Visiting the MCC Reserve for the 2023/24 cricket season

All MCG match days have been categorised according to their expected demand from members and their guests to attend the Members' Reserve.

Full and Restricted members will have access to all match days for the 2023/24 cricket season.

For a small number of match days when the attendance of Full and Restricted members and their guests is forecast to be high, Provisional members may have limited or no access to the Reserve.

Members booking reserved seats on Level 2 will be limited to the same number of visitors that apply for Balcony passes. Please note that all members and visitors with a Level 2 reserved seat do not require a Long Room or Balcony pass to access their seats, however, a Long Room pass (subject to availability) is required for visitors wishing to access the Long Room.
