The Bombers will return to the Friday night stage when they face reining premier Melbourne at the MCG.

Ahead of the game, the Essendon membership team has put together its top tips for Dons members to ensure a smooth attendance.

If you're not a member, purchase your ticket here.

  1. Your Mobile Membership via the Essendon App is your ticket to the game. If you haven’t received your commemorative member card for this season yet, they are on the way, but remember they are only a memento and do not provide access to games. All the information you need to access your Mobile Membership can be found here.
  2. For our members with general admission away access, scan-ins are back! On Friday, you can scan straight into the G via gates 1, 3, 4 or 5 and sit in any of the designated general admission areas around the stadium. There will be general admission areas located on Level 1 and Level 4 across the Southern, Olympic and Ponsford Stands, with friendly MCC staff directing you as you enter the gates. Please disregard the “Section, Row and Seat” information displayed at the top of your ticket, this is information used to provide you access to General Admission areas, not a specific seat.
  3. Need a hand at the game? You can find the Essendon member services team at the Essendon marquee located outside gate 3 from 5:00pm.
  4. Not getting to the game on Friday? Not to worry! Although a ticket will show in your mobile membership, you will only use one of your game entitlements if you scan in.
  5. Be there early. The Bombers are back at the 'G and you don’t want to miss a moment, so leave yourself plenty of time to get into the ground and be in your seat before the Bombers run out. Gates open from 5:30pm and remember to check-in via the QR codes provided at each gate and have your vax status ready to display to the MCG staff.
  6. Limited car parking will be available in Yarra Park for this game, with entry via Gate 3 only.
  7. Show your passion with a huge of range of 150-year merchandise available outside gates 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 as well as inside gates 1, 2, 5 and the MCG Shop. And don’t forget, 2022 members receive 10 per cent off all merchandise so there is no better time to grab a guernsey or bag yourself a beanie.
