  • Deal Done on Mcg Grand Final Contract Extension
    Wednesday, 2 September 2020 DEAL DONE ON MCG GRAND FINAL CONTRACT EXTENSION The Victorian Government has agreed to the relocation of the AFL Grand Final from the home of football – the MCG – to Brisbane for one year, with that year to be added to the MCG’s decades-long Grand Final contract. The 2020 AFL Grand Final will be played at the Gabba on Saturday, 24 October with the AFL agreeing to schedule a start time that does not clash with the 100th running of the WS Cox Plate at Moonee Valley. The coronavirus pandemic means it is impossible to plan with certainty for an event to be held with crowds in Melbourne in late October. Accepting this situation, the Victorian Government acted to ensure that football’s greatest spectacle would not be denied a crowd while delivering more guaranteed games for Victorian supporters. Confirmation of the Grand Final date also means that the Government can lock in the popular AFL Grand Final eve public holiday for Friday, 23 October – a “Thank You Day” for Victorians who have made so many sacrifices as part of the community effort to contain the spread of coronavirus. The MCG first hosted the Grand Final in 1902 and under the terms of the new agreement between the Government and the AFL confirmed last night, the match will be played at the ground until at least 2058 – a one-year extension on the existing contract. In addition, the MCG has been guaranteed an extra two contracted games in each of the 2022 and 2023 seasons, taking the minimum number of AFL games at the ground in each year to 45.

  • Afl Ticket Scheme Proposal
    2020 AFL TICKET SCHEME PREAMBLE The AFL Premiership Season and Finals Series attracts over 6.8 million attendees across stadia across the country, making it the most-attended sport in Australia. The 2019 AFL Finals Series drew crowds of over 500,000 patrons across various venues across the country, including a crowd of over 100,000 for the AFL Grand Final. The AFL Grand Final is recognised as Australia’s most prestigious single sporting event, attracting thousands of visitors to Melbourne each year and driving millions of dollars benefit to the local economy. The demand for AFL Grand Final tickets always outstrips supply and tickets to this event are some of the most sought after in Australian sport. The AFL Finals Series and AFL Grand Final are both very important parts of the football season for all AFL Clubs, regardless of whether they have qualified for the AFL Finals Series or the AFL Grand Final. The AFL believes that, given all Clubs play an active role in shaping the AFL Final Series, they should be given the opportunity to participate and with this in mind the AFL makes available AFL Grand Final tickets to all of them. The AFL’s fundamental role is to act as a collective for its Clubs and, after meeting the costs of running the AFL competition, AFL makes annual distributions to our clubs and annual grants to the various state bodies for the development of grass roots football. AFL’s capacity to continue to support the clubs and grass roots football in a financial sense is inextricably linked to key revenue streams and specifically the AFL Grand Final.

  • Melbourne Cricket Ground Trust
    MELBOURNE CRICKET GROUND TRUST ANNUAL REPORT 2020/21 Terminology The Melbourne Cricket Ground Act 2009 refers to “members” being appointed to the Melbourne Cricket Ground Trust under section 7(a) or section 7(b). However, in the broader context of the MCG, the term “member” has a very clear common usage – it refers to members of the Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC). To ensure that there is no confusion in this report, the term “Trustee” is used to refer to the people appointed by the Governor in Council from time to time as members of the Trust. Chairman’s Report This time last year l wrote about the uncertainty that lay ahead as our community navigated its way through the global pandemic. Whilst we’re all hopeful that we are through the worst impacts of the pandemic here in Australia, it is clear that we have not seen the end of it. As l write, we are nearing the end of the fourth period of lockdown in Melbourne. All facets of our daily life have been affected by Coronavirus (COVID-19) – in our homes, at our workplaces, at our schools and in our sporting and entertainment activities. For us all here at the MCG, we have seen this magical arena - this place famous for intensely competitive sport and for inescapable excitement but also a place where we experience moments of quiet remembrance (think ANZAC Eve and ANZAC Day pre-game ceremonies) and moments of heartfelt reflection and hopeful reconciliation (think Dreamtime atThe ‘G and the Reconciliation round) – this magical MCG has been vacant, still, silent for so much of 2020 and again for periods in 2021.
