The essential information for away access members to redeem their $0 General Reserved ticket to the blockbuster clash against Richmond at the MCG.

Western Bulldogs members with an away access will be eligible to redeem a $0 General Reserved ticket to the Club’s blockbuster Friday night (7:50pm, 30 April) clash with Richmond at the MCG.

The away club member on-sale period will be via Ticketek, and members won’t be charged a booking fee upon redemption of tickets.

As part of an enhanced effort to support contract tracing, a name and mobile number must be supplied for every ticket that is purchased or redeemed. For juniors and dependents without a mobile phone, a parent or guardian may supply their number instead.

Below is the essential information you’ll need to redeem your ticket as part of Wednesday (28 April) morning’s away member priority on-sale window (10am-12pm), via Ticketek.

1. Your away member barcode
You will require your AWAY member barcode to redeem your $0 General Reserved ticket for Friday’s match.  This is different to your home membership card barcode which you would have used to redeem tickets for our recent home games at Marvel Stadium against West Coast (Round 2) and Gold Coast (Round 5).

An email will be sent to all away access members on Monday (26 April) afternoon containing this. If you did not receive this by Tuesday morning, please email membership@westernbulldogs.com.au with your correct email address using the subject line ‘Please update my email’.

Members can check their individual barcodes themselves too via their MyBulldogs account here.

2. Away club member on-sale window

Western Bulldogs members with away access can redeem their $0 General Reserved ticket between 10am and 12pm on Wednesday 28 April via Ticketek. 

REDEEM TICKET | Bookmark this link to the Ticketek purchase page for the match.  

After this time, any remaining tickets will be opened to the general public for purchase from 1pm, Wednesday 28 April.  Subject to availability, away access members yet to redeem a ticket will have a secondary opportunity to access tickets at this time too.

3. Select your seat
Upon entering the Ticketek website via the link above, there are two ways to select a seat. 

• To redeem a $0 ticket, members must select section ‘General Reserved’ and choose a seat(s), subject to capacity.
• Select 'Best Available' - you will be allocated the best available seat(s) subject to capacity, with the option to pay an upgrade fee to access them.

Members wishing to upgrade to sit in a more premium seat can do so by paying an upgrade fee.  The pricing for these upgrades is outlined below.

Once all General Reserved tickets are exhausted, away members looking to redeem a ticket will be required to pay to upgrade into a more premium seating category.

Members will not be charged a booking fee upon redemption of tickets.

4. Tickets will be on-sale via Ticketek
Tickets for this away match at the MCG are available via Ticketek. This is a different ticketing agent to Marvel Stadium matches.  If you don’t already have a Ticketek account, we recommend you set one up now.  If you do have a Ticketek account, be sure to login and check that all your details are correct.  It’s better to reset your password now than have trouble logging in on the day.

5. Booking tickets to sit with family and friends

You will be able to book up to six (6) tickets in one transaction. If you plan to book tickets for multiple family members in the one transaction, or to secure seats with friends, you will need to submit each individual away member barcode as part of the booking process.  There will be no guest passes available.  You will need away member barcode for every ticket you look to redeem.
Members can check their individual barcodes via their MyBulldogs account here.

6. Digital ticketing only, member cards won’t get you access

Unlike previous seasons, AFL matches in 2021 will be fully ticketed and fully digital. To access the MCG you will need to use the digital ticket issued to you by Ticketek.  Members will not be able to scan in to games using their membership card due to contact tracing and social distancing restrictions. Ensure you save your tickets on your phone so you’re ready for match day.

7. Accessible ticketing

Patrons requiring accessible seating will have the option to call Ticketek’s MCG hotline 1300 665 915 or complete the form on Ticketek’s website.

The Ticketek Accessible Bookings team are available 9am–5pm (AEST), five days a week.  For more information on accessible seating at the MCG please click here.
