2023 AFL Finals Series arrangements and guidelines for members of reciprocal clubs of the MCC

Overseas reciprocal member access

Members of overseas reciprocal are eligible for a complimentary entry pass for themselves and the option to purchase visitor tickets (same amount that full members have access to for each match). Only Full members of affiliated reciprocal clubs/venues on a short term visit to Australia will have entry entitlements.

Members of overseas 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.

While access to the Long Room and seating areas on Levels 2 & 3 of the MCC Members' Reserve will be available to members of overseas reciprocal clubs, guests will not be able to access these areas. For guests of reciprocal members to access these facilities, a Long Room or balcony pass can be collected on event day from the Membership Services windows located to the left hand side of the Members' Reserve entrance at Gate 2 of the MCG subject to them being available for MCC members' guests at the time.

Interstate reciprocal member access
