General Updates

Junior and Family Membership Packages

Pleasingly, the Club has seen a significant increase in junior community support for the Gold Coast SUNS. 
We are pleased to announce that we have significantly decreased the price of junior general admission memberships in 2026 to just $55 (previously $105)
These kids are the future of our Club and play an important role in growing longevity and loyalty across our membership base, ensuring we are consistently growing 

We are also pleased to confirm that all family memberships*, comprising of two (2) adults and two (2) juniors are priced as ‘kids come free’ effectively only paying for the adult component of those memberships. 

Family memberships comprising of two (2) adults and four (4) juniors have also seen a reduction in price relevant to their membership category in 2026.

Benefits and Inclusions 

Throughout the 2025 home-and-away season we received an overwhelming amount of feedback from existing members stating that they didn’t feel as though their membership package was any different to someone paying more OR less. 
We offered several memberships packages in different seating locations that were priced the same, regardless of the perceived value of the seating location. Some membership categories paid a premium membership price, yet received the same membership benefits as someone paying up to 50% less for their membership package. 

In 2026, we want to create clear, differentiating factors between each of the membership packages on offer. We strongly believe if you pay for a premium package, your benefits and inclusions should be reflective of that. We also believe if you pay for flexibility and ease, your membership benefits should also reflect this choice. 

We also want to continue to develop a Gold Coast SUNS membership base that feel more valued and more connected to our Club than ever before.

Reward & Recognition Program

In 2026, we are introducing a new and improved member reward and recognition program where members will be recognised and rewarded for their consecutive years of membership, member tenure and loyalty. This program and the benefits outlined run in addition to the 2026 membership suite and offerings. 
Members are the lifeblood of any AFL football Club and we know that without them, we simply would not exist. 
You can find our dedicated Reward & Recognition page here which outlines the five levels and their benefits. 

Blue & Red Carpark

The stadium’s Transport Management Plan is under review. Carparking arrangements for 2026 will be communicated in the new year. The Gold Coast SUNS have been asked to remove any carparking memberships from SUNS pay auto-renewal until we understand more.

2026 Membership Cards

People First Stadium will become a digital stadium in 2026. Barcoded membership cards will cease to exist. 
The Club will clearly communicate how to access your 2026 digital membership card ahead of Opening Round in 2026. Our friendly membership team will be available to assist. 

We acknowledge there were a number of issues with the SUNS App in 2025 that’s caused significant issues and frustrations for our consumers. We have received confirmation from the AFL app designers that new technology and significant improvements to Club apps will be introduced for the 2026 season and beyond.
