“This is a wonderful result for the game and highlights how much this contest has captivated the public,” NRL CEO Todd Greenberg said.
“Ever since this match-up was confirmed, the interest in the Grand Final has been extremely high.
“Both sets of supporters have gotten behind their teams which will create a fantastic atmosphere inside ANZ Stadium.

“As a result there is incredible interest in the contest. There will be extraordinary colour and passion on the day and with our entertainment we will keep people of all ages entertained throughout the afternoon and evening.”
