Matchday information

Why this matters

The Australian Championship brings the country’s best NPL clubs together: 16 clubs from seven states and territories, Champions League-style groups, then knockout football all the way to a final in December.

The Sharks never played in the old National Soccer League. This is the club’s first national competition in 96 years, and these are the biggest games at Seymour Shaw in decades.

Questions

What is the 3-game pass?

Our Aus Championship membership: one ticket for all three home games, for less than buying them separately.

Do the prices include fees?

Yes. Every price on this page includes GST and Intix booking fees.

Can I buy at the gate?

Yes, at gate prices. Buying online costs the same or less and skips the queue.

Who counts as a child?

Anyone under 18 on match day.

Who gets a concession?

Pensioners, seniors, students and holders of an Australian Government Health Care Card.

When do the gates open?

An hour and a half before kick-off.

What if it rains?

We play on. Bring a jacket; the John Hills Grandstand is under cover.

Where can I watch?

Every match is live and free on SBS On Demand. Our home games against South Melbourne and Sydney United 58 are also on SBS.

What are the conditions of entry?

Football Australia’s Terms of Admission apply at every Championship game. In short: Seymour Shaw is a licensed venue, so no alcohol, glass or cans through the gate; smoking only in designated areas; and tickets can’t be resold at a premium. Terms of Admission (PDF)

What if I can’t make it?

Refunds are at the club’s discretion: Sutherland Sharks FC can grant or deny them. To ask, get in touch with the club. Contact the club
