- The Suncorp Stadium is at Milton – just outside the Brisbane CBD. See our CBD map for hotels in the city. Please book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. You can travel by train and/or bus to the stadium so City, South Brisbane and West End hotels will all be convenient. There is a new pedestrian walkway from Milton Railway Station to the stadium. Milton is the first stop on the Ipswich line after Roma Street Station and the Transit Centre.
- Backpackers hostels offer the cheapest accommodation per person – but if there is a small group of you check Wotif.com for hotel and motel rooms which are charged per room.
