The QR Reds will return to Ballymore for one of their seven Investec Super 14 rugby home matches in 2010.
Season memberships for a red hot seven game package - including the one-off Ballymore match against New Zealand's Blues set down for February 27 - go on general sale on September 7, with existing members able to renew their seats from today at a preferential price.
The 2010 packages again include ‘kids free’ family membership options.
Under the provisional Super 14 draw, the remaining six matches at Suncorp Stadium include a season opening blockbuster against the NSW Waratahs on February 13, followed a week later by a Friday night match against New Zealand's Crusaders.
Suncorp is unavailable for the round three match against the Blues because of a date clash with the Socceroos, so the decision was made to lock in Ballymore for the Saturday night match.
"The younger players are particularly excited about the opportunity to play a Super 14 match at Ballymore, as they've heard all the stories from the older hands about what it used to be like," said QR Reds head coach Phil Mooney.
"Hopefully we'll have a full house and the place will be pumping."
The Reds also have home games against Australian rivals the Western Force and the defending Super 14 champions, the Bulls from South Africa.
The scheduled QR Reds home games are:
Feb 13 v Waratahs (NSW) - Suncorp
Feb 19 v Crusaders (NZ) - Suncorp
Feb 27 v Blues (NZ) - Ballymore
Mar 14 v Western Force (WA) - Suncorp
Apr 17 v Bulls (Sth Africa) - Suncorp
Apr 23 v Stormers (Sth Africa) - Suncorp
May 15 v Highlanders (NZ)- Suncorp
The 2010 draw including exact kick-off times is still to be set in stone by the competition's governing body, but the dates and venues for the Reds' games are not expected to change.
