Hi guys -  I’ve just upgraded our Family Membership to Trident, after being on the waitlist. I notice that the package includes things like access to function rooms where players are interviewed before the game. Could any existing Trident member let me know what the process is for this - ie do you need to reserve a table? Thanks!

Pretty sure that is in the Hassett Rooms, not sure about booking tables in there.

No need to book a table.

Most people stand and listen to the guest, they really do get some good talent. Mike and Ralph (The hosts) will look after you if you have any questions

If you get there at gates opening, run up the stairs, you will still be lucky to get a table    how they do it     I don't know😀😃

Mike and Ralph (The hosts) are the only ones I know of that have a reserved table which is against the window opposite the lectern. They sell raffle tickets from there and take Eftpos only these days. If you see a table with a couple of spare seats just ask if they're taken. 

Almost forgot, you will need to show your Premium Member Card to get into the Hassett and Ryder rooms.

Great info - thanks all.

…..and when you rock up to the G with your family…. make some NOISE! 😎👍

Got the upgrade as well. Was a trident member 10 years ago when it was just the Betty cuthbert bar side. - then moved up to qld. Returning last year could only get the demon seats in the southern stand.

Looking forward to hassett/Ryder room pregames this year 😁

In Trident??? They hate noise from my experience.

If @Wodjathefirst gets taken away by the MCG officials or the police for making too much noise in the Tridents seating area, I trust you rest of you will chant "Welease Wodja!".

I'm not a Trident member but I am a Redlegs member and we share the same room, I believe.  It's in the Lindsay Hassett Room on the second level of the Southern Stand.  Ralph and Michael are the long standing premium members who run proceedings in there, you can sit down and have a counter style meal, they have a full bar and barista, and yes, each week they have a guest speaker, such as a coach or a player.

Had the President last year as well and other Board members have spoken there over the years. The Ryder room next door is also for Premium members but is mainly a stand up Bar and just does snacks.

Great information @Katrina Dee Fan and @dworship - thanks heaps.
