From the 2023/24 membership season, a new 50-Year Social membership option will be available to members who no longer wish to retain full access rights to attend event days at the MCG, but would like to remain a member of the Club.
The 50-Year Social membership will include the following benefits:- Ability to purchase one entry entitlement (at the visitor ticket price) to validate their membership card and one visitor ticket to enjoy the Members’ Reserve and 50-Year member facilities on up to four event days per membership season – excluding Category 1 event days and AFL Finals Series
- Access to 50-Year Annual Luncheon and other member functions as determined
- Ability to be a member of the Club’s Special Interest Groups
- Ability to propose or second candidates to the Club’s waiting list
- Access to Club communications and email newsletters
- A 20% discount on entry tickets to the Australian Sports Museum
- Complimentary MCG Tours
- Participation in the MCC Plus program
- Access to special events as determined
The 50-Year Social membership does not include:
- Full access rights to the Members’ Reserve.
- The ability to maintain the entitlement to purchase an Annual Guest Card for those members eligible.
- Voting rights at Annual and Special General Meetings. However, members from all categories of membership are able to attend.
- Eligibility for geographical classifications, resulting in the subscription fee being the same amount for all members in the category.
- Reciprocal club arrangements intrastate, interstate or overseas.
While this new category will no longer provide you with full access to events at the MCG, you will still be able to enjoy many of the benefits that come with being a member of the Melbourne Cricket Club.
