Just got my tickets, we'll be over on the Gold Coast (but not in disguise). In general terms, what's going to be the best way to go to/from the game. 1 adult, 2 kids, we'll have a rental car. Seems like we can train it, or drive. What would people suggest...?
It will only take 60 mins in a car from the Coast but then there is parking etc.
The train will take a little longer but no hassle.
If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid
Yeah, the closest parking at the brisbane end appears to be a multistorey, next to the train station... Leaning towards train, just have to see how tired the younger one is... Apparently, stadium tickets are valid on some trains, need to confirm what zones are valid..
The Barricks parking http://www.secureparking.com.au/car-parks/australia/qld/brisbane/barracks is the closest to Suncorp and reasonable prices too - the Brisbane NIX supporters https://www.facebook.com/WellingtonPhoenixBrisbaneSupporters are meeting at the Hotel LA before and after the game which is just across the road from entrance of the car park.....
See ya there

NOTED - we will be there! And we will definitely be taking the "OR EARLIER" option for timing! :-D I need to get to Suncorp prior to starting festivities so I can get my flag into the ground..... Will also be going upstairs at some point to say hello to our usual Roar travellers!
Fly in on Thursday so a few warm up beers will probably be the order of the day as well!
Will be in brisbane for this.
Did not bring any Nix gear over with me unfortuantly. Will be the guy the shitty Op Shop Yellow T.
See you at the Basement bar
All Aboard the Phoenix/ All Whites Bandwagon!!
Bring it ON....
