The Crows will play North Melbourne in an Elimination Final at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night, September 10.
Adelaide finished the home and away season in fifth place on the AFL ladder, as one of three teams with a record of 16 wins and six losses, and will take on the eighth-placed Kangaroos at 7:10pm (local) on Saturday of the second week of September.
Game-access Adelaide and North Melbourne Football Club members will be able to purchase tickets during a member priority period starting at 10:00am (SA time) on Tuesday, August 30.
Game-access members can purchase one ticket per membership barcode. Multiple seats can be purchased in the one transaction with multiple barcodes.
Unfortunately, as finals ticketing is controlled by the AFL and not the competing clubs, members won’t be able to secure the same seats as in the home and away season.
Tickets will go on sale to members without game access and the general public at noon on Wednesday, August 31, until sold out. Tickets will be available at Ticketek.com.au.
It will be the first final the Crows have hosted since the 2012 Semi-Final against Fremantle, and the Club’s first-ever final at Adelaide Oval.
Adelaide and North Melbourne have already met twice this season. The Kangaroos came from behind to win by 10 points at Etihad Stadium in Round One, and the Crows exacted revenge with a 33-point victory at Adelaide Oval in Round 14.
The winner of the knockout clash between the Crows and Roos will progress to a Semi-Final in NSW against the loser of the Qualifying Final between the Sydney Swans and Greater Western Sydney.
For the first time, the AFL has scheduled a ‘bye’ weekend before the start of the finals series in the second weekend of September.
But Crows fans will still have a team to cheer on this weekend, with Adelaide’s SANFL team also playing in an Elimination Final.
The SANFL Crows finished the minor round in fourth position, qualifying for finals for the first time.
The Crows will take on Central District at Adelaide Oval from 12:10pm on Saturday, September 3. The winner will advance to the First Semi-Final.
