Tickets for both qualifying finals will go on sale this Thursday, August 28, with the timing of on-sale times to be confirmed later on Monday.
Both elimination finals will be held on Saturday, September 6, but the schedule will not be announced until after Wednesday night’s match between Gold Coast and Essendon, which will determine the finishing positions of the bottom half of the eight.
Greater Western Sydney will host one elimination final at Engie Stadium against one of Gold Coast, Hawthorn and the Western Bulldogs.
Fremantle will host the other elimination final at Optus Stadium against one of Gold Coast and Hawthorn.
“Wednesday night’s rescheduled game still has an impact on the final eight but with the top four locked in we wanted to give fans some certainty and allow them to plan,” said Josh Bowler, the AFL’s Head of Strategy and Scheduling.
“We still have an incredibly exciting final match of the home and away season to come with the Gold Coast SUNS playing for a spot in their first finals series.
“On behalf of the AFL I would like to thank the more than seven million fans who have attended matches so far this season and the millions more who tuned in, along with every club, player, coach, umpire, staff member, and all our commercial and broadcast partners.”
