Prices are adult $14, child under 14 $2 child under 6 free, participating AFL club member free, AFL member free, concession/pensioner $8, family $28 (two adults, two juniors) and grandstand reserve seat $19.

Narrandera Shire mayor Wesley Hall would like to see the whole Riverina come together to watch top-level AFL in their own backyard.

"I would most definitely encourage all residents in the Riverina to come to Narrandera on Friday and take advantage of the rare opportunity to see the big name AFL players in their own backyard," councillor Hall said.

"To Griffith, Albury and Wagga residents, as well as all the places in between and around, we welcome you all to come take in the action at the picturesque Narrandera Sportsground.

"We are thrilled the Swans are coming back and I encourage locals to get behind them and (the Kangaroos) by decorating their shop fronts, cars or whatever, to show their support.

"The Riverina has plenty of AFL supporters in general and it is great the AFL has brought the game back to the area."

There have been a number of improvements made to the ground since the last pre-season AFL match. With the assistance from the AFL NSW-ACT and the NSW Government, the Narrandera Shire Council has upgraded the stadium's facilities, including a ground irrigation system and new sound system.
