I thought I read a few days ago that 40000 tickets had already been sold. Could have been dodgy figures.
And for anyone who believes that AFL is a threat to Rugby League in SE QLD, all I can say is this. Most don't follow AFL, they just follow the Lions. Outside of them, most couldn't give two shits about AFL. The ratings show that, and the fact that they choose to run repeats of old movies instead of showing AFL games that don't involve the Lions also show it. It's the same with the Swans in Sydney, only their ratings suck when they are playing. It's an enthusiastic, but plastic following. Rugby League is real.
