HOW ELSE CAN I SECURE A SEAT TO THE SHOWDOWN ?

PRE-SALE OPPORTUNITY
If you’re not a Port Adelaide 11-game reserved seat or Essential Power member, the best way to secure a seat for the historic first Showdown is to buy a ticketed membership with the club in order to access the ticket PRE-SALE in early March.

All ticketed members will gain access to a 24-hour priority window to purchase one reserved seat (per membership) for Showdown XXXVI on March 29.

Membership categories eligible for the early march PRE-SALE window include:

1. 11-game general admission season membership (adult from $175)
2. Country membership – provides five games general admission (adult from $150)
3. Interstate Victorian membership – provides general admission to two Port Adelaide home games, plus interstate games (adult from $150)
4. Interstate membership – provides general admission to two Port Adelaide home games, plus interstate games (adult from $120)
5. 3-game membership – provides three-game general admission membership (adult from $100)

With no general admission seating available for the Showdown - every seat will be reserved - it is critical that you become eligible for PRE-SALE in order to be part of the unique and spine-tingling atmosphere of this Port Adelaide home game. Crows acting captain Patrick Dangerfield famously referred to the atmosphere generated by Port Adelaide’s supporters as scary, and we’ll be bringing our true Port Adelaide passion to the heart of the city on March 29.

Remember, members will only be able to purchase one upgrade per membership through the PRE-SALE period, so a member will need to buy four memberships in order to purchase a four memberships for four upgrades.

The PRE-SALE for Showdown XXXVI will be opened to Adelaide Crows members following the Port Adelaide PRE-SALE window.
