Bulldogs, Rabbitohs members take early lead
The Rabbitohs and Bulldogs look to have the edge heading into this weekend's Preliminary Finals with fans and members of both teams snapping up tickets in record time.
Rabbitohs fans have counted for 60 per cent of all tickets sold for Friday night's clash against fierce rivals the Sydney Roosters, while the Bulldogs army hold a slight edge over the Panthers securing 57 per cent of all tickets sold for Saturday night's blockbuster.
The thrill and excitement won't be limited to the field of play with Shannon Noel, Friday night, and Shepherd, Saturday night, set to rock ANZ Stadium. The precinct area will also be lit up for fans with entertainers such as roving bands, a DJ, LED hula-hoop artists and neon stilt walkers, for all to enjoy.
NRL Head of Commercial Paul Kind praised the effort of club members getting in early to purchase tickets while encouraging fans of all teams to get to ANZ Stadium and experience the action live.
"We have experienced one of the closest Finals Series on record and the stage is set for two explosive match-ups this weekend," Mr Kind said.
"Rabbitohs and Bulldogs supporters may hold the balance of power in terms of ticket sales at the moment but I have no doubt Roosters and Panthers fans will go close to squaring the ledger before kick-off.
"With integrated transport available, there really isn't an excuse for fans of all teams to get their tickets now to secure a seat for what is certain to be a memorable weekend of finals footy."
Rabbitohs captain John Sutton welcomed news his teams members and fans were leading the charge, declaring their support could prove the difference between winning and losing.
"There is nothing more inspirational than looking around and seeing a packed crowd decked out in red and green," Sutton said.
"Our members and fans are the heart and soul of the club and I know they will be there with us every step of the way on Friday night."
Integrated transport will be available across the Sydney train network with every pre purchased ticket to receive complimentary travel.
The service will extend as far as Bomaderry, Goulburn, Bathurst and Dungog stations.

Paul Kind is a wanker full stop!!!
I have been questioning his position for years.
As a Gallop leftover, he somehow managed to avoid the chop with the incoming administration. Marketing of the NRL is hopeless, and ultimately it stops with him.
The NRL needs a completely fresh approach to marketing starting with the removal of Kind.

Spot on. The bloke just has to go.
for those wanting good seats for the bulldogs game. Just bought 4 tickets in the bulldogs cat 2 section and it gave me level 4 bay 411
How recent is that?
Does this mean the event buses are not running as it only mentions trains?? If not how is it other sports get them running with crowds in the 30's but we are expecting 2 40-50k crowds and cant get them?
Makes a huge difference to non train line suburbs like mine which has had them running for the recent big prelim crowds.
