The ACT Government are working closely with the NRL and teams to understand key plans and operations considering the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the recent change to the Public Health Directions.
Due to COVID-19 travel restrictions into the ACT, and the need to contact ticket purchasers who have their ticketing account registered in declared areas of concern, ticket sales for the game will stop at 6pm on Friday July 2 2021.
Tickets will not be available to purchase at the venue on match day. This is to ensure the safety of everyone attending the match.
