Membership
With restrictions still in place, members' game day will be a little different this year. We can’t wait to return to normal, and we will, but for now we need to abide by Government rules to ensure we can continue to have fans attend games. We appreciate your understanding.
Member hub
(Outside Gate 5)
To reduce large groups of people gathering, the member hub will not be open this weekend.
The member hub will be back as soon as restrictions allow.
Member choice collection
Under the government’s health guidelines, in order to provide a COVID safe game day, we are currently not allowed to provide member scarf redemptions at the stadium. We will resume game day collections as soon as these guidelines allow.
There are other ways to collect your member choice items:
- Collect from the Roo Shop at Arden Street (Monday – Friday 9am-4pm)
- Redeem your Roo Shop voucher digitally and receive via email
- Select a scarf and we’ll send it out – you’ll only need to pay postage
Member function rooms
Social Club – Victory Room Level 1
The social club is a much-loved space and while it will be back, for the foreseeable future it will not be in operation. With the stadium split up into zones, only those in the same zone as the Victory Room would be able to attend. As these bays are not North Melbourne member seating, members would have been unable to leave their zone to attend the function room.
As soon as restrictions allow, the Social Club will be back and better than ever.
Premiership Club – Parker Room Level 2 - MEMBER FUNCTION
We are thrilled to have the Premiership Club open this weekend and have some special activities planned to celebrate 40,000 members. We have a member function starting at 3.30pm, including FREE donuts, member giveaways and a Q&A with David King at 3.50pm. Members with a Level 2 ticket, between aisles 25 and 47, will be able to enter the Premiership Club room.
Please note that members will need to enter the stadium via the gate listed on your ticket. Once you are at your seat on Level 2, please make your way to the Level 2 Aisle 30 – Gate 6 Hub and take the stairs to Level D. Lifts are also available for accessible and elderly patrons.
Once on Level D please enter the Premiership Club Room. You will need to give your member ID to the North Melbourne staff on the door to receive a wristband.
Once you receive your wristband, you will be able to enter and exit the rooms via the glass doors into the seating bowl.
Capacity limits will apply so we recommend getting in early. Food and beverage options will be available in the room.
