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

    Really do admire the commitment of some supporters who travel so far.

    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?

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
