Some clubs in conjunction with business sell "hospitality packages": a breakfast, lunch or dinner (with a ticket) for a 4 figure sum. They are not allowed to sell the grand final ticket over face value.

Serfty is the one to give a better answer. Guess he will be at the 'G on the day as an AFL member
By the way 10/01/2011 was 10 Jan 2011 in Australia. No AFL football that day
Thanks for the feedback. The packages are to rich for me.
I had seen the following

I will certainly see the parade the day before and ceremonies at Fed Square after the game. I could end up watching the game from the Executive Lounge of the Hilton across the street. It would be so close and far at the same time.
01/10/2011 indeed
