TYPES OF MEMBER MATCH ACCESS

Members with Reserved Seat access have a specific allocated seat at the MCG, e.g. Bay M33 Row A Seat 1.

These Members do not need to redeem or upgrade tickets (unless otherwise instructed). They can simply use their physical or mobile membership to access matches where they have Reserved Seat access.

Depending on their membership type, Members may have Reserved Seat access for MCG home games and/or MCG away games. 1892 Members will have Reserved Seat access for Marvel Stadium home & away games.

Please note: Members with Reserved Seat access for MCG away games will be required to redeem a $0 ticket via Ticketek for any MCG away game versus Hawthorn or Richmond. Club 1892 Members will be allocated alternative seats by the Club - no redemption required.

Members with Reserved Bay access are required to redeem a $0 ticket via Ticketek for MCG home games within their allocated reserved bay area, e.g. Bays M10-M13.

During this redemption process, these Members will be able to redeem a specific seat or seats so they know exactly where they'll be seated for a specific match.

Reserved Bay access only ever applies to MCG home games. There are no reserved bays at MCG away games.

Members with General Admission (GA) access are able to access general admission areas of the stadium for games covered by their membership.

These Members can also upgrade their GA access to a discounted reserved seat via Ticketek for MCG games and Ticketmaster for Marvel Stadium games.

Please note: Members may be required to upgrade their GA access in the event of a fully-ticketed match. Please see the FAQ section below for more information.

Home & Away Season Ticketing - FAQ

A 'fully-ticketed' game is one where all patrons must hold a reserved seat, i.e. there is no general admission (GA) access.

Any Home & Away season match may be classed as fully-ticketed at the discretion of the home team, stadium, and AFL. This decision is based primarily on ticket sales and member attendance forecasts, and is made to ensure patron safety when large crowds are expected.

If a game is classed as fully-ticketed, the Club will communicate this to Members with GA access at the earliest possible time.

When this happens, Members with GA access to the game in question must upgrade to a discounted reserved seat if they wish to attend.

Our Anzac Day match is the only default fully-ticketed game, but any game could be classed this way.

As general advice, the Club strongly recommends that Members with GA access upgrade to a discounted reserved seat for any blockbuster game, even if that game has not yet been classed as fully-ticketed.

General admission access is always subject to capacity.

Members with general admission (GA) access do not need to upgrade for games that have not been classed as fully-ticketed.

That said, the Club strongly recommends upgrading GA access to a discounted reserved seat for games against large Victorian clubs, as these games tend to become fully-ticketed due to strong ticket sales.

For games that are not fully-ticketed, Members with GA access can simply use their Mobile Membership to access matches without pre-booking. For a guide to using Mobile Memberships, click here. Season ticket Members can also use their physical cards to access non-fully-ticketed games.

The Club will always endeavour to notify our Members when a match is likely to be classed as fully-ticketed, but please not it is not always possible to do so given the nature of ticket sales.

As of Season 2024, there is no more season-long allocated seating at Marvel Stadium.

Legends & Standard Members now have access to redeem a $0 ticket to our two home games and one away game at Marvel Stadium via Ticketmaster.
