    A little hard to find as shopping centre doesn’t have a very good map system 
  • Trang12 days ago in Melbourne Cricket Ground
    Easy-to-find location, simple and quick procedures. The staff were friendly and cheerful, and proactively offered to carry my luggage up the stairs. Note that the entrance has some steps up and down, so if you have a lot of luggage or large suitcases it may be a bit inconvenient.

  • Emma1 year ago in Melbourne Cricket Ground
    Location was perfect for us! About a 10 min walk from Southern Cross Station. Staff were lovely and friendly and knew exactly what to do! Would highly recommend! 
  • Stephanie2 years ago in Melbourne Cricket Ground
    It was a super smooth process and I felt confident that my bag was well looked after as the shop was very small and he stashed it under the closed counter so it wasn't even visible to anyone but him. He remembered me when I returned and gave me my bag right away. If I get tickets to another show in the area I will definitely use this place again 😊

    Perfectly located by the train station, toilets and food court.
  • Bron3 years ago in Melbourne Cricket Ground
    So easy and close to Southern Cross Station - just across the road basically. Friendly staff, and the process was easy. Having the insurance was extra reassuring too. Would definitely use Stasher again, definitely recommend. 10/10
  • Megan 6 years ago in Melbourne Cricket Ground
    Knowing that I was going to be spending the whole day in Melbourne, the last thing I wanted was to be carting my luggage around everywhere or being restricted on what I could see and do because of my luggage. Having somewhere to store it made it so much easier.

Luggage storage and bag rules at the MCG

The Melbourne Cricket Ground, a multi-purpose stadium that hosts everything from AFL matches to major concerts, sits in East Melbourne.

If you're heading there with a suitcase or anything that won't slide under a seat, the venue runs its own cloaking and luggage storage for visitors during events. Large bags must be checked at the Gate 3 cloaking facilities, where the venue's own staff will hold anything too bulky to take inside.

There's no clear-bag rule at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, but every patron goes through security searches that can include bag inspections, pat-downs, or wanding with metal detectors, so factor in a little extra time at the gates. You can bring your own food and non-alcoholic drinks, as long as they're not in glass or cans, and sealed plastic water bottles up to 1.5 litres are fine.

Alcohol can't be brought in at all. With Stasher, you can store bags from A$2.99 per bag per day at over 10 locations near the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

There's no strict size limit, though prices can vary with bag size. Every booking comes with the Stasher Guarantee, which protects your bags up to A$19,000. Stasher storage near the Melbourne Cricket Ground can be booked through the website or app.

Getting to the MCG with luggage

Jolimont Station is located north of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, a five-minute walk (350m) through Yarra Park to Gate 2. Tram route 70 also gets you there, with stops at Melbourne Park right by the stadium. The ground is bounded by Punt Road, Wellington Parade, and Brunton Avenue, so if you're being dropped off, Clarendon Street near the Pullman Hotel is the designated point for taxis, rideshares, and private vehicles; walking in with a suitcase means going straight to Gate 3 to check it, not to a turnstile.

Nearby attractions after you drop your bags

The National Gallery of Victoria is Australia's oldest and most visited public art museum, with collections spread across NGV International and the Ian Potter Centre.
