The 2013 Summer of cricket has started and this year the MCG is playing host to a great lineup of fixtures against Sri Lanka and the West Indies. There is no better corporate hospitality package to entertain your clients in than a MCG Corporate Suite, also known as a MCG Corporate Box, also referred to as an MCG Corporate Suite at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. With cricket corporate hospitality packages lasting upwards of 8 and half hours in the hottest months of the year, comfort is paramount, and corporate boxes provide it in spades. Large sliding glass windows are able to be opened and closed, keeping everyone comfortable. Drinks are served to your guests to their seats and the corporate boxes feature private bathrooms.
The 2013 Boxing Day Test is shaping up to be a big one, with the in-form Sri Lankans touring Australia. The Boxing Day Test is the 2nd of a 3 series test, with the first game being played at Bellerive and the 3rd at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Prices start at $450pp and can be around $600pp for Day 1. There are one or 2 MCG Corporate Suites still around for Day 1, but you’ll need to be quick.
On Friday 11th January, Australia take on Sri Lanka in a One Day International. Fridays are the perfect day to invite clients to an ODI, with most people being able to slip away from work after lunch around 2pm to enjoy the start of the first innings. Some guests may choose to arrive later in afternoon, to catch the end of the first innings, enjoy a relaxed dinner, and then get settled to watch the second innings.
Twenty20 cricket has seen an explosion in popularity with cricket fans, and it’s no surprise that this popularity has permeated to the business community and corporate hospitality. Some of your clients, even those who are moderately engaged cricket fans, might not find the prospect of spending 8 hours at the cricket all that appealing. Some of your clients might have family commitments that don’t allow them to spend an entire day away from their loved ones. The Australia vs Sri Lanka Twenty20 on Monday 26th January caters to situations such as these perfectly. A 7pm start, a 10.30pm finish, lots of excitement ,an electric atmosphere coupled with the best corporate facility at the MCG will ensure plenty of entertainment and high invitation acceptance rate.
Finally, Sunday 10th February sees Australia play the West Indies in another One Day International. The Windies are coming off a Twenty20 World Cup triumph and will be highly competitive.
