Brisbane Bullets Home Games at the Entertainment Centre, 22 November to 23 January: Start Times, Trains and $18 Parking (Brisbane, QLD)

The Brisbane Bullets have seven more home games at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Boondall between Sunday 22 November 2026 and Saturday 23 January 2027, starting with the Sydney Kings at 4pm on the 22nd. Parking is $18 a car, card only, and the nearest station, Boondall, is a 600m walk, but Shorncliffe line weekend trains are a shuttle you join at Northgate.

This guide uses the venue’s What’s On list and its seven event pages (linked in the table and in Sources), its Getting Here, FAQs, Conditions of Entry and Accessibility pages, and Translink’s notices on the Shorncliffe line weekend shuttle and evening track closures. The event pages were read on Sunday 8 November 2026. Brisbane is on Queensland time (AEST, UTC+10), which has no daylight saving.

When are the seven home games?

Every date and time below comes from the venue’s own event pages, and each page marks the time “subject to change”. The venue’s What’s On list also shows a Bullets home game against the Tasmania JackJumpers on Sunday 15 November, which has its own guide: Bullets v JackJumpers on 15 November.

Date	Start	Opponent (venue event page)	Theme
Sun 22 Nov 2026	4:00pm	Bullets v Sydney Kings	Indigenous Round
Thu 3 Dec 2026	7:00pm	Bullets v Perth Wildcats	Teddy Toss
Sun 27 Dec 2026	4:00pm	Bullets v Cairns Taipans	RACQ Round
Wed 30 Dec 2026	6:30pm	Bullets v Adelaide 36ers	Ignite Cup
Sun 3 Jan 2027	4:00pm	Bullets v Melbourne United	First Responders
Fri 8 Jan 2027	6:30pm	Bullets v Sydney Kings	Pride Round
Sat 23 Jan 2027	6:30pm	Bullets v Melbourne United	Heritage Round

The pages describe the themes this way. The 22 November game is Indigenous Round, with the team wearing a jersey designed by First Nations artist Rhan Hooper. On 3 December the annual Teddy Toss lets fans bring a new teddy bear or soft toy to throw onto the court at half time, with donations going to children and families in need over the festive season. The 27 December game is RACQ Round and the 30 December game is the Ignite Cup. The 3 January game is First Responders Round, honouring police, firefighters, paramedics and emergency personnel, the 8 January game is Pride Round, and the 23 January game is Heritage Round, marking the anniversary of the club’s 1987 and 2007 championship teams.

Do the gates open before the game?

The venue’s pages give start times only. Translink publishes gate times on its event transport page for each game; for the 15 November game it listed gates at 3pm for a 4pm start. For these seven games we did not find a Translink page as of 8 November, so we do not give gate times. The Ticketek Box Office is open on event days and usually opens 30 minutes before the external gates, according to the venue’s FAQs. The venue says event information goes by email to the registered Ticketek purchaser about 24 hours before a game.

Can I catch the train to Boondall?

Yes, but not straight through from the city on weekends. Boondall station is on the Shorncliffe line, and the venue says it is a 600m walk from the station to the Centre. Translink’s event page for the 15 November game lists Boondall station (Stop ID 600417) and the bus stop on Aberdeen Parade at Boondall station (Stop ID 003276) as the stops near the venue.

Translink’s notice on weekend shuttle services says that until late 2026, Shorncliffe line weekend services run as a shuttle between Shorncliffe and Northgate stations. From Brisbane City you catch any train that stops at Northgate and transfer to the Shorncliffe line, and coming back you change at Northgate. Shuttle trains run every 30 minutes. The notice covers weekends until “late 2026”, which takes in the games on Sunday 22 November and Sunday 27 December. It does not say whether the shuttle still runs for Sunday 3 January and Saturday 23 January, so check Translink before those games.

Station	Sunday departures, towards the city (change at Northgate)	Sunday departures, towards Shorncliffe
Northgate	:26 and :56 past each hour	:07 and :37 past each hour
Nudgee	:20 and :50 past each hour	:14 and :44 past each hour
Boondall	:17 and :47 past each hour	:17 and :47 past each hour
North Boondall	:15 and :45 past each hour	:19 and :49 past each hour

These are the Sunday departure times at each station, not arrival times at the Centre. Translink reviewed the notice on 24 September 2026 and it can change, so check the journey planner for your trip. The notice we read gives Sunday times; we have not shown Saturday times, so check them before the 23 January game.

Will evening track closures affect a weeknight game?

Translink says evening track closures from 7:45pm on the Shorncliffe line, for testing of the new European Train Control System, run throughout 2026 and into 2027. The list we read covers November only: Monday 2 to Thursday 5, Monday 9 and Tuesday 10, Thursday 12, Monday 16 and Tuesday 17, Monday 23 and Tuesday 24, Thursday 26 and Monday 30 November. The 22 November game is on a Sunday and is not on it, but the list says closures may change. Translink had not published December or January dates when we checked on 8 November, and four of the games are on a Thursday, a Wednesday, a Friday and a Saturday evening, so check the list again before 3 December, 30 December and 8 January. During a closure, Translink runs railbus R348 about every 30 minutes.

Game	Day	On Translink’s November closure list?
Sydney Kings, 22 Nov	Sunday	No; weekend shuttle applies
Perth Wildcats, 3 Dec	Thursday	December dates not published when we checked
Cairns Taipans, 27 Dec	Sunday	Weekend shuttle notice applies until late 2026
Adelaide 36ers, 30 Dec	Wednesday	December dates not published when we checked
Melbourne United, 3 Jan	Sunday	January dates not published when we checked
Sydney Kings, 8 Jan	Friday	January dates not published when we checked
Melbourne United, 23 Jan	Saturday	January dates not published when we checked

What will the train cost?

For the 15 November game, Translink’s event page said normal tickets and fares apply and that you need a valid contactless payment or go card to travel; it listed no free event travel. We have not seen pages for these seven games. Translink’s fares pages say a journey costs 50 cents regardless of distance and payment method, as of October 2026; our go card and contactless guide covers how to pay. For help, Translink’s number is 13 12 30, answered 24 hours a day.

How much is parking, and where do I pay?

The venue says parking is $18.00 per visit, payable to the car park attendant on entry, card only, and that the price can change without notice. The charge applies to all vehicles, including cars, motorbikes and scooters. The venue asks you to arrive early or share a vehicle to reduce delays, and says to follow the attendants’ directions. It describes the grounds as having ample on-site parking.

Question	What the venue says
Price	$18.00 per visit, all vehicles
How to pay	To the attendant on entry, card only (the venue is cashless)
Which roads	The Gateway Motorway and Bicentennial Road, off Sandgate Road
Charter buses and coaches	Parking is free; oversized vehicles pay the $18.00 rate
Accessible parking	Close to the accessible turnstile entrances; display a current disability parking permit; the $18.00 still applies

The venue’s Getting Here page has links titled Driving Directions and Toll Roads and Payment Options, which we did not open, so check tolls on the way before you set off. For live road conditions, see QLDTraffic.

Where do taxis and ride-share pick up?

A taxi rank is on site beside the Ticketek Box Office, and the venue says taxis will be available after the show with a supervisor present. The ride-share pick-up and drop-off point is in Carpark 5, and the venue says to ask staff for directions. There is also a drop-off and pick-up zone inside the grounds for short stays: tell the car park attendant what you need and follow their directions.

What can I bring in?

The venue’s FAQs and conditions of entry set these rules, which apply to most events; the event pages do not list a different bag policy for these games.

• Bags larger than an A4 sheet of paper are not permitted for most events. All bags are searched, and a security search and wanding take place before entry.
• One sealed 600mL plastic bottle of water per person is allowed. Other food and drink cannot be brought in.
• Signs and banners larger than an A3 sheet are not allowed.
• Professional cameras, tablets larger than 170mm, drones, selfie sticks and tripods are not allowed.
• Prams cannot go into the seating bowl; they can be stored at the free cloakroom beside the Ticketek Box Office.
• The venue is cashless. Cash can be exchanged for a Cash Card at the venue.

Everyone needs a ticket, including children, except infants aged 3 years and under who sit on the knee of a paying adult. The event pages list junior tickets for ages 4 to 17 and a Family of Four ticket made up of 2 adults and 2 juniors or 1 adult and 3 juniors. Under the venue’s conditions of entry, anyone aged 15 or under must be accompanied by an adult, and people who arrive late may not be admitted until there is a suitable break in the game. The Ticketek Box Office is open on event days and usually opens 30 minutes before the external gates, which Translink listed as 3pm for the 15 November game.

Which tickets are real?

The event pages say tickets are on sale through Ticketek and warns against buying from unauthorised resale websites, because of the risk of invalid or fraudulent tickets. The venue’s conditions of entry also say a ticket bought at a premium or from an unauthorised seller can mean refused entry, and that buying through a reseller for more than 10% above face value can lead to prosecution. The venue says general ticketing enquiries go to Ticketek.

What help is there for accessibility?

Accessible seating is in the main seating bowl, and the venue says to say you need it when you buy tickets. Bookings go through the venue’s online accessibility form or by email to tix@brisent.com.au, which the venue says is monitored from 9am to 5pm on weekdays, so contact it before the day. Government-issued Companion Card holders get a free carer ticket if it is booked at the time of purchase, and the cardholder collects it from the Box Office on the day. Mobility aid charging stations are on Levels 1 and 2. Sunflower lanyards, used to show a hidden disability, can be collected from Administration on Level 1.

Other facilities listed in the FAQs include a Parents Room on the main concourse (Level 2) opposite Door 8, and first aid rooms opposite Doors 3 and 12 on Level 2. Patrons who need to bring medical supplies are asked to register the date they are attending by emailing bec@brisent.com.au or calling the Centre on (07) 3265 8111.

What else is on at the Centre?

The venue’s list for the same weeks includes Iron Maiden on 18 and 19 November, J. Cole on 25 November, Gabriel Iglesias on 10 December, A$AP Rocky on 14 December and Queens of the Stone Age on 18 December. Our guides cover Iron Maiden and J. Cole.
