With less than a month until the AFL season begins returns, tickets for Collingwood’s three JLT Community Series matches will go on sale this week.

The Magpies will take to Etihad Stadium for the series’ opener against Essendon, before heading west to descend on Western Australia. Collingwood's AFL and AFLW sides will be travelling together in the lead-up to their respective matches in Mandurah’s Rushton Park, which is about an hour’s drive south of Perth.

It’s a doubleheader, with the AFLW players taking on Fremantle. The AFL side’s match will follow, which is also against the Dockers.

The pre-season competition concludes with a clash against Richmond at the Ted Summerton Reserve in Moe.

The trio of locations provides opportunities for fans from throughout Victoria and Western Australia to watch the Magpies in action in the preparation for the 2017 home and away season.

Collingwood members with match access will be granted free admission to all three games, however fans planning on attending the game against Fremantle in Mandurah and the Richmond clash in Moe, are encouraged to register for a general admission ticket due to limited capacity at each location.

Tickets to Collingwood's three JLT Community Series will officially be made available to club members during an exclusive pre-sale period on Tuesday 31 January at 9am.

The pre-sale period ensures the club members are afforded the opportunity to secure tickets to the pre-season matches before they are made available to the general public on Wednesday 1 February at 9am.
