Despite the fact they have been on sale for weeks, tickets to the NRL grand final will be frozen until Monday morning, with a structured release of remaining tickets.
As is common practice, ticket sales are frozen over preliminary final weekend so that fans of the Friday night winner can't purchase remaining tickets ahead of fans of Saturday night's winner.
