Because that's one of the perks of the membership people pay for!first in best dressed general admission for 90% of tickets, first in best dressed of the members for the other 10%.
not everyone who is a member should get a guaranteed origin ticket if they do decide they want it. just because youre a broncos member shouldnt mean you have more of a right to a QLD vs NSW state of origin match than someone whos not a broncos member.
it would be completely solved by having all of 0% of the tickets reserved, and 100% available to the general public.
why *should* they?
That's how it works everywhere else in the world, where stadiums who host rep games, offer them in advance to their members and to the members who calls the stadium their "home", which sometimes is one and the same thing.
Want to be assured of Origin tickets? Get a membership, be it Broncos or QRL if you don't support the Broncos. You can get the tickets with the membership, or you can just pay to support your team and/or state and have the right to get guaranteed tickets when the time comes. You then only need to make sure you order the tickets on the day you have in advance of the general public.
If you're a Suncorp Stadium member, you keep your seat anyway, as you should!
What I wouldn't agree with, is Broncos members taking tickets away from QRL members, but as of now, that isn't happening yet.
