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.

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.

Ticketing update

Update - 4.00pm, Friday April 23

The Club has been closely monitoring the sales of the additional tickets available in the Members’ Reserve to the ANZAC Day Eve and ANZAC Day matches at the MCG.

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.
