Anzac Day - all tickets sold out

Apr 20, 2011

All remaining public tickets for Anzac Day at the MCG, including restricted view and standing room tickets have SOLD OUT.

There will be no further public tickets released for this match.

------------------------------

I have a standing room ticket, how early do I need to arrive at the ground so I can see the match?
It is in your best interest to arrive as early as possible to guarantee a position in the front. Public gates open at 12.30pm.

Can I bring a stool/walking stool on wheels/cushion/portable chair to sit on while I am in the standing room bay?
No, you cannot bring these items.

What will my view of the ground be like with a restricted view ticket?
It depends on where your ticket is. However, most restricted view tickets allow for a majority of the playing surface to be seen and a scoreboard.
