How to find Apple TV 4 MAC address before activation

Hi,

I've just bought a new apple tv while overseas and would like to set it up.

I'm staying in a hotel with captive portal wifi, so I can't get the apple tv to connect to the internet and activate.

Is there a way I can find the MAC address (it's not on the box label) before activating? If I can spoof the MAC address from my laptop, I should be able to get it on the white-list, and connect the apple TV directly.

Thanks for any help,

David
