A limited number of tickets remain for Richmond’s practice match against Essendon at the ME Bank Centre on Friday, March 7.
The game, scheduled for 1pm, is fully ticketed due to a reduced capacity at the ground, with works being completed on the interface around Punt Road Oval.
Tickets are available at Ticketmaster, at $15 for adults and $2.50 for kids, with a portion of the proceeds going to Richmond’s preferred charity partner, The Alannah and Madeline Foundation.
All tickets for the match are standing tickets only, there is no seating available due to the current redevelopment work around the ground. As the match will be sold out, there will not be any tickets available to purchase on the day.
The match will also be streamed live on Richmond’s website.

“I’m really excited about it,” Deledio said on Triple M’s “Hot Breakfast”.
“The Club has spent a lot of money to get it up and going.
“To be able to have our fans come to the home of where we train, and where we have so much history, it’s fantastic.
“I know as much as I am, all the other boys are looking forward to it as well.”
