But, in saying this, there was an admittance increase to $22 with concession holders and 14 to 17-year-olds paying $12, under 14s were admitted free.
It was the largest amount ever taken at a GVL grand final, and with only two teams involved in the three football season deciders for the first time in its history, it was a pleasing result for the league.
The Murray league grand final at Moama on Saturday drew an even better attendance.
It’s gate takings were $84,433 even though admittance prices were less than the GVL.
Adults paid $20, pensioners $10, 12 to 17-year-olds $5, and under 12s were admitted free to watch Congupna beat Cobram.
Murray league boss Dale Norman said the overall gate takings across the finals for the league was a record $191,000.
The Kyabram District League grand final gate takings this year were $46,000, which was slightly down on last year, but on average with recent seasons.
The Picola District league’s recent grand final gate takings were still being finalised, but according to the league’s operations manager Shane Railton, was pushing $50,000.
Gate charges were $16 with $10 for pensioners and under 18 free.
