Fans attending the cricket match can collect wristband from any one of the eight booths at the MCG. This wristband will be very helpful to police officials as they can identify patrons who are underage drinkers. Patrons have to show their Photo ID and get a wristband from any one of the booths. This new system would be very helpful to staff as they will know the age of the patrons, and patrons no longer have to show their Photo ID when they purchase alcohol at the bar. If an underage patron shows fake wristband then he/she will have to pay fine to Victoria Police. If patron goes to the booth drunk he will not get a wristband and the police officials can emit him from the ground. This new method will not only help bar staff in identifying underage drinkers but also stamp them out. This method is very helpful to Victoria police because if any major event happens in Victoria they can easily identify underage patrons. A total of eight booths have been set up, out of which one is located outside the MCG near gate five, and other seven booths are located inside the ground. Police officials can collect fines from patrons if they use any abusive language.
