Summary
On 16 July, 2025, the Club wrote to Members who hold a reserved seat for MCG Home games on Level 4 of the Ponsford Stand regarding a change to their Reserved Seat membership for Season 2026.
Over the past few weeks, the Club has been working closely with impacted Members to explore an alternative approach.
In recognition of our Members' loyalty and in response to feedback, we are pleased to provide impacted Members with the following two options ahead of Season 2026:
OPTION A - TRANSITION TO A RESERVED BAY PACKAGE (RECOMMENDED OPTION)
- Access extended seating options across Level 1 (Shane Warne & Olympic Stands) and Level 4 (Ponsford Stand).
- Lock in a price freeze on all impacted memberships for the 2026 AFL season.
- Reserved Bays ensure the Magpie Army is united, loud, and packing the 'G for every game.
--NO ACTION REQUIRED--
OPTION B - RETAIN YOUR CURRENT RESERVED SEAT MEMBERSHIP (ACTION REQUIRED)
- Keep your current Reserved Seat on Level 4 of the Ponsford Stand in 2026.
- Must opt in via link below by 12pm (AEST), Monday 18 August.
- From 2026, no seat moves or new Reserved Seat memberships will be available on Level 4.
IMPACTED MEMBERS: CLICK HERE OPT IN TO RETAIN YOUR RESERVED SEAT
Important Information
If you take no action by 12pm (AEST) on Monday 18 August, 2025, your membership will automatically transition to a Reserved Bay in 2026.
No submissions will be accepted after this deadline has passed.
What's Next
Throughout 2026, Level 4 Reserved Seat memberships will be reviewed with a focus on attendance patterns. Based on the findings, further changes to this area may be introduced.
Thank you!
