State Memorial Service – Mr Shane Warne


A State Memorial Service to honour former Australian test cricketer Mr Shane Warne will be held at 7pm on Wednesday 30 March at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Mr Warne didn't just inspire a cricketing generation – he defined it. Born for the big occasion, he gave us irreplaceable MCG memories: the Ashes hat trick, his 700th wicket and calming Bay 13 in his trackies. Mr Warne’s performance on the pitch drew us to the game that he cared so deeply for.

The State Memorial Service will be an opportunity for Victorians to pay tribute to Mr Warne’s contribution to his sport, to our state and the country.

Tickets to the State Memorial Service will be available from 3pm today, Tuesday March 22.

Seating and tickets

The State Memorial Service will be free to attend.

Seating will be reserved at the Service for family, friends, dignitaries and invited guests.

Tickets for members of the public will be available from 3pm on Tuesday 22 March via Ticketek.
