Need to Know - Reserved Seat Members

Your membership barcode is a 12-digit number used for match access, redeeming or upgrading tickets, and for finals access.

You can find your barcode number(s) on the back of your 2025 Member Card. If you do not have your card, you can also find your barcode by logging in here.

ANZAC Day in 2025 is Essendon's Away Game. This means that our Reserved Seat Members MUST upgrade to a seat in the member pre sale to access the game.

Upgrade prices will be published online once confirmed.

If you need your member barcode, you can find it on the back of your 2025 member card, or by contacting the club.

For ANZAC Day, you are able to purchase three additional tickets per member barcode, however, there is an overall transaction limit of 8.

On-sale dates at times will be advertised on the club website and communicated to members via email once confirmed.

Unfortunately not. It is highly likely that the seats around you are held by other reserved seat members for the season so there is no opportunity to purchase guest seats from game to game.

Memberships are transferable however, so if you are likely to bring different guests to matches across the season we recommend you purchase an additional reserved seat membership so we can ensure you are allocated the number of seats you require.

If you are a current Reserved Seat member, you will already have a seat allocated. If you wish to change your seat, please speak to our Member Services team and they will be able to discuss your options.

If you are wanting to sign up to our Reserved Seat packages for the 2025 season, you will need to join our 2025 waitlist. To join the waitlist, please give our friendly Member Services team a call on (03) 8340 2000 to lock in your spot and discuss options in more detail.

Absolutely. During the membership renewal period, you will be able to retain your existing reserved seat(s) by ensuring you renew ahead of the cut-off date.

We will always provide advanced notice of the impending cut-off date via both email and SMS, but if you have any concerns or need more time before you can commit again for the following season, please don’t hesitate to let us know, and we will do everything possible to assist.

Due to reaching capacity with our Reserved Seat memberships, if you wish to change seats, you are required to have a reserved seat request.

If you are looking to move seats prior to the cut-off date, please let us know so we can record your request. We won’t make any changes until members have had the opportunity to renew again for the following season, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to register.

All seat requests will be assessed after the seat cut-off date and then again at the conclusion of the 2025 season.

Lastly, we prioritise requests for seat moves based on member tenure and in order of requests received, so while we will do everything possible, a request is not a guarantee.

No problem! Please send us an email (membership@essendonfc.com.au) or give us a call (03 8340 2000) and we will do our best to accommodate your request. Most requests will be placed on the reserved seat request list and will be fulfilled based on availability.

Yes, you can. If you do not wish to renew your reserved seat but would like a family member or friend to take it moving forward, get in contact with Member Services and we can arrange that for you.

If you wish to only transfer your seat to another person for a single match only, there is a seat transfer feature available through your Essendon FC account, or your mobile membership card on the Essendon FC app. There is a cut-off prior to each game that a transfer must be completed by which will be communicated via email during the season.

Sure, although we’ll miss you during the year! You can put your membership on hold and we’ll reserve your seats for next year for one year only. There is a fee associated with doing this, so please give Member Services a call on (03) 8340 2000 to organise this for you.
