Experience the iconic Boxing Day Test and 4th Test in the series at Melbourne Cricket Ground, 26-30 December 2024.
The Boxing Day Test at the MCG is one of Australia’s premier annual events. Held during the holiday period after Christmas Day before New Years Eve, it’s the perfect time to sit back at one of the world’s most incredible cricket grounds and enjoy quality tennis and the lively summer atmosphere. It’s also a crucial Test in the series, one that Australia need to win.
Stay for 3 nights with official Category C tickets to Days 1 and 2, or stay 5 nights with official Category C tickets to Days 1, 2, 3 and 4. Extra nights can be added and the check-in date can be flexible, although we recommend arriving for check-in 25 December to enjoy a free night to get ready for Day 1 action on 26 December but you can check-in 26 December if you have Christmas Day commitments.
