The popularity of AFL football is staggering. In 2008, crowds reached an all-time attendance record of 7,083,015 people through the turnstiles across the country. While our cumulative average television audience reached an incredible 14 million people across the 5 capital cities and 5 major regions. Club membership also set a new record with almost 575,000 people being financial members of their Club.
Exceptional growth was also reflected in the AFL’s Event & Hospitality Program, which continues to provide premium corporate hospitality opportunities for companies throughout Australia. Our comprehensive program provides a range of first-class options that extend across our four key areas: matchday functions, major events, Grand Final week events and the AFL Premiership Club.
The highly anticipated 2009 season will see a number of new hospitality initiatives including an exclusive members-only Lounge Bar at Etihad Stadium, which will assist in ensuring the AFL Premiership Club continues to set the benchmark for AFL hospitality.
Our major event calendar will celebrate our game and recognize those individuals that have positioned the AFL as our nation’s most popular sporting code, while delivering a dining experience second to none.
On matchdays, our AFL Official Functions will host the season’s biggest blockbusters in the best facilities at the MCG, Etihad Stadium and ANZ Stadium, providing corporate guests with the opportunity to rub shoulders with the AFL’s key stakeholders and like-minded leaders of business. While our highly sought after finals hospitality program will continue to deliver a matchday experience like no other in sport.
We look forward to the opportunity to discuss the AFL Events & Hospitality Program in more detail and tailoring a package to cater for your requirements.
