Along with a couple of friends I am due to go travelling in March. While in Australia, we want to take in one of the SOO games, being either the Brisbane match or the final Sydney match. Does anyone have any experience of the best way to get tickets? I have contacted RLExperience but don't really need any sort of tour package as we'll already be there. Therefore we are just after tickets.

Also, which is the better place to watch RL? Brisbane or Sydney?

Thanks in advance.

brisbane is better (been too both) but getting tickets to brisbane is hard coz it sells out within 2 hours of when they go on sale (sometime april / may?) sydney wont sell out . it also depends on whose got 2 home games this year, sydney or brisbane as to ease of getting tickets. premier.ticketek.com.au/ thats the site for buying tix but maybe only for aussie residents

Surely Melbourne will get one and the new stadium will be open by then.

According to RLExperience, Sydney has 1st and 3rd games with Brisbane 2nd:

I think we'll be trying to attend the 3rd game in Sydney, lets hope its the decider!

melbournes got the anzac test.

i'll try to get to all 3 but the brisbane one maybe tricky.

melbourne dont get a game every year.

normally its either nsw or queensland getting 2 games every year

i think 1 game on the road every year would be a good thing

Glad Melbourne didnt get one, the atmosphere when I went was abysmal....ppl just chatting around me not paying any attention, gu in front of me spent the whole half texting ppl telling them he was at SOO instead of actually watching. Ended up moving somewhere I could see some NSW fans who were actually interested in the event.

Neil Henry has stepped down as QLD assisstent to concentrate fully on the Cowboys this season.
Will it affect the QLD team this year?

Storms new stadium? Hardly big enough to host the event IMO. And its only happened a few times where Vic has got a game anyway. They normally rotate it so whichever state had 1 the previous year gets 2 the next. Not that it helps NSW these days

apparently hes the brains behind their success
