Titans tickets on sale for the public
GOLD COAST BULLETIN
30Jan07
EIGHT years of blood, sweat and tears will come to fruition tomorrow when tickets go on sale for the Gold Coast Titans' historic opening-round blockbuster against St George Illawarra.
Tickets for the round-one NRL clash at Suncorp Stadium had previously been made available only to Titans members, but will be released to the general public for the first time from 9am tomorrow.
The match, to be played on Sunday, March 18, will mark the first time a Gold Coast rugby league team has contested a competition fixture since the Gold Coast Chargers lost to Cronulla 20-18 at Carrara Stadium in August, 1998.
The Chargers were axed by the Australian Rugby League at the end of the 1998 season.
The Titans elected to move the clash against the Dragons to the 52,000-seat Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane rather than play it at their home base of Gold Coast Stadium, (formerly Carrara Stadium), which has a capacity of only 17,000.
Tickets for the match will be sold through Ticketek, with adult prices ranging from $25 through to $43 for gold tickets and $12-25 for kids aged between five and 12.
Free transport to Brisbane from the Gold Coast is included with every ticket purchased.
Tickets are also on sale for the Titans' final pre-season trial match against Penrith at Gold Coast Stadium, which is set to feature a full-strength Gold Coast line-up.
