It is possible for visitors to get a Myki ticket in advance and by now 
there is supposed to be a special Myki pack for tourists to purchase at 
the airport:

But I found it easier to purchase and use an electronic ticket in 
Istanbul than Melbourne. The Istanbul system uses relatively primitive 
contact based electronic tokens you have to press into the reader. There 
are only a few locations you can buy them, but they are then easy to use 
and easy to top up: http://www.tomw.net.au/travel/istanbul.shtml
