The 2021 season is almost here, and we can’t wait to be playing in front of the red and black faithful on home turf again.

Membership means more in 2021; it is not only your opportunity to support the Mighty Bombers as we embark on what promises to be an exciting season, but also your ticket to the game.

With capped crowd capacities at Marvel Stadium and the MCG, members will be given the first, and in some cases the only opportunity, to redeem tickets.

Members will receive an email on Thursday evening (March 11) with all the information needed to redeem tickets, including their unique member barcode. Members are encouraged to update their details online here.

Tickets will be made available to club members on Tuesday, March 16.

Below is the on-sale schedule.

- From 1pm: Priority 1 (High Mark and Silver reserved seat members)
- From 3pm: Priority 2 (Bronze reserved seat members)
- From 5pm: Priority 3 (General admission access members, including all Flexi members, and AFL members with Essendon club support*)

*AFL members will have access to tickets into the AFL Reserve through AFL Membership. AFL Membership will provide further details once confirmed.

Member cards will not provide access to scan into Marvel Stadium. Members are required to redeem a ticket via Ticketmaster and be allocated a seat in adherence with social distancing requirements. The club will do everything possible to provide members access to seats that are as close as possible to their reserved seats, and in line with their membership type.

If you require accessible seating, please click here for details.

Answers to your questions can be found in our FAQ here.

A step-by step-guide to the ticket redemption process can be found here.

If any tickets remain available after the competing club member on-sales, they will be made available for the general public to purchase from 1pm on Wednesday, March 17.
