for Gather Round. Non access members will have to wait until the general public on-sale to purchase tickets.

Members will be provided with a single use voucher code to input at the start of the ticket buy-flow on Ticketek. The code will be a 12-character, alpha-numeric code. This code will only unlock benefits for AFL and club access members.

Club membership barcodes will not unlock any benefits or entitlements for Gather Round.

I am not a club member. When can I purchase tickets?
Non access members will have to wait until the general public on-sale to purchase tickets.

How will eligible members be provided their voucher code to access the Gather Round member priority redemption window?
Clubs will communicate directly with their access members to provide them with their voucher code.

Can access members purchase additional tickets during the member priority redemption window?
No, during the priority on-sale period AFL and club access members will be able to redeem their free ticket(s) only. No additional tickets will be available for purchase at this time. One ticket can be redeemed per voucher code up to the transaction limit of 10 tickets.

AFL and club access members can only purchase additional tickets during the general public on-sale.

Is my voucher code redeemable after the member priority redemption window?
The voucher code is valid both in the member priority redemption window and in the general public on-sale, with tickets subject to availability.

From the commencement of the general public on-sale, the voucher code also entitles the holder to purchase tickets at a discounted member exclusive price. 3

Can access members purchase tickets to matches not featuring their club of support during the member priority redemption window?
The voucher code provides members access to one free ticket to the event featuring their club of support OR if their club of support is featuring in an event at Adelaide Oval, it provides them with access to a discounted multi-day pass (factoring in the discount of their free single ticket).

What are the multi day passes and what matches do they apply for?
The multi-day passes are only available for matches at the Adelaide Oval, and are available in two (Fri-Sat or Sat-Sun), three (Fri-Sun) and four day (Thurs – Sun) options. They are a cost-effective ticketing option to attend multiple matches at the Adelaide Oval across Gather Round.

For AFL or club members whose club of support is playing at Adelaide Oval, these members can purchase one multi-day pass per voucher code, so long as one event covered by their multi-day pass features their club of support.

Is Gather Round part of 2023 AFL and club access membership entitlements and benefits?
No, access to Gather Round in Adelaide is an additional benefit outside of individual 2023 AFL and club membership packages. Redemption of a ticket for Gather Round does not impact existing membership inclusions for AFL and club access members.

Can Adelaide Crows or Port Adelaide members access their normal reserved seat for their Gather Round match?
No, this won’t be possible. As Gather Round does not form part of club members’ standard home entitlements, they subsequently do not have access to their reserved seat.

Where can I buy Accessible Seating tickets?
Wheelchair and carer tickets will be charged the applicable price of the bay it is positioned in. In some circumstances the AFL and the Venue may adjust some of these to ensure there are wheelchair and carer positions available in every price category.

6 games on the Adelaide Oval in 4 days! Better not hope it rains. Glad we're playing second on it and not last when it may be chopped up.

ps. Wasn't the point of this "gather round" to play a couple of games outside of Adelaide such as in the Barossa?

Of the non-SA clubs, we've played the most games at Adelaide Oval with 17 for 7 wins and 10 losses.

Compare that to Carlton who have only played there 6 times, Collingwood 9 times and Essendon 11.
