The Melbourne Cricket Club is excited to welcome you to 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.

Members' arrangements for this match

Under the COVIDSafe measures announced by the Victorian Government on Wednesday June 23, stadiums in Victoria will be permitted to operate to a maximum of 25,000 patrons at each game of this weekend’s AFL Round 15 matches. The Members’ Reserve capacity will sit at 25 per cent.

As we operate in this reduced capacity environment, please note that the existing match category provisions for members have been temporarily halted for Round 15, with members' access arrangements to be detailed on a match-by-match basis. The members' access arrangements for this match are as follows:

• Full and Restricted members can reserve a ticket for themselves but will be unable to purchase visitor tickets.
• Annual guest card holders can reserve a ticket for themselves.*

*Only Full and Restricted members will be able to access Level 2 seating.
