Panthers have written to members today outlining the club’s plans for the next two seasons in terms of ticketing.

And they have confirmed a likely 2027 return to the redeveloped venue, though the Weekender understands the club is hopeful of a home game in Penrith in late 2026.

“As we embark on a new chapter and farewell our beloved BlueBet Stadium while it is transformed into a world class sporting precinct, we are delighted to share with you some key information regarding the Panthers membership program for the stadium transition period before memberships go on sale in mid-late September,” the Panthers said in the email to fans.

Members are generally being charged the same per-game price at CommBank Stadium as they were at BlueBet Stadium this year.

Only eight home games will be played at CommBank with Penrith to take matches to Las Vegas, Mudgee, Bathurst and Brisbane, the latter as part of Magic Round.

The club has also revealed how they will reallocate members back to the new stadium, with priority levels based on memberships held in 2025 and 2026.

Members have been invited to a forum on Monday, September 2 where full explanations around the process will be provided.
