MEMBERSHIP INFO

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.

Our member services team will be located in the guest services hub opposite Gate 1 (next to Quest Serviced Apartments) and in two dedicated ticket boxes at Gate 7 for all your membership enquiries.

The Victory Room is the place to be before, during and after the game for all EFC members. Dustin Fletcher will be on-hand for a Q&A before the game and we have an extra special raffle prize this week - a Zach Merrett-signed bike - as used on the players' pre-season camp. Make sure you get your tickets before the draw at half-time. Simply show your mobile membership card, physical member card or 150-year medallion to enter the room.

Our High Mark members can access the Danvers Room located outside Level 2 Aisle 28 before and throughout the game, with food and beverages available for purchase.

A big crowd is expected for Saturday night, so general admission scan-ins will be limited. Be there early to grab your seat, or upgrade in advance to ensure you have your spot Saturday night. If the general admission area is full, standing room will be made available on Level 1.

A reminder for our general admission members, please disregard the 'Section, Row and Seat' information displayed at the top of your ticket, this is only information used to provide you access to general admission areas, not a specific seat.

Not getting to the game on Saturday night? 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.
