Tickets for the AFL NAB Challenge Country Game Match between Essendon and Geelong are now on sale for club members and will go on sale tomorrow, Wednesday 3 February for the general public.
People interested in attending the match are encouraged to get their tickets early to avoid missing out.
Council’s Director Sustainable Development Johann Rajaratnam said capacity at Deakin Reserve is limited and given the popularity of Essendon and Geelong, anyone who wants to attend should get their tickets beforehand.
“We are expecting a crowd of between 7,000 and 10,000 to attend the match, so to avoid missing out, or risk being in long queues, people should pre-purchase their tickets.” Mr Rajaratnam said.
“If you are a football fan, I encourage to you take the opportunity to see some of your AFL heroes at our premier regional sporting facility.
