When do individual tickets go on-sale?

In order to receive updates on the status of this release and to receive priority access to tickets please register here.

Travel packages that include airfares, accommodation and match tickets and hospitality tickets are now on sale. The travel partners have each been provided an allocation of match and hospitality tickets that they are currently available for sale.

What are the ticketing options?
The total capacity at the Stadium will be increased by approximately 2000 on the 2017 game in Shanghai, providing for additional hospitality, reserved and grandstand terrace ticketing options.

As a guide, the following ticketing and hospitality packages are available;


  1. Grandstand Terrace (Adults: $20-25 AUD) / ¥325, Student/Concession: $45 AUD/ ¥225)

    Seating sections on the stadium map will be GS1, GS14, GS7 & GS9

  1. Reserved Seating (Adults: $65-75 AUD) / ¥325, Student/Concession: $45 AUD/ ¥225)
    This category provides an allocated seat in the temporary grandstands in Adelaide Arena at Jiangwan Stadium, at playing field level for a premium viewing experience.

    Located on the playing field level at the north-eastern end of Adelaide Arena at Jiangwan Stadium, The Field Club offers a more relaxed carnival atmosphere, making it the perfect option for those wanting to combine the unique festival atmosphere of this game and will provide AFL action from the convenience of your allocated reserved seat.

    The Lounge provides the perfect blend of exclusive hospitality and football experience.

This package provides the flexibility to move between your allocated reserved seat to enjoy the game and The Lounge to network and entertain. This is the perfect business networking option for those looking to connect and build relationships.

    We are currently working closely with Adelaide Arena at Jiangwan Stadium and the local authorities to make tickets available for sale in the stadium’s existing historic Grandstand Terraces, however these will not be available in the initial release on Monday. This ticket category will be the entry level price and will provide a great view of the ground.

    Due to the very high demand for this game, we recommend you purchase a ticket in one of the available categories as soon as possible along with your travel requirements to avoid disappointment. Only available through the approved travel partners for Shanghai 2018.


Why is there a price range?
The final costings are currently being worked on for the stadium infrastructure so a price guide is currently in place. Final pricing of each hospitality and ticketing package will be confirmed as soon as possible

Can I select my seat for the game?
No, like last year the seating and ticketing allocations are completed closer to the game due to the temporary infrastructure and grandstands that are built for the game. There are not installed until a few weeks prior to the game.

Why can I only book tickets to the game through a travel partner at the moment?

This is consistent with what happens with official travel packages for AFL games in Australia, with packages on sale with the fixture release and individual tickets available at a later date. It is consistent with the process we implemented in 2017, although we have now expanded the offer to include four travel partners to provide a greater range of options and service.

When the configuration for the Adelaide Arena at Jiangwan Stadium has been confirmed, an allocation of tickets will be released to the public in early 2018. The best way to be informed about that opportunity to secure a ticket for the game is to ensure you are registered here.

VIEW SEATING MAP

We recommend you explore the above seating map and pricing options to decide the category of ticket you would like to purchase, ensuring you are best prepared to purchase your tickets once tickets on go sale.

Will the game sell out?
We expect high demand for tickets for the game and are expecting it to sell out, as it did in 2017. If you are concerned about missing out on a match ticket, we recommend you speak with one of the authorised Shanghai 2018 travel partners.

When can I book tickets to non-game day events?

Further details about events around the Shanghai 2018 will be released closer to the date. Please register to ensure you are kept up to date on all ticket release information.

How do I collect my tickets?
Tickets will be available for collection in Shanghai, during the week of the game. You will be communicated with directly to confirm these details prior to the game, but by purchasing your ticket through an approved Shanghai 2018 travel partner, you are guaranteed the match ticketing or hospitality package you select at point of purchase.
