Tickets for Ireland's eagerly anticipated rugby World Cup meeting with Australia in Melbourne sold out shortly after going on sale this morning.
Tickets not already allocated to official travel agents were available for the November 1st clash in Melbourne's Telstra Dome via the official Rugby World Cup website and ticketing agencies in Australia.
However, these were snapped up in record time, guaranteeing a capacity crowd of 55,000.
The World Cup clash forms the centrepiece of a memorable sporting week for Irish fans in the Victorian capital.
The decisive second International Rules test between Australia and Ireland takes place 24 hours earlier while the city's Flemington racetrack hosts the world-famous Melbourne Cup - won by the Dermot Weld-trained Media Puzzle last year - on November 4th.
