Ticketing VISITOR TICKETS MCC visitor tickets went on sale on Wednesday February 28 (for rounds 1-22) and will go on sale on Wednesday August 8 at 9.00am for Round 23 matches. For Full and Restricted members there is a limit of four visitor tickets per member for all matches except Anzac Day, when the maximum is two. See facing page for Provisional member entitlements. Members are strongly encouraged to purchase their visitor ticket requirements in advance. Children aged 6-14 are admitted free to all Sunday matches, as well as the Round 15 Carlton v Port Adelaide match and all Round 23 matches. However, members will still be required to either obtain a nil-value, barcoded ticket for each child through Ticketek (normal transaction fees still apply) from our membership services staff in advance or on the day of the match. These tickets will still form part of a member s allowed visitor ticket allocation. For all other matches children aged 6-14 will require a visitor ticket purchased at the relevant price to enter the Reserve. Children under the age of six are admitted free of charge, and do not require a ticket. LEGEND RE-SELLING OF VISITOR TICKETS Members should be aware that the re-sale of visitor tickets to any event through public forums is strictly prohibited. Any member found to be in breach of club rules in this respect can expect to face disciplinary action. We seek your co-operation in this matter. RESERVED SEATS Subject to availability and match classification, members are able to purchase a reserved seat for themselves and their guests. There are up to 9000 reserved seats available to members.

Reserved seats will also be free of charge for companions accompanying members and guests who hold a Companion Card and have purchased their own reserved seat.

As a general rule, 50-year members may introduce one guest on match day, with the exception of some blockbuster matches. GUEST CARDS A guest card (only available to members elected prior to 1986) is a transferable guest pass that allows the bearer access to the Members Reserve for all match days in which members are able to attend. A guest card provides the same access rights as a visitor who has a daily visitor ticket. Therefore, guest cardholders do not have access to the Long Room, Frank Grey Smith Bar or Balcony seating, except when a member has obtained the relevant pass for them. Guest cardholders are entitled to purchase one reserved seat per match for each eligible guest card barcode.

Contact details are available on the club website. MISUSE OF MEMBERSHIP CARD Membership cards are for personal use only and are strictly non-transferable under any circumstances. It is the member s responsibility to ensure that their card is secure at all times so it cannot be borrowed by anyone else. Misuse of membership cards may result in the suspension or expulsion of a member. Regular random checks of photo ID membership cards will be undertaken at the turnstiles and throughout the Reserve. LOST OR STOLEN MEMBERSHIP CARDS If you lose, damage or have your membership card stolen, please notify the club as soon as possible so that unauthorised use can be prevented. Unless you provide a police report of the theft of your card, a $25 fee is payable to have the card replaced.
