TICKETING: 2024 Opening Round

The SCG is really easy to get to from the CBD on game day. Just hop on a light rail tram in the city and it virtually takes you right to the front door.

Getting back to the city on the other hand after the game.....massive lines to get back onto the light rail. Last year (round 24) I cheated by walking over the bridge and somehow getting a bus on Anzac Parade straight away.

    Isn't the light rail station near by?

    Yes it goes from Circular Quay to Mascot Airport via DCH.

    That’s why I am considering staying at the Airport as after game the light rail will go the other way.

    It’s funny, when I fly to Melbourne for games my wife and I will go out for lunch / dinner at a restaurant then drinks at a pub before the games starts and because we’re staying in the city we have the luxury of the Melbourne tram network. 
     

    When attending the SCG we drive in, the public transport is not as user friendly as Melbourne’s in terms of convenience. No trains to the ground only buses, not sure if the recently upgraded tram network goes there. So we park close by and walk straight to the ground. 
     

    @hardtack or @Sydee may be able to shed some light on this for you.
     

     

    We are staying about a 20 min walk or 7 min Uber drive away from the scg so that’s fine! Just would love to have a few drinks with other Melbourne fans and then head to the ground :)

    We normally park in Crown street Surry Hills and walk from there - there are lots of bars / restaurants around there if you want to dine ahead of the game - not a bad option as the food is ridiculously expensive and generally awful 

    The light rail is a decent option from Central - takes around 20 minutes then short walk to SCG

    FYI, just spoke to the SCG and all MCC members (any category) can purchase reciprocal members tickets (1 member and 1 guest) to this opening round match BUT only from the members ticket booth on the actual day, in person, from 5pm (half an hour before the member gates open). Seems a bit risky booking flights and accom if the members is a sell out on the day.

    Would be interested to know if any MCC members on this forum have purchased reciprocal members tickets to the footy up there recently and if there were any problems? I last used my MCC membership at the SCG almost 30 years ago and the members then was only busy on cricket days, not footy.

    I'm in Sydney at the moment & decided to do a scg tour. That ground has nothing on our G.

    Anyway the goal posts aren't in yet so I asked when they're going in. The guide said probably the day before the game. Nothing like last minute work.

    Probably when I'll get my ticket /barcode to actually enter the ground.

    A number of tickets from our allocation for Opening Round have become available. Whatever tickets we don’t use we have to give back to Sydney. Needless to say we’d rather OUR fans use them. If interested, please email:

    [email protected]

    for the Ticketek link to purchase.

    These tickets are for seats in Bays 2 and 3 in the Bradman Stand.

    Any problems/issues please PM me

    The reciprocal tickets are pretty expensive for the privilege - think it was close to $80 last year when I looked into it?  

    The public tickets are less dear ($45?) and give access to the rest of the stadium, try to sit near bays 2 and 3 which is where the Demon Army is! Or see WCW's post below to sit with us 😁

    We all realise that this game is just a marketing ploy while NRL are in Vegas no points hopefully no injuries

    That's fair. You'd want to make sure there are goal posts first.

    You’re better of buying tickets and getting decent seats, the bay allocated is in the pocket and viewing is restricted as the ground has a massive crown. I sat there rd 24 last year, never again. Was better of watching it at home on tv.

    Seats were fine. Lack of noise from a lot of the Dees group and war we were watching was worse than the view. 
     

    Great job to the cheer squad though!-thanks for fronting up every game!

    Contradictory?

    If you liked the seats I’m happy for you, I’ll never sit there again. I sat behind the goals up high  on the opposite end and had a great view. 
     

    Was it just me or was there a race / tunnel right in front of the  goals at the Park Rd end?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
