Western Bulldogs members will again receive access to two big replacement games for the 2020 AFL season.
With two home games at Mars Stadium in Ballarat – against Gold Coast Suns in Round eight and Port Adelaide in Round 22 – access members unable to utilise their membership for these games will be entitled to access two away games as replacements.
And they’ll will be two big-drawing games in 2020.
Good Friday’s Round 4 clash with North Melbourne will be the first of these, at Marvel Stadium on Friday 10 April at 4.20pm.
The second will be in Round 19 against reigning premiers, Richmond, at the MCG on Sunday 26 July at 1.10pm.
For the first time, the Club is giving Western Bulldogs reserved seat members access to reserved seats within specific bays at its replacement games.
These seats will be allocated on a first in, best dressed basis at no further cost to members.
All other Western Bulldogs members are able to scan their membership card at the gate to access General Admission seating at the replacement games.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WESTERN BULLDOGS REPLACEMENT GAMES:

As a reserved seat member will I be guaranteed a reserved seat?
We only have access to a limited number of reserved seats through our negotiations with the home teams, so reserved seat members aren’t guaranteed a seat.

Will I need to bring my membership card to replacement games?
Members who book a reserved seat will be issued with a reserved seat ticket for that specific game. Members must use this ticket to access the venue instead of their membership card. Once a member is issued with their reserved seat ticket, their membership card will be inactive for that game.
Members who don’t book a reserved seat can still access the game by simply scanning their Western Bulldogs membership card at the turnstiles and accessing a seat in the allocated general admission areas.
Why don’t I have access to my normal reserved seat at Marvel Stadium?
As it is not a Western Bulldogs home game, we are unable to offer the same inventory at replacement games as it is taken by home club members.
Will I be able to sit with the same members that I sit with at home games?
To ensure that members are able to sit with friends/family we recommend booking together. Members will be able to book for themselves as well as friends and family. Please ensure that you have the member IDs and barcodes of each member you are booking for.
I have a friend who is a general admission member. Can I upgrade them into the Western Bulldogs member bays?
Only Western Bulldogs reserved seat members will be able to access the reserved seat member bays. General admission members are entitled to general admission seating at our replacement games and can access the venue by using their membership cards or can upgrade to a reserved seat through the relevant ticketing agent.
How will reserved seats be allocated?
Reserved seats will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis until the allocation has been exhausted.
What if I miss out on a seat in the reserved seat bays?
Members who miss out on a reserved seat can still access the game by simply scanning their Western Bulldogs membership card at the turnstiles and accessing a seat in the allocated general admission areas.
