Going to the ballet on Saturday and am very excited! Except it dawned on me that that it’s on at the same time as the Grand Final. Do you guys think city parking will be affected much by the Grand Final? I’m assuming places like Crown will be way busier than usual because of all of the AFL centric events they have. I was thinking of parking somewhere in the northern CBD since we’ll probably have dinner that way after the show.

I always avoid the CBD on GF night so all I can say is good luck :)

  Thanks, me too. Bought the tickets months ago without thinking too much about the date!

I wouldn’t drive in the CBD on GF day, is PT an option? Parking northern CBD works if you don’t need to drive through the CBD. But expect time limits for street parking.

  Unfortunately PT into the city isn’t an option due to some very stubborn people, that would be my preference as well! PT in the city is (marginally) acceptable though.
  
  I think I’ll try and book a parking garage that end and see what happens.

    I know those types of stubborn people too. There’s lots of parking garages in Carlton then easy tram in. Should be able to cheap weekend rates too.

We usually park in North Melbourne (Victoria/Roden St) on weekends and never had problems finding spots. Free parking after 1230.
