The League will work with charity and community groups to ensure some disadvantaged people are granted access to the Collingwood and St Kilda replay at the MCG.
“We will be providing some tickets for people who would never get a chance to see a grand final,” AFL CEO Andrew Demetriou told Melbourne radio station 3AW on Monday.
Demetriou said the AFL would make sure those underprivileged members of the community were catered for regardless of ticket sales.
“I don’t know whether we’ll sell this game out because it is a tall order to ask people to spend that amount of money again,” he said.
“I think there will be some tickets spare, but even if there’s not, we’ll make some available to make sure people who would never get a chance to see it.”
There were two drawn grand finals on VFL/AFL record before Saturday, with both games featuring reduced attendance figures for the replay.
In the 1977 Collingwood-North Melbourne draw, 108,224 attended the first game with 98,366 turning out for the second.
The 1948 Essendon-Melbourne duel drew 85,658 fans in the first week, which fell to 52,226 the week after.
Demetriou also said the possibility of inflated prizemoney for the winner and runner-up of the game would be discussed on Monday.
