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 2026 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 2026. 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.
On Level 5, the retail food outlet between aisles 523 and 524 will be open, we will also have other food cart options on the concourse 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 2026, these bars will also feature additional food options.
Please note however, that the Emerald Lounge seating will re-open for all Members to access for half time and post-match. No food options above and beyond those mentioned above will be available.
No they cannot. The pre-match Dining Function is restricted to Members who purchase the Add On Package for their current 2026 seats or who have purchased additional tickets via the Guest Pass & Dining Package option.
