Shane Warne memorial tickets

Tickets for Shane Warne's memorial service will be available to members of the public from 3pm on Tuesday, Premier Daniel Andrews has announced. The Victorian government on Tuesday morning released new details for the state service.

The MCG said the memorial service “will feature performances, tributes and reflections from those close to Shane, celebrating his unique charisma and honouring his immeasurable contribution to his sport and to his country”. It is likely that at some point during the memorial service, the ground’s Great Southern Stand will be renamed the Shane Warne Stand; an honour Victorian Sports Minister Martin Pakula offered to the cricketer’s family. The Deputy Premier said the memorial service would be an “incredibly special event” for Warne’s family and the entire Victorian and Australian community. The service will be held in line with COVID-safe requirements. The service will be held at the stadium from 7pm next Wednesday, March 30, with gates opening at 5.30pm. The memorial is expected to go for about two hours. Shane Warne fans have snapped up more than 30,000 tickets to the cricket great’s memorial service in less than three hours, as organisers say more seats at the Melbourne Cricket Ground will be made available as various sections fill up.
