Tickets are selling fast for the ‘Dreamtime in Darwin’ clash between Melbourne and Port Adelaide with only a limited number of grandstand seats left for Saturdays big game at TIO Stadium.
"We urge all football supporters in the NT to get behind this historic celebration of indigenous culture in the NT," said AFL Northern Territory CEO Tony Frawley.
"TIO Stadium has a limited reserved seating capacity and to avoid disappointment we ask patrons to pre-book tickets for these seats which have the best view of the game."
AFLNT also ask patrons to arrive early as possible to avoid line up’s at the gates and to ensure their best vantage point.
"With the NTFL Grand final we saw patrons get in early to see what was a great event and we advise people to do the same for the AFL Game. We have some great pre-match entertainment lined up and an all indigenous curtain raiser prior to the main game."
Tickets are on sale from the Darwin Entertainment Centre and associated outlets. Visit www.darwinentertainment.com.au or call 8980 3333 for more information about the event.
The Northern Territory Government is providing free buses for the public to attend the match. Free buses will run at half-hour intervals from the following interchanges: Casuarina, Darwin and Palmerston.
