I'm surprise that no one post this deal…
Here's a freebie for VIC international students.
Demons is underdog but I think they'll win this game.
GO POWER!!! :)

THE AFL has announced details of its ticket offer for international students to attend the game between Melbourne and the Brisbane Lions at the MCG on April 24.
The AFL, in partnership with Monash University and La Trobe University, will make 5000 free tickets available to international students living and studying in Victoria.
To obtain a ticket, international students can register at the Health and Wellbeing Hub at any Monash University campus.
International students at La Trobe University can register at the LTU Guild Office - Union Building, Bundoora Campus LTU Contact Office - Upper West Agora, Bundoora Campus.
All international students will be required to present their student ID card when they register. They will also be eligible for a second ticket free of charge.
Monash University’s deputy vice-chancellor, international engagement, Stephanie Fahey, said it was proud to be involved with this significant initiative with the AFL.
“Monash is excited to join with the AFL to help our international students integrate even further into the Australian community,” she said.
“La Trobe is delighted to be part of this fantastic initiative, which is introducing international students to our unique Australian football culture and enriching their educational experience,” said Professor John Rosenberg, deputy vice-chancellor international and future students.
In another significant development, the game will also be broadcast live on local Chinese radio station 3CW (AM 1341).
Melbourne and the Lions will play the first AFL game in China later this year, battling it out for the Kaspersky AFL Cup (otherwise known as the `Shanghai Showdown’) at Jiangwan Sports Centre in Shanghai on October 17.
AFL general manager national and international development, David Matthews, said the ticket offer to April’s game at the MCG was a great chance for international students to experience AFL.
“Many of them would never have been to an AFL game before and we want them to come along and experience all the colour and excitement of Australian football,” he said.

        Damn 3 lions in da house.

        • 4 lions. 4 - for Demons and 4 + for lions

  • Good way to promote AFL

    • Why don't you put up a post on how people can get a free fridge? I'm sure it will be popular.

  • I think the description mentions that only students from Monash and La Trobe are eligible for the deal, correct me if I am wrong. If this is the case then it should be highlighted in the title.

  • This game will be lucky to get 5000 people so if you wait till quarter time it will be free for everyone. Why the Go Power The Power arne't even playing…

    • 18,000+ for North Melbourne vs. West Coast at Etihad today.
      Still plenty of Fitzroy Lions fans as well.
      This game should draw 25,000+.

      wish this offer is up for any international students, not just monash and la trobe. but hey, i'm coming to the G when my team plays, even when there's no free tickets.

      • Don't tell me you barrack for Tiger?
        If you do then this year is not a fun year to watch :)

        BTW welcome to OzB!

        Who do you barrack for?
        I'll go with you to the footy when your team plays the Hawks at the G.

        new user can only have 5 posts/day? wth?

        anyway, nope, not the tigers. unfortunately, i barrack for the pies (yeah, i know what you all think). Decided to barrack them after i watched Buck played, then found out that almost everyone hate this team; too late to change my mind. haha.

        ah, Hawks, our boogey team…

    Hope many international students take the opportunity. AFL is a brilliant sport and this really is a good initiative. Most int. students at uni Ive spoken to have never been to the footy, so hopefully this can change that.

    • yeah, many of them can't get why the game is called football considering the players can handle the ball. And many of them already used to watch football (soccer) and can't get around the rules of footy. Me for instance, can't watch footy without falling asleep at first. but once i understood the rules (except that stupid "hands in the back" rule), it's all good.
