Organisers still have about 5,000 tickets to shift for Wednesday's opening ceremony and are practically "giving them away" apparently.

Just not to Matt & Sarah. The BBC's media allocation has been used up so Matt & Sarah won't be in the MCG for what promises to be quite a spectacular event - officials have threatened fines  of up to £100,000 for media outlets trying to leak details of the show.Yarra300

The big question? Will Kylie be there - she's in her home town recovering from breast cancer.  

Anyway, Matt & Sarah will instead be reporting from the banks of the Yarra, where there will be an  outdoor show for the residents of Melbourne. Giant mechanical fish are going to swim up the river - check out this picture.
