More than three million people visit the MCG each year. There are a variety of ways to reach the famous stadium.
Plan your journey ahead of time and check for public transport disruptions atTransport Victoria.
There are two train stations close to the MCG:
Three tram routes provide access to the MCG:
Bus route 246 links Clifton Hill Station with Elsternwick Station in a useful service for patrons from the northern and southern suburbs. The 246 stops on Punt Road, approximately 600m from the MCG through Yarra Park.
Car parking is extremely limited at the MCG on event days, and the use of public transport is strongly encouraged.
Parking for Australian Disability Parking (ADP) permit holders is available in Yarra Park. Vehicles must display a valid accessibility permit to be permitted entry.
Pre-paid parking will be available via Ticketek.
All parking in Yarra Park is within grassed paddocks and people arriving by car will need to cross the grass, and in some cases garden beds or sand, to connect with the asphalt pathways. While our staff make every effort to park cars as close as possible to the MCG, you may be parked up to 300m away from the concourse.
If you require assistance to get from the car park to the MCG gates, a mobility shuttle is available free of charge during MCG events. Please advise staff on arrival if you require theG-Train Mobility Shuttle Service.
Buses travelling to the MCG can utilise parking space in the Melbourne Park precinct. There is a lift from the Eastern Plaza Car Park to the footbridge.
Please note that MCG staff and theG-Train Mobility Shuttle Service are not permitted to operate in Melbourne Park. Please seek appropriate support prior to your visit.
While bicycles are not permitted to enter the stadium, nor park on the MCG concourse, there are a number of bicycle hoops located next to the stadium in Yarra Park. For major events during the summer, additional bike parking facilities will be available in the western section of Yarra Park, adjacent to the cricket nets outside Gate 1.
Please note: These facilities are not manned by security personnel and it is the responsibility of the cyclist to secure the bicycle before entering the stadium.
Patrons with accessibility needs can arrange to be dropped off by taxi (or a private vehicle with an Australian Disability Parking permit) at the bus turning circle (corner of Jolimont St and Jolimont Tce).
Please note: Vehicles without an Australian Disability Parking (ADP) permit, including pre-booked Ubers, will not be permitted to enter the bus turning circle.
All other patrons and vehicles without an Australian Disability Parking (ADP) permit are advised to use Clarendon St (near the Pullman Hotel) for their taxi, ride share or private vehicle drop off and pick up.
There are three taxi ranks located near the MCG for patrons to use as a safe and efficient way to hail a taxi.
The MCG is well serviced by pedestrian bridges that provide easy access to the stadium from a number of directions.
Brunton Avenue will be closed to through traffic for 90 minutes before the start of an event, and for 60 minutes at the conclusion of an event. This is to allow pedestrians to walk to and from Richmond Station in a safe manner.
The Melbourne Cricket Ground acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners on whose Country this stadium is situated. The site that the MCG sits on and the surrounding parkland has been a meeting place for First Peoples since time immemorial and we are privileged to continue this tradition. We recognise the continuous living culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. We pay our respect to their Elders and to their profound connection to the land, waters and community.
