Election Day Spectacular

Overview

The term 'media circus' might have been coined to describe the hoopla that accompanies the US presidential election every four years. Manning Bar at the University of Sydney is hosting an Election Day Spectacular where for $12 ($8 concession) you can have a front-row seat for all the shenanigans.

In partnership with CNN International, live coverage of election results will be shown on the big screen. If you're bi-partisan curious, experts from the US Studies Centre will be on hand to explain the complex process and offer blow-by-blow analysis.

Surround yourself with fellow news junkies and root for your team. There will be prize giveaways and the opportunity to have your photo taken with the candidates. Counting millions of ballots sure can raise an appetite, so your ticket also gets you US delicacies including popcorn, a hot dog lunch, and fairy floss — which you should order by its American English name, 'cotton candy'.

Uncle Sam says he wants YOU to attend.
