they sell it out in hours
the Brisbane Broncos V New Zealand Warriors Preliminary Final will be the most sought after ticket going around next weekend ... anywhere ... in Australia
The Broncos , largest supporter base in RL & easily in their home city & rest of QLD
Kiwis in SE QLD , huge in number & like all kiwis ... right on the Wahs bandwagon ATM
Kiwis in the rest of Australia
Kiwis in NZ ( apparently airline websites crashed in NZ with enquiries about flights to Brisbane last night )
Suncorps 52,500 capacity will be woefully inadequate for the demand that will hit tomorrow for tickets
The only game in town next week
back seats for everything else

I am pretty sure the lions would sell out an 80,000 stadium this weekend also.
Carlton are extremely popular & have not made a preliminary final for 23 years so the lions game is going to be huge also.

Yep - can't book a room for in Brisbane this weekend - a great footy weekend for all - best of all the small businesses with all the tourist flocking in. It's a Win Win before the games are even played.

The Broncos have hardly ever filled a 52,500 stadium & this is meant to be Rugby League heartland.
They average around 35,000. That is a lot of empty seats.

If the Lions were playing against a big Victorian club in Brisbane, they could fill a 80k stadium.

The Lions do need a bigger stadium than the Gabba now their supporter base is growing.
Every other Footy/Cricket stadium is great in other capital cities except for the Gabba.
Hopefully when it gets redeveloped for the Olympics it will be better.

They are words that the Rugba leap poof ball use when they try and explain why the AFL gets bigger crowds, higher memberships and better ratings than the bum sniffing game can get.

17 crowds of over 50K at Suncorp since 2003 for the Broncos say you're a clueless mo^ng petey
