Tickets
As at Thursday at 4.30pm, a very limited number of tickets are still available for Friday night’s clash online here. The club encourages supporters to pre-purchase tickets online, as the game is expected to sell out. A limited number of Western Stand guest passes are also still available through Ticketek. You can purchase up to four guest passes on an Essential Power Platinum, Essential Power Gold or Adelaide Oval 22-game ticket.
General admission members
General admission members including 3-game, 11-game GA, country and interstate have access to this match, even though it’s sold out.
General admission memberships are, however, subject to capacity on the night. A minimum number of seats and standing room positions are always held for general admission members, but should this number be reached, no further general admission members will be able to enter the ground.
The club recommends general admission members arrive early to avoid disappointment.
Upgrading a junior membership to an adult ticket
Families with junior members who are unable to attend the game can upgrade the junior membership to an adult daily ticket at the ground on Saturday night at any of the ticket offices. The upgrade will be the difference in cost (around $30).
March from the Mall
The club is expecting another big March from the Mall! Thousands are attending each march as Power supporters take over the city, marching from Rundle Mall to Adelaide Oval, led by an army of drummers.
Supporters are asked to meet outside the Myer Centre at 5.40pm for a 6pm departure.
Get there early to get involved with club partner Minelab’s activation in Rundle Mall.
Minelab will have a giant sandpit set up with hidden treasure for people young and old to try and find using one of Minelab’s metal detectors.
Minelab will also have a set-up at Adelaide Oval. There’ll be music, balloons and goodie bags at both locations.
