*Parking alert: Car parking access to Yarra Park via Gate 7 is restricted to disability and accredited permit holders from two hours prior to match start.
The Melbourne Cricket Club is excited to welcome you back into the Members’ Reserve for the 2021 AFL Premiership Season.
As we operate under our Victorian Government endorsed COVIDSafe Event Plan, your visit to the Members’ Reserve may look different this AFL season.
Please note, members must pre-book a ticket to games of the 2021 AFL Premiership Season they wish to attend. There will be no walk-up opportunity for members.
For the ANZAC Day Collingwood v Essendon match, ticketing for all visitors and Provisional members has now been exhausted. A limited number of seats remain for Full and Restricted members only.
With limited tickets remaining to the ANZAC Day Eve Melbourne v Richmond match, this now means Provisional members will be entitled to secure a ticket for themselves and purchase up to two visitor tickets from 3.00pm AEST today via Ticketek, subject to availability.
This follows the additional allocation of tickets that were made available to Full and Restricted members from 1.00pm AEST today.
Full and Restricted members continue to be able to secure tickets until the Members' Reserve allocation is exhausted.
The pre-game ceremony will commence at 6:45pm, with all members and patrons encouraged to be in their seats at that time.
The arena lights will be dimmed, with the ceremony to include a performance by the Australian Army Band followed by the traditional lighting of the cauldron.
Members' dining arrangements
Registrations for dining in the Members Dining Room, Jim Stynes Grill and Hugh Trumble Cafe can be made between 9.00am and 5.00pm on Tuesday April 20. Applicants will be notified of the outcome of the ballot on Wednesday April 21.
Ticketing arrangements for MCC current and ex-servicemen and women
MCC Full, Restricted and Provisional members who are returned service people may obtain tickets to one of the two ANZAC matches.
*Please note, if you wish to sit with, or be included in a larger group for either match you will need to book tickets via Ticketek when they go on sale on Monday April 19 at 9am. The tickets that will be available from Tuesday April 20 at 10am will be for MCC Serving and Ex-Servicemen and Women only, with their one guest.
Please note: Car parking in Yarra Park will be very limited for this match, with parking expected to reach capacity prior to match start. We recommend that you check the MCG website and app for live updates and plan to arrive at least 90 minutes prior to match start.
