The Gabba
The Brisbane Lions is an Australian rules football club which competes in the Australian Football League (AFL). The Brisbane Lions' home colours are maroon, blue, and gold, and their kits usually feature the club's eponymous lion, which is also found on its official emblem.
The club was formed in 1996, as the result of a merger between 2 pre-existing teams, the Brisbane Bears and the Fitzroy Lions. The Brisbane Lions currently play home matches at The Gabba (Brisbane Cricket Ground).
Despite only being formed in the late 1990's, the team found success quickly, reaching 4 Premiership grand finals in a row between 2001 and 2004, the first 3 of which they won. Whilst the club has not reached the grand final again since 2004, it recorded 2 consecutive second-placed finishes between 2019 and 2020, and regularly appear in the play-off finals at the end of the season. Despite being a "newer" AFL side which incorporates the sporting heritage of 2 previously separate sides, the Brisbane Lions is considered a well-supported team.
The home venue of Brisbane Lions is The Gabba in Brisbane. Away games will usually be played at the rival team's home venue.
Brisbane Lions tickets generally go on sale at 2 or 3 intervals throughout the season. At the beginning of the season, when the Australian Football League (AFL) schedule is announced, tickets for the first games of the season go on sale, and then further ticket sales then open during the campaign.
Tickets for Brisbane Lions home matches can be purchased online. Select tickets for some fixtures may also be available to buy at a stadium ticket office, but purchasing tickets online is however normally the best means of securing tickets, as there is likely to be a wider range of tickets available in advance of match day, and fans can conveniently compare prices from across the stadium and from different ticketing suppliers. Buying tickets in-person at the stadium may result in there being fewer tickets available – tickets may even be sold out. Koobit provides links to purchase tickets online directly from official suppliers and resellers.
Brisbane Lions home games are mostly held at The Gabba, which is situated in Brisbane. As this venue is located in an urban area, there are multiple options when it comes to nearby car parking.
