By car:
Predicted bad weather may prevent the MCG public car parks from opening on Sunday. Please CLICK HERE for updated parking schedules and gate opening times.
MCG shuttle service:
An eight-week trial of a shuttle service for mobility-impaired patrons from Richmond Station to the MCG concourse has commenced at the iconic sport stadium.
Three buggies, each capable of transporting five guests, will run the service from at least 60 minutes prior to the first bounce. It will also be available for 30 minutes after the final siren for return trips.
After disembarking a train at Richmond Station, footy fans exiting the platform onto Brunton Avenue need to simply cross to the buggy shuttle area – located on the Yarra Park side of the roadway.
By public transport:
CLICK HERE to plan your trip to the MCG using Melbourne's public transport network.
Please note, rail and road construction projects may impact some public transport services. Visit the PTV website linked above to find out how your journey may be affected.
At the ground:
- Arrive early: Security measures such as wanding and bag checks will have an impact on the time taken to admit patrons to enter the stadium. Please allow extra time and don't leave your arrival until the last minute.
- Be patient: Security inspections take time, so please understand it will take a little longer to move people into the stadium.
- Limit the number of bags you bring: Each bag will be inspected, so the more you bring the longer it will take.
