The October 10 final at AAMI Park pits NPL side South Melbourne against A-League powerhouse Melbourne Victory in the first all-Victorian Australia Cup decider of the modern era.
Adult tickets start at $25, but after 17,000 sold in member pre-sales, only around 3,900 remained by evening of the first public day, with away ends nearly gone.
South Melbourne reached their maiden final with a 3-1 comeback over Lions FC, while Victory beat Sydney FC 2-0; the 7:35pm kickoff airs on Network 10 and Paramount+.
