Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Event-Day Parking at the MCG The MCG’s official car park costs $20 per vehicle when open, with payment by eftpos only (mcg.org.au). Street parking around the venue is very limited (mcg.org.au), so event-day drivers need to account for a potentially short supply of spaces. Yarra Park parking is limited to ADP permit holders and must be pre-purchased through Ticketek, while general public parking cannot be pre-booked (premier.ticketek.com.au). For accessible parking, the nearest option is the Melbourne Eastern Plaza car park for people with disability permits (mcc.org.au). The venue’s official parking information is the useful reference for whether the car park is open for a particular fixture or concert. ## Car Parks Near the MCG Beyond Yarra Park Secure Parking lists event parking for cricket, concerts, AFL and other events at the MCG, with drive-up parking available (secureparking.com.au). [Wilson Parking](https://www.parksy.com/blog/wilson-parking-review-pros-cons-summary-services) also lists professionally managed locations around Melbourne, including options for visitors travelling to the venue (wilsonparking.com.au). Melbourne Park’s Eastern Plaza Car Park is entered from Entrance D on Olympic Boulevard, and the operator strongly recommends pre-booking because drive-up spaces are subject to availability (melbournepark.com.au). This is a practical alternative for drivers who want a named facility rather than relying on limited street parking. Nearby commercial operators publish event-specific arrangements rather than one universal rate for every fixture. Secure Parking’s MCG event service can be contacted on 02 8000 8790 for its event parking information (secureparking.com.au). Show map of East Melbourne ## Parksy Parking Spaces Close to the MCG Parksy lists an outdoor parking lot in East Melbourne, 340 m from the venue, priced at $42.90 an hour. A secure 24/7 outside space in East Melbourne is 350 m away at $58.50 a day, while a covered space in Melbourne CBD is 380 m away at $5 an hour. The closest listed option is a parking lot in Melbourne, 280 m away, priced at $10 a day. For a longer stay, a secure covered space in Melbourne CBD is 440 m away at $30 a day, and a secure parking lot in central Melbourne is also 440 m away at $20 a day. At 280 m to 440 m, these spaces leave a walk of roughly that distance after a match or show, with the 340 m and 350 m listings providing close East Melbourne alternatives. The two 440 m spaces suit drivers prepared for the longest walk among the listed options. ## Street Parking Restrictions Around the Venue Street parking around the MCG is very limited, according to the venue (mcg.org.au). Yarra Park is not a general public pre-booking option: limited event parking is reserved for ADP permit holders who pre-purchase through Ticketek (premier.ticketek.com.au). General public parking is not available to be pre-booked through that arrangement (premier.ticketek.com.au). Access to Yarra Park can change during matches. These arrangements make event-day enforcement and access different from ordinary street parking. ## Train and Walking Access to the MCG Richmond is the nearest station to the MCG, at 630 m from the venue and an 8-minute walk. The station provides the clearest rail option for visitors who want to avoid event-day driving and limited kerbside parking. The venue address is 120 Barassi Way, East Melbourne VIC 3000. From Richmond, the 630 m walk is short enough for most spectators to complete before an event, while returning on foot after a match avoids queues at car-park exits. Public transport is particularly useful when Yarra Park parking is restricted to ADP permit holders or when the official car park is not open. The 8-minute walk from Richmond also gives drivers a straightforward alternative to searching for a street space close to the gates.
