Parking at the G

Not sure if this is already well known or not but I just saw this on Facebook - from round 7 you must pre-book a parking spot if you intend to park in the MCG car park. There will be no more option to drive up and pay at the gate.

On first impression it seems annoying (particularly if booking fees are added on) on the other hand it might be good knowing you won't get up to the gate only for the "Car Park Full" sign to go up meaning you have to try and find another park with the game starting in half an hour.

    Yes but not always a preferred option for those who are elderly, disabled or have young kids - especially for night games.

    I haven't parked at the G for years. Seems like the worst thing in the world to do unless absolutely necessary.

    Finally. It's incredibly annoying driving 1 hour to the game through traffic and then arriving at the car park only to find it full and then having to park 30 minutes away from the ground by foot

    parked at the g for a game against the suns in 2013, we could have had the whole gate 3 parking lot to ourselves :)

    Dees got done by 60 points too.

    I park on the Anderson Street hill and take the chance I won't get a ticket, it's 2-3-hour parking, never got a ticket and I've parked there hundreds of times. It's a 25-30 minute walk but it's really nice walking through the parklands.

    When the kids were younger, and I was too, we used to walk to the ground and if we won run up the hill to get to the car so we could listen to the summary on the radio.

    I noticed an area that a few were using to park their cars on game day, free and unrestricted time.  

    Could also be used for parking close to Gosch's. 

    Access is from Punt road, when driving north, just past the yarra. It's under the freeway.

    I used to park at east richmond station. Have not done so for a few years but never failed to get car park.

    Agree Dr. I don’t go to night games basically because I don’t like travelling home on trains and of course it is freezing. The first game this year I drove to the G. This new restriction  makes my signing up for Kayo look like a great decision. I have I think 6 day games to go to before seasons end. Going to footy is now a special treat. Yes I know a first world problem.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
