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.
Information regarding the availability of general admission or walk-up access for upcoming matches will be published on membership.collingwoodfc.com.au at the beginning of each week once confirmed by the relevant venue.
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.
