The general public will miss out on tickets to Saturday's AFL grand final rematch after 40,000 seats available to St Kilda and Collingwood members sold out in six hours.

Tickets will go on sale to AFL members through Collingwood or St Kilda club support packages from 9am (AEST) on Tuesday and all other full members can buy tickets from 1pm.

A statement from the AFL said 40,000 tickets allocated to St Kilda and Collingwood club members were snapped up by 3pm on Monday.

"As such, there will be no public tickets available for sale to this game," the statement said.

About 12,000 seats reserved by the Melbourne Cricket Club will go on sale to MCC members from noon on Tuesday.

The remaining 10,000 seats and 1000 standing room spots will be available on a first-in, best-dressed basis to MCC members when gates open on Saturday.
