The wait is over! The Gold Coast has an exciting young AFL team and a new home of entertainment has risen up at Carrara.

Now the opportunity is here to be part of history and join the Gold Coast SUNS for the inaugural season as we take on the best in the AFL.

With 11 home games against some of the most powerful clubs in the competition, fans will come together at the Gold Coast SUNS home games to celebrate the birth of the most exciting sporting club in Australia.

Gold Coast SUNS membership packages for the 2011 Toyota AFL Premiership season are on sale from tomorrow (Monday).

Members will be able to secure the best seats when top teams such as Geelong, Collingwood, Hawthorn and St Kilda visit for the first time. There are a range of packages to suit everyone. The 11 game packages includes three home games at Brisbane’s Gabba with the remaining eight games at Carrara from May 28, 2011.

Gold Coast SUNS CEO Travis Auld said the launch of the 2011 membership packages is the opportunity for fans to become part of newest and most exciting club in the AFL.

“Our fan’s support has been rewarded with an amazing fixture in our first year. Together we have built an exciting club for the Gold Coast thanks to our community and the 10,000 plus foundation members,” he said.

“Now we need those foundation members and many more to join as 2011 members, be part of your club, and secure your place at the new home of entertainment on the Gold Coast,” Auld said.

“We have a fantastic fixture of games including our first game against Carlton and the clash with the Brisbane Lions early in the season at the Gabba. We then get a series of great games at Carrara. Fans will get 11 home games as part of their package and I can assure you there will be plenty of Gold Coast passion in the crowd when we run out to compete!

“Just imagine the feeling of being there for our first ever game in the AFL, and then again at our first game at our new home at Carrara. Don't miss out, it will be an amazing ride for us all!"
