The Adelaide Football Club’s first match of the 2011 Toyota AFL Premiership Season is now on sale.

The match with Hawthorn marks a significant moment in the Club's history - the 20th anniversary of the Crows' first AFL game, two decades after the AFC defeated Hawthorn by 86 points at Football Park.

Tickets are available to the Saturday night clash via the AFC's new Ticketing Portal, located at www.afc.com.au/tickets, at a Ticketmaster outlet, or by phoning 136100.

The AFC Ticketing Portal simplifies the purchasing process, allowing you to easily locate the match you wish to purchase tickets for before directing you to Ticketmaster’s final checkout.

Match information for each fixture is also available at your fingertips, including the on sale date, match preview, game day promotions, activities, transport and parking information.

A new era is beginning at West Lakes with a young, potential filled list, and it is hoped that all members and fans can share in the occasion at AAMI Stadium. Special 20th year match day activities, appearances and events have been planned for the Saturday night match, with details to be announced shortly.
