The complimentary tickets handed on Tuesday were for the venue’s northern grandstand, which overlooks the Great Southern Stand, which will be renamed after Warne, according to a Melbourne Cricket Club official, although other portions of the pitch will be made available after it reaches capacity.
Tickets for general admission are available for free on Ticketek, and there is no handling fee. Family, friends, dignitaries, and invited guests will be given priority seating.
