Tickets on sale for Goulburn Valley Suns versus Melbourne Victory game at McEwen Reserve

The announcement was made last week that Victory, an A-league powerhouse, would trek to Shepparton to play the Suns in a pre-season friendly before the 2024-25 season’s start.

However, at the time, pricing was not made public.

Council has since confirmed that bookings through the website TryBooking will cost $15 for adults, $10 for concessions, students and children aged 6-15, while children five and under get in for free.

A family pass for two adults and two children will cost $40.

Tickets bought at the gate will set punters back a touch more, with entrance for adults costing $20, $10 for concessions, students and children aged 6-15, free for children five and under and $50 for a family pass.

Meanwhile, Melbourne Victory 2024-25 season members will access the event at no charge.

City of Greater Shepparton Mayor Shane Sali encouraged residents to purchase tickets early to avoid disappointment.

“To avoid missing out, or risk being in long queues, we invite our community to jump online and pre-purchase your tickets,” he said.

“Not only will this save you some time, the tickets online will be available for a lower cost than what they will be at the gate.

“I want to encourage all of Greater Shepparton to experience this unique opportunity, and see some of the A-League’s best players at our premier regional sporting facility.

“With an expected crowd of an estimated 2000 people, we are encouraging residents to carpool if possible and to give yourselves enough time to enter the gates so you can take it all in.”

The gates will open at 5pm with kick off at 6.30pm.
