How to Organise the Ultimate Footy Trip in 2025

How to Organise the Ultimate Footy Trip in 2025

Planning a footy trip sounds fun… until you're the one chasing payments, arguing over dates, and trying to keep 20 blokes from booking separate flights.

But when done right? It’s the best weekend of the year — and Mad Monday makes it easy.

Here’s your no-stress guide to organising the ultimate footy trip in 2025.

1. Start Early – The Best Weekends Book Out Fast

The biggest mistake teams make is leaving it too late.
Popular destinations like Cairns, Gold Coast, Brisbane and Airlie Beach fill up quickly — especially for September and October.

We recommend booking at least 3 to 6 months in advance to get your first choice of dates, accommodation, and event access.

💡 Pro tip: You can book with just a $60 deposit per person, so there’s no excuse to leave it last minute.

2. Choose Your Destination Wisely

Think about your team’s vibe.
Want to send it hard? Go for Cairns, Goldie or Airlie.
Prefer a more chill weekend with bars and boat trips? Try Byron or Adelaide.

Wherever you go, Mad Monday has packages built to match your group’s vibe.

Depending on the package you choose, your trip can include:
• Accommodation close to the action
• Free custom singlets with nicknames and numbers
• Nightclub passes
• Group bar tabs
• VIP access to exclusive events

We’ve got options for every crew — whether you’re going full send or keeping it lowkey.

3. Pick a Package That Suits Your Crew

Every group is different — that’s why we offer multiple packages at every destination.

From budget-friendly options like the Punters Package to full-throttle trips like You Only Live Once, you can choose the exact experience that suits your crew.

Every package includes the essentials. From there, you can level up with party boats, airport transfers, private bar bookings, and more.

4. Keep It Simple With One Organiser

Nothing kills a trip faster than 5 people trying to plan it.

Nominate one organiser (probably you if you're reading this) and let Mad Monday handle the rest. We’ll set up your group booking, track payments, and give you all the info you need.

💥 And yes — group organisers get free Mad Monday footy shorts with their booking.

5. Lock It In With a $60 Deposit

Once your crew’s keen, it only takes a $60 deposit per person to book.
You can add more people later — but your spot is only secure once the deposit is paid.

This system means you don’t need to front thousands of dollars or chase people for cash. Just collect deposits and you’re good to go.

6. Let Mad Monday Do the Heavy Lifting

We’ve run trips for hundreds of teams across Australia — and we know how to make it smooth, fun, and chaos in all the right ways.

Once you’re booked in, we handle:

  • Accommodation

  • Events

  • Merch

  • Flights if requested.

  • Timings

  • And the chaos control

All you need to do is show up and send it.
