How have the AFL not confirmed sales date for round 1 tickets???

Someone on reddit posted that they would go on sale 11th of Feb but I found it hard to believe it wouldn’t have been officially announced by now if that were the case.

They haven't announced it

Silly State of Origin is their focus at the moment

Reckon they will announce it next Monday
