The Lions have put the ‘sold out’ sign up at the Gabba for the sixth time this season, days out from a blockbuster clash with the Swans.
With just six rounds of the 2024 AFL Premiership remaining the Lions have won their past six games in a row and now sit in the Top 4 ahead of the Round 19 clash.
**Lions CEO, Greg Swann said the strong support from the Lions growing fan base was posing some capacity challenges for the club.
“Year on year we’re seeing consistent growth across all metrics of the game in Queensland from Auskick and community participation through to our Membership and general fan base.
“It’s a good problem to have but it does pose challenges for a venue like the Gabba where capacity has actually decreased over the years.**
“Last year we had five sell outs during the home and away season and another two during our finals campaign, so to be at six already with big matches against the Giants and Bombers still to come is a credit to our fans.

That’s 6 out of 11 home games sold out. Lions have been doing very well over the last few years. But how much longer can we pretend like the Gabba doesn’t have capacity issues?
Big difference between sold out and full capacity. Only 32000 for the Carlton game. Heaps of empty seats
