Am I guaranteed entry to Collingwood matches as a 2013 member?
All 2013 Collingwood reserved seat holders have guaranteed entry to matches for which they hold their reserved sears. Members with general admission access only are not guaranteed entry to matches, as this is subject to capacity.
To guarantee entry to matches, we encourage all general admission members to upgrade to a daily reserved seat ticket through the relevant ticketing agent, using the 12-digit barcode on the reverse of their 2013 membership card.
For MCG games, please call Ticketek on 132 849 or visit ticketek.com.au.
