The big day is almost here!

Robby and Mat with their auctioneer on the block

One of Australian reality TV’s biggest nights is almost here — The Block auctions — and fans are wondering whether they can be there to watch it all unfold in person on Saturday.

While the all-important auctions won’t air until Sunday night at 7pm on Channel 9 and 9Now, they’re actually taking place the day before in Daylesford.

In past seasons, fans have been able to attend in person, which is a fun day out for those eager to see the action up close.

So, can the public attend The Block 2025 auctions? Read on to find out.

Will The Block fans be able to watch the auctions in person?

Unfortunately not. The auctions are invite-only, and only those on the list will be able to attend the event. The crowd will include a mix of registered bidders, professional buyer’s agents, and contestants’ family members.

When and where are the auctions taking place?

The auctions will take place on Saturday at The Block site in Daylesford. So, the attendees and contestants will know who the winner is — and whether the houses sold — then.

However, fans will have to wait until Sunday night to watch the auction action unfold on Channel 9 and 9Now.

How much are The Block 2025 houses selling for?

Each house will be given a reserve ahead of the auctions, and interested buyers will make bids. Whatever the house sells for (if it sells) over the reserve goes in the contestant’s pocket. Plus, the team that makes the biggest profit will also score a $100,000 prize.

The reserves haven’t been revealed yet, and some of the houses boast state-of-the-art amenities that they’ve earned through challenge wins, such as Mat and Robby’s pickleball court and Britt and Taz’s smart kitchen appliances.

However, despite the extras, Emma told Chattr that she believes all the reserve prices will be the same.

“It might be a different story this week when we find out the auction reserve,” Emma said. “But, so far, we’ve been told that all the reserves are the same because they go off the original floor plan of the house design.”
