Access to the Members’ Reserve
The Members’ Reserve has a capacity of almost 23,000 and is where members and their guests gather to witness the great sporting moments at the MCG.
Restricted members can access the Members’ Reserve, including the Long Room and all member-only seating areas, for all MCG football and cricket events (*with the exception of certain matches within the AFL Finals Series – including the AFL Grand Final – and special events such as the ICC Cricket World Cup).
This membership category gives members extensive rights to access members’ dining facilities and the Balcony seating area, as well as to introduce visitors to the Reserve by booking visitor tickets.
Restricted members are entitled to attend meetings of the Club but are unable to vote; nor can they nominate committee or office-bearer candidates, nominate new members or receive privileges at interstate and overseas reciprocal clubs.
