      Edit: Apparently only 2625
      A Saturday 4pm final is a far, far more attractive proposition than a 3pm Sunday slot. Selling out might be a tad optimistic, but a final in a footy state that has had minimum chips games versus Qld (who have had a saturation) would surely get a bigger crowd.

              Absolutely no doubt there would be a bigger crowd in SA, how much bigger is the question.

                    I hope i can grab tickets for me and my family. We'll just have to see if we're quick enough when they offer them to members!

                        Wonder if it’ll sell out?

                            It will be interesting. I'm confident that all members who are residents of Qld, should be able to obtain tickets based on the communication from club.

                              I seriously would hope that all members who are able to attend can attend.

                              If paid up members somehow miss out it would not be a great look.
                              More of an In Bruges guy?

                                Do we know what the capacity will be for the first final? I know they are hoping for 30,000 for the grand final but I don't think they will allow that many yet. Looks like Brisbane have been getting up around 15,000 so I'm guessing 15,000-20,000?

                                I would be amazed if any members that wanted to go couldn't get tickets. I doubt we have a significant number of Queensland members (plus other state members allowed and willing to travel). If there are 20,000 allowed it probably won't even sell out anyway.
