The AFL wishes to advise that tickets to Friday night's match between Collingwood and the Geelong Cats, to be played at the MCG, are selling extremely strongly on a demand basis.

A limited number of seats remain available in both the AFL Reserve and the Public section of the ground.

The AFL is encouraging all fans to purchase a ticket in advance to avoid disappointment, as well as to avoid entry queues on the night.

Tickets are currently on sale through Ticketek on 132 849, at any Ticketek outlet or online at ticketek.com.au.

The MCC also advises those attending the MCG on Friday night to allow plenty of time to arrive at the stadium and to take public transport where possible.

Public and AFL gates will open at 5.30pm and the MCC Members Reserve will open at 5.00pm
