Dining Function

For Major & Special Events like State of Origin, the Members Restaurant is closed and a pre-match dining package for Members and their guests is delivered. This is so we can have the ability to cater for as many Members as possible on this huge night of Rugby League.

The dining package includes:

  • 3-course meal (entrée, main, dessert)
  • 2-hour pre-match beer, wine and soft drinks package (1*)
  • Live Music, Roving Entertainment and State of Origin Legends
  • Prizes and lucky number draw

Event times will be shared with Members closer to the date. (For reference in 2024, Gates open at 5:30pm, with the Dining Function running from 5:45pm until 7:45pm and Kick Off scheduled for 8:05pm).

FAQs

Please note that Guest Pass, Guest Pass & Dining Package or Dining Package Add On purchases via invoice or credit card are final and non-refundable except where required under Australian Consumer Law.

Like your Members seats which are allocated to the same seat for 2024 Member events, other Members also own the seats around you. In most sections, allocations are at capacity and therefore only certain areas are available for Guest Pass purchases. Due to the sell-out nature of the State of Origin event, and the requirement to use every single seat in the venue, relocation is not offered for the State of Origin event.

Due to the sellout nature and limited availability, Members are limited to purchasing 2 Guest Passes per Membership seat held in 2025. This limit applies regardless of whether the Guest Pass includes a Dining Package.

For example

If you hold 2 Membership seats, you can purchase 4 Guest Passes. These can include any combination of seat only Guest Passes or Guest Pass & Dining Package, as long as the total does not exceed 4.

You can also purchase a Dining Package Add On to your Membership seats (e.g. 2 Dining Package Add-Ons), enabling you and any Guests to attend the pre-match dining function together. After dining, your guests with Guest Passes will move to their allocated grandstand seats, while you return to your Membership seats.

The function times are set, as are the course timings – should you or your guests arrive late, please be aware you may miss a meal course. We encourage all attendees to arrive early to avoid transport delays.

Yes, while grandstand seating is limited and relocation is not available, we do allocate the same tables in the function so all your guests can enjoy the pre-match build up and hospitality together.

We do not release an exact menu for the 3-course meal. However, in the lead up to the event we will reach out to Members for any dietary requirements.

You will receive an email with your invoice confirming the purchase of your Dining Package Add On for the current Member seats you hold. Our team will also reach out via email in the coming months requesting information on dietary requirements etc. along with details on how Function entry will work on the night for you and your guests.

If you purchased via Credit Card, this loading symbol will change within 5 minutes of your purchase, please refresh the page. If however, you purchased via an invoice and have made payment recently using one of the methods described on the invoice, this symbol may take up to 3 working days to change. We ask that payment is made in a timely manner to avoid access issues to ticketing.

Yes, your Member Card (Lanyard) will be active, unless you transfer digital tickets through the Member Portal. Please be reminded that by doing this, your Member Cards are deactivated for that match. We cannot allow two barcodes for the same seat to be active for any event, this is for the protection of Members.

On Level 5, the retail food outlet between aisles 523 and 524 will be open, we will also have other food cart options in the south area of the concourse around aisle 517 for Members to access. For beverages, bars 519, 520 and 522 will all be accessible. Please note that no additional seating will be available in the Emerald Lounge or along the concourse, so takeaway food and drinks will need to be consumed at your seats in the Grandstand. On Level 3, Member Bars 320 and 322 will be open and available for Members to access including some limited seating – in 2025, these bars will also feature additional food options.
