Collingwood’s 2018 fixture
23 rounds. 22 games. 1 bye. 144 days until the season gets underway against Hawthorn under lights on a Saturday night at the MCG.

What does it mean for supporters?
In 2018, there is a wide range of benefits to becoming a Collingwood member and sharing the ride with us.

Bring a friend for free
All Collingwood members will be able to bring a friend for free in 2018 to a home game at the MCG of their choice (excluding ANZAC Day).

The free ticket will be a general admission ticket to MCG home games only. General admission entry is subject to capacity.

The ticket cannot be upgraded to a reserved seat or access any of the Club reserved seating areas.

Members will receive one redemption ticket with their membership pack. Unfortunately, lost or misplaced tickets cannot be replaced.

Match day ticketing
Daily tickets will be available for purchase through the relevant venue ticketing agency in early March 2018.

The AFL will advise when this date has been confirmed.

Ticketing arrangements will be confirmed by February and all games will be open for members to select their seat for their entitlement game.

Details regarding the clash against Fremantle at the new Perth Stadium in round 23 will be forwarded in due course to Western Australian members (including any ballot requirements).
