ESSENTIAL POWER MEMBERS

If you have applied for a season-reserved seat in the Western Stand via the SMA, you will be notified over the next week if you were successful.

Please note: Guest passes to the Western Stand will be unavailable for this game.

GENERAL ADMISSION MEMBERS (GENERAL ADMISSION 11-GAME, 3-GAME, COUNTRY, VICTORIAN 11, VICTORIAN 4 & INTERSTATE) 


General admission membership will normally allow you to scan your membership card at the Adelaide Oval turnstiles to enter the ground and entitles you access to the unreserved general admission areas.

The exception to this is games that are SOLD OUT or fully ticketed where every seat in the stadium is a reserved seat and hence there is no general admission seating. This is the case for our Round 2 Balfours Showdown XXXVI game against the Adelaide Crows on Saturday 29 March 2014 at 4.10pm (SA time). For access into this historic Showdown you must upgrade to a reserved seat ticket using the instructions below during the exclusive Port Adelaide member pre-sale period from 9:00am until 7:00pm (SA time) on Tuesday 11 March.

Your membership card will not scan at the gate for this match – YOU MUST UPGRADE TO A RESERVED SEAT or select a standing room only ticket.

Strictly one ticket only is available per membership barcode number.
