Booking tips for Evanescence

  • The 150th Anniversary Test (Australia v England) starts at the MCG on 11 March 2027, so the nights after the shows will be in high demand
  • Midweek shows usually mean better rates than weekends
  • If you are seeing both nights, book two nights in one apartment rather than moving
  • If you are coming from interstate, book a night either side of the show so you are not rushing to or from the airport
  • Groups usually save per person in a two- or three-bedroom apartment compared with separate hotel rooms
