Australia\u2019s love for American football<\/a> will be put to the test when the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams go head to head at the MCG in September this year.<\/p>\n

The date and time for the historic NFL clash has now been revealed, with the match to start at 10.35am AEST on Friday, September 11.<\/p>\n

But not only will the time pose a challenge for those keen to get to the game, so will the exorbitant ticket prices.<\/p>\n

\u2018Standing\u2019 tickets alone will set a person back $95, while general seating starts $140.<\/p>\n

Hospitality packages start from $1600 and range up to $2800.<\/p>\n

It is the first in-season NFL match to be played in Australia and the early scheduling means it can be broadcast into America in prime-time \u2014 8.35pm on the US East Coast (New York) and 5.35pm on the West Coast (Los Angeles).<\/p>\n

But, with many Australians grappling with an endless cost-of-living crisis, the fans \u2014 who are able to get off work on a Friday \u2014 might baulk at the hefty starting price of the tickets.<\/p>\n

The match-up also falls smack bang in the middle of the AFL finals and the MCG is likely to be under pressure to convert the famous turf back to an AFL ground for a likely clash the following day.<\/p>\n

The MCC\u2019s chief executive Stuart Fox insists they have a plan in place if there is a clash.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve obviously worked with the AFL on this issue, and we don\u2019t know what we\u2019re working with yet, and we won\u2019t know until five or six days out,\u201d he told reporters on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re ready to play a game of AFL if needed, the next night or twilight, and we\u2019re also available the next day after that, Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the ticket prices and and the early morning start, Fox believes \u201cthe place will fill no matter what\u201d.<\/p>\n

He said the logistical challenge of shifting from an NFL pitch to an AFL oval was an exciting one.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been working on it for a year, and it feels like we\u2019re nearly ready to go with it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The NFL is also confident in its Aussie market and believes that the 49ers are a \u201cpopular franchise\u201d with Australians.<\/p>\n

Two-time Super Bowl winners, the Rams, are the \u2018home\u2019 team for the clash, while the 49ers are another storied franchise with five \u2018world championship\u2019 triumphs to their name.<\/p>\n

Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan also ruled out the option of a public holiday, but said there would be a significant cash injection with more than 140,000 people registering interest for the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe British Lions events (last year) that were held at the MCG generated over $100 million in economic return for our state. This will be potentially even bigger than that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
