Need to talk to our Membership Team?

Due to the high volume of phone calls and emails the team are getting at the moment, we'd recommend getting to the game early and visiting our Membership Team at the Club Hub opposite Gate 2 to get assistance before the game. We will also have staff located at Gate 7 on match day.

Get there early

Have your mobile ticket ready.

Everyone will have a designated gate and entry on ticket but getting to the venue early will mean you have plenty of time to get organised/find the spot for entry.

You can only enter via the Gate noted on your ticket. Once inside the venue, scan the QR code and check in on the way to your seat.

All attendees will need to provide proof of double COVID-19 vaccination and check-in upon entry.

Cultural Gift Exchange

Ahead of every game this season an Indigenous player will join captain Jack Steele at every coin toss to take part in a cultural gift exchange. Championed by newly appointed Indigenous Development Manager Aunty Katrina Amon, the move is designed to continue to embrace Indigenous culture within the club.

You can learn more about the new tradition here.

Sponsorship Activations

Our match day partner this Saturday is VRGF, who are now fully in the swing of celebrating Love the Game Month! Look out for the 'Love Cam' on the big screen at quarter-time, as well as giveaways and player badge making on the concourse.

AGL Dance Cam is back and Powered up! Be in your seat before the second half kicks off and if your bay is selected you'll have the chance to win! Thanks to our Club energy partner AGL.

- The concourse might look a little different on the city side of the stadium, with some hoarding in place around Gate 2 and Gate 5.

- Once you enter the stadium there is no change to the experience, you are free to move around, visit the food and beverage outlets, or any of the amenities.

ST KILDA have come away with a steely 10-point win against Geelong at Marvel Stadium, its first over the Cats since 2016.

A seven-goal third term proved to be the difference, and while the Cats got as close as three points in the last, two clutch Paddy Ryder goals steered the Saints to the 13.12 (90) to 11.14 (80) result.

While the opening half between the two top-eight teams had been oddly lacklustre, the second delivered in spades.

St Kilda had never been too far away in the first two quarters, but had struggled to find the class to deliver well inside 50, and though Geelong moved the ball with a lot more freedom, it probably didn't capitalise quite enough on its efforts.

Things looked like turning after the main break when Tim Membrey opened the Saints’ account, but two quick goals to the Cats – the second for both Zach Tuohy and Tom Hawkins – saw the margin jump out to a then game-high 21 points.

But where last year's St Kilda side may have folded in a heap, this new edition steeled itself, kicking six straight goals, including a beautiful piece of ruck work from Ryder and connection with Jack Billings to take the lead for the first time.

The veteran ruck produced a memorable performance (22 hitouts, three goals), proving too tall and strong when resting in attack for Jake Kolodjashnij, with Mark Blicavs instead playing on the wing.

St Kilda had suffered a double blow halfway through the second quarter, losing Jack Higgins (concussion) and skipper Jack Steele (shoulder) in the space of a few minutes, but the latter returned after half-time, spending more time forward.

Brad Crouch had 19 disposals to half-time and finished with 36 and seven tackles for the match, while Jade Gresham (30, nine clearances) was instrumental in the second-half turnaround and Jack Sinclair (nearly 600m gained) provided plenty of bounce off half-back.
