Raiders officials are considering how they will use the small ticket allocation provided for their home game against the Manly Sea Eagles at Campbelltown Stadium on Sunday.
Members would be given the first shot at securing tickets but Raiders officials are yet to delve too deeply into arrangements for the showdown.
It could be Canberra's last home game at Campbelltown Stadium after chief executive Don Furner lodged an appeal to bring the Raiders back to the capital from July 3.
"We haven't got anything from the NRL yet but we're concentrating on getting back here for round eight, that's our biggest push. That's what we're doing at the moment," Furner said.

The Raiders' move away from home has been a source of frustration with players and staff flying to Sydney and taking a bus to Campbelltown on game day before travelling straight home after the match.
But coach Ricky Stuart and his playing group are considering ditching the flight this weekend, which has been offered by the NRL for Raiders home games in Sydney.
They could instead opt in favour of a bus trip as they traditionally do for away games up the Hume Highway.
"We were happy with the bus, just having that time to prepare and you're not hanging around at the stadium," Raiders forward Ryan Sutton said.
"Obviously when we take the plane we get there a bit earlier and you're hanging about, and it's not an ideal situation.
"Getting on the bus and getting up there two hours before the game is going to be the go for us. It's something we've got to speak more about. We will hear more in the next few days."
