Every match day there is a very special part of the Gabba which boasts the best seats in the house and is custom designed and catered for the most special of VIPs, it’s called the Hyundai Help For Kids iView.

The iView will host a Superheroes themed party, with thanks to our Match Day Partner, Hyundai.
