Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some answers to a number of questions that we get asked on a regular basis.

Some games are more expensive than others. Why?

Put simply, its supply and demand. MCG Corporate Boxes come with the same inclusions for each game, irrespective of the price. For example the match between Collingwood and Hawthorn is going to be more popular than a less popular Melbourne team playing an interstate team who may not be performing well. Generally speaking, most Friday night games will be more expensive than weekend games. You can read more about pricing here

I want to book a box. What’s the process?

Once you’ve decided on a box, you need to complete a booking form. The booking form is a binding agreement and no bookings are final until a booking form is received. We will then issue an invoice which is a 7 day account. Payment terms can be negotiated. We accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express (secure online payment via Stripe, 1.9 % admin fees apply), Cheque and EFT. No tickets will be issued until full payment has been received.

I have less than 12 people who want to attend a game. Can we have a box?

The smallest box size is 12. You must pay for all 12 guests. If you have less than 12 guests, we recommend The Nissan Lounge or a dining package instead.
