Black Friday is best known for unbelievable discounts and viral videos of shoppers fighting over the latest deals in shopping centres like David Jones and Myer. It occurs every year on the first Friday after Thanksgiving, and the term was first coined at some time during the 1860s after a crash on the gold market. Nowadays, the phrase is synonymous with the discounts and offers in shops that often carry on until Cyber Monday and beyond. And from 24 to 27 November, for the first time ever Fever will be offering their own unbeatable deals for Melburnians to enjoy one-of-a-kind experiences at discounted prices.
There’s a gold mine of Fever events and activities taking place in Melbourne, including immersive exhibitions, Candlelight concerts, comedy shows and more. As shoppers rush around the city to take advantage of the deals on the high street, you can get fabulous discounts on Fever’s most popular plans with just the click of a button.
