Few sporting spectacles rival the Australian Football League (AFL)Grand Final. It is played by the two most successful teams at the end of the season. Around 110,000 people cram the MCG, while millions watch the telecast world-wide. The lead up to the big game is frenetic with saturation coverage in the media. A highlight is the parade of the two competing teams through city streets on the Friday before the game. Tickets are hard to obtain, with most going to club members, sponsors and the media. If you can find one, consider yourself lucky.
