2024/25 cricket season arrangements for members of reciprocal clubs of the MCC

Overseas reciprocal member access

Members of overseas reciprocal clubs are eligible for a reserved seat for themselves ($12) and the option to purchase up to four (4) visitor tickets, excluding Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test which is limited to two (2) visitor tickets. Only Full members of affiliated reciprocal clubs on a short-term visit to Australia will have entry entitlements.

Members must provide their Full membership card, a Letter of Introduction from their club, as well as identification confirming their residency outside Australia before any reciprocal access or sale of visitor tickets will proceed.

Members of overseas reciprocal clubs have the same access and guest privileges as MCC Full members.

Interstate reciprocal member access

Members of interstate reciprocal clubs/venues are eligible to purchase a visitors ticket for themselves and have the option to purchase up to two (2) additional visitor tickets for guests. Associate, guest and corporate memberships have no access rights. Please note that if you hold multiple membership cards that only one card can be used for reciprocal rights.

Members only have access to ticketing for days 4 and 5 of the Boxing Day Test, access is available for other matches.

Members must provide their Full membership card as well as identification confirming their residence outside Victoria before any applications will be processed. You are encouraged to pre-purchase your required ticketing to avoid disappointment on the day.

Domestic member access

VRC and MRC members will have access to purchase a reserved seat for themselves and up to a further two (2) visitor tickets for all cricket matches, excluding Days 1 to 3 of the Boxing Day Test.

Dress Standards and Dining Facilities

The minimum dress standard in the Members' Reserve is neat casual. Members and their guests who identify as male and are aged 15 years and over must wear a collared shirt, even if worn under a collared sweater or jacket, at all times in the Reserve. This continues to be the major reason for male members and guests being denied admission. For further details on Melbourne Cricket Club dress standards, click here.

Dining facilities on level 1 include the Trumble Bar & Café, Tower 6 (pizzas) and Stumps Tavern (Tapas). Light snack meals are available in a range of other dining and bar facilities throughout the Reserve. Please note, dining options and opening times may differ per match day.

How to purchase tickets

We highly recommend tickets are purchased in advance tickets to avoid disappointment.

Members of overseas and interstate reciprocal clubs/venues can complete the online application form at the bottom of this page. Once your application has been accepted, you will receive an email within two business days with a link to complete payment for your tickets (if applicable). Once finalised your digital ticket(s) for the Members’ Reserve will be sent to you by Ticketek. Your seat(s) will be processed on a best available basis. Tickets may be available to purchase on the day from Membership Services located to the left of Gate 2 at the MCG.

Members of domestic reciprocal clubs can purchase their tickets into the MCC Reserve via Ticketek using their membership barcode. Tickets may be available to purchase on the day from the ticket windows located to the right of Gate 2 at the MCG.
