The sale of tickets to AFL Members for the Collingwood-Essendon clash at the MCG on Anzac Day has been put back with final confirmation on a ticket sale date awaiting completion of the redevelopment work.

The State Government has repeatedly assured the AFL the game will go ahead at the MCG as scheduled but the AFL will wait to confirm a ticket sale date once the ground handover has been officially announced.

The AFL will notify AFL members as soon as tickets are available for purchase.

AFL members will have their usual access to this game once this date is ratified.

We acknowledge that some of our members may have already made plans to purchase tickets this weekend and we apologise for any inconvenience to our members.
