Getting here by Train
Before the game, three additional trains will run, departing Waurn Ponds Station at 11.02am, 1.41pm and 2.22pm.
These services will run in addition to regular Geelong line services, which operate approximately every 40 minutes on Saturdays.
After the game, extra services will depart Southern Cross at 8.49pm, 9.00pm and 9.22pm running through to Waurn Ponds.
These are in addition to the regular scheduled trains from Southern Cross to Waurn Ponds at 8.30pm and 9.10pm.
Fans can travel between Southern Cross Station and the MCG on a Metro Trains service to either Jolimont or Richmond stations.
Passengers are encouraged to plan ahead by visiting the footy page of the V/Line website for a full list of service times or use the V/Line journey planner.
Getting here by Trams
Three tram routes provide access to the MCG.
No. 75 (City-Vermont South) travels along Flinders St and connects with the eastern suburbs via Wellington Parade.
No. 48 (Docklands/City-North Balwyn) travels along Collins Street and connects with the eastern suburbs via Wellington Parade. Both these routes stop just outside the MCG.
No. 70 (Docklands/City-Wattle Park) travels along Flinders Street then detours via Melbourne Park and the tram stop is a short walk across the footbridge to the ground.
Getting here by Car
Car parking is usually available at the MCG in Yarra Park on event days. This land is controlled by the Melbourne Cricket Club and managed on event days by Care Park.
Parking costs $10 per vehicle and is payable by eftpos only. Please note that we can no longer accept cash and vehicles unable to pay via card will unfortunately not be allowed entry to Yarra Park. Please note that, in an effort to improve safety in the park, pedestrians are given priority in Yarra Park when exiting MCG events. This is expected to cause a delay to vehicles being able to exit the park.
View latest details about car park opening times.
Occasionally parts of Yarra Park are closed to save the grass after heavy rain. Street parking is very limited.
Parking in high-rise parking buildings in the CBD is another option for MCG visitors.
Accessible Parking
A designated accessible parking area is available in Yarra Park, subject to capacity. Vehicles must display a valid accessible parking permit.
For the Shane Warne Stand and AFL Members Reserve, enter either via Punt Road (Yarra Park Gates 5 or 6) or Brunton Avenue (Yarra Park Gate 7) if you wish to obtain a parking spot as close to the designated entry gate as possible.
MCC members and public patrons heading to the Ponsford Stand, Members Pavilion or Olympic Stand should enter Yarra Park via Wellington Parade South (Yarra Park Gate 3, Wellington Parade South).
