All public tickets (including standing room tickets) for tonight's Carlton-Collingwood blockbuster have SOLD OUT.

Therefore, there will be NO general admission available to purchase at the gate tonight.

Carlton and Collingwood club members who have general admission memberships and who have not upgraded to a reserved seat will not be able to scan into the ground on the night.

Probably a stupid question but does anyone know which side of the MCG the Carlton cheer squad is sitting?

Saw this on the Carlton website yesterday.

If the anticipated attendance of 90,000 is realised, then no greater crowd in global sporting history will have been pictured by FanCam. Accordingly, Carlton fans are urged to take their seats at the MCG by 7.20pm when FanCam’s 20 GigaPixel camera captures a 360-degree high-resolution image of the crowd.

Edit: You will be able to zoom in and see yourself in the crowd once it has been uploaded after the game.

I am about to head off for a drink before going into the MCG for the game.


The good news is I have a MCC GA ticked, and have been told I am guarenteed a seat on the fence across from the centre square


Bad news is the group I am going with (friends of my brother's workmate) are mostly Collingwood supporters (I have been told it will be 11 Collingwood to 3 Carlton).


Oh well, the things you do for a great seat for a Carlton v Collingwood game


Quick question. I will be going to the ground from Richmond station. Which side of the ground will Gate 2 be from there (eg will I have to walk all the way around the ground to get to the gate?)

All the sweeter when we win.

So basically showing games live against the gate has no influence on crowd sizes.......Makes you wonder why the hell it took so long to get live free to air coverage again and what all the worry was about over the past few seasons!

Here we go boys, big things expected tonight!

Gotta love it. Blues by 21.

The AFL is going to love this...

Standing room only at the G... even the MCC members will be out in force tonight I reckon.

All it needs is a close match to really set the place alight (although the filth supporters might do that for real if it is a blowout in our favour) and hopefully the scoreboard comes down in our favour.

Quite a walk. On the Wellington Parade side. Easier to catch a tram and get off at Clarendon St opposite the Hilton.
