In 2008, the MCG ticketing agent contract expired and Ticketek was awarded the contract by the MCC.

As such, Essendon members are advised that there will be two ticketing agencies operating in 2009:

· Ticketmaster –Telstra Dome

· Ticketek – MCG

Essendon Football Club is a Ticketmaster Outlet so can sell tickets to any game at the Dome, however we have been given permission from Ticketmaster to sell Essendon Home and Away matches at the MCG (Ticketek) to Essendon Members and AFL members only.

If you are not an Essendon member (or you want to buy tickets to another club's games) you will need to purchase tickets for all MCG matches from your local Ticketek agency (see link below of outlets near you)
