THE AFL is pleased to confirm kids and club members will have FREE access to the 2024 AAMI Community Series, as the league extends its partnership with AAMI for the pre-season event for a further two years.
As a long-term partner of the League, AAMI has reinforced its commitment to the AFL by remaining as the Premier Partner of the annual Community Series that will be held from February 27 to March 3 at venues across the country.
Club and AFL Members with Premiership Season entry entitlements will have free access to matches by scanning in with their membership to the venue on match day.
These arrangements will extend across all AAMI Community Series matches, except for the Richmond v Collingwood match, with ticketing details supporting a charity to be communicated tomorrow.
Tickets for the AAMI Community Series will go on sale at 10am for club members and 2pm (venue local time) for the general public on Tuesday, February 6.
AFL Executive General Manager Customer and Commercial Kylie Rogers welcomed the return of the AAMI Community Series.
"AAMI has been our premier partner of the annual Community Series since 2021, and we're proud to welcome the return of the pre-season competition to venues across the country.
"The 2024 AAMI Community Series is a great opportunity for fans to get their first look at their teams for the season. I am looking forward to seeing thousands of fans in attendance in what will be a great day out for the whole family."
Suncorp Executive General Manager, Brand and Customer Experience, Mim Haysom said AAMI was thrilled to be working in partnership with the AFL to revitalise the pre-season competition in 2024.

"The AAMI Community Series is designed to provide greater access to top-class football games to AFL fans and we are proud to be part of such a great community event."
