MCG Tours and the Australian Sports Museum: Combined Ticket $50, No Parking at the MCG, WARNE Exhibition to March 2027 (VIC)

The Melbourne Cricket Ground has no parking for visitors to the Australian Sports Museum, according to the museum’s own Getting Here page. The tours and the museum are inside Gate 3, and the nearest stations are Jolimont, 400m away, and Richmond, 900m away. This guide sets out the ticket prices the Australian Sports Museum and MCG Tours publish as of 9 November 2026, its directions and its accessibility services, and what it says about the WARNE exhibition, which runs until March 2027.

What happens on a tour, and when do they run?

The MCG Tours page describes a 75 minute guided tour behind the scenes at the MCG, led by MCC volunteers. The highlights it lists are the MCC Long Room, the MCC Library founded in 1873, the player change rooms, the Shrine to Test Cricket, a walk along the boundary line, the Ron Casey Media Centre and the Ponsford Stand. It notes that the tour route is subject to availability.

Bookings are essential. Tours depart regularly between 10:00am and 3:00pm from Gate 3, but they only operate on select event days and may have varied opening hours. The Opening Hours page directs visitors to a calendar for specific dates, and the calendar is not part of the page text we read.

What is the WARNE exhibition?

WARNE: Treasures of a Legend is a special exhibition about Shane Warne, which the museum says was extended due to popular demand and is open until March 2027. It is open daily from 10:00am to 5:00pm, and viewing it requires a general admission ticket to the Australian Sports Museum. The page lists the “Gatting Ball”, his 1999 Cricket World Cup winners medal, worn Test match shirts and boots, his floppy white hat and the ball he bowled to take his 700th Test wicket in 2006. School and group bookings do not include access to the exhibition, because of capacity limits, and the video in the exhibition plays with no audio, captions only, during Relaxed Hours.

The Match Day page says the museum features over 95 different sports and names a Shane Warne hologram and the 1956 Olympic Cauldron among the things to see inside the museum.

How much is the museum on a match day?

The museum says it is open for visitors attending matches and events at the MCG, with a special offer for match ticketholders to save on entry before the game.

Ticket type	Australian Sports Museum on match days
Adult	$20
Concession	$14
Child (5 to 15 years)	$9
Family (2 adults and 2 children)	$46.50
Family, additional child	$6

These tickets can be bought as an add-on through Ticketek or at the counter inside Gate 3 on match day. For AFL matches, the museum opens at the same time as the public gate opening for the match and closes 15 minutes before the match start time. For cricket it has varied opening hours on match days.
