In 2012 the Carlton Football Club will be a force to be reckoned with, both on-field and off-field, so, to reward our supporters who are the foundation of our strength, we're offering you the chance to win the ultimate footy experience.

Imagine venturing into the inner sanctum of the Carlton rooms before one of our Etihad Stadium home games, watching the boys receive their last minute instructions, making your way to a special VIP area on the wing where a comfy couch awaits you and watching the game from the best position in the stadium. Then, after the footy season ends, you and a friend flying coral economy class with Etihad Airways, the world’s leading airline, to Europe.

Sounds pretty awesome, right?

Well, with thanks to Etihad Airlines, this dream could become a reality for one lucky Blues supporter.

We're giving away five "VIP Footy Experiences" where supporters will receive VIP treatment in the exclusive “Carlton VIP Lounge” with passes into the Carlton dressing rooms at one of 5 Etihad Stadium home games.

The major prize is two tickets to any destination in Europe or the UK courtesy of Etihad Airlines. Where you go is up to you.

It's really easy to enter. All you need to do is tell us in 50 words or less what Carlton gear would you wear on your trip of a lifetime and why. Click here to enter now.

Good luck and Go Blues!
