For select blockbuster AFL matches at the MCG, the Glasshouse Post Match Hospitality Package is designed as a premium after-the-siren experience, including premium reserved match tickets and an exclusive post-match function just metres from the stadium. Located in the state-of-the-art Glasshouse venue adjacent to the MCG, it offers a seamless way to enjoy the game first, then retreat to comfort once the crowds build.
You and your guests will meet at the MCG prior to the match and take your premium reserved seating to enjoy all the on-field action.
