Mature-age recruit Burgess' mum has booked a mini-bus to drive 10 family members from Adelaide, while grandparents and friends are taking to the skies to get to the game.
Number-two draft pick Lukosius is also from South Australia and expecting plenty of support from the stands against the Saints.
"I've got a big crew coming," the 18-year-old said. "A lot of my family there, my girlfriend - all my friends are piling up in a car and they'll be heading over as well early Sunday morning."
Fellow South Australians Jordan Murdoch, Jack Hombsch and George Horlin-Smith may also bring a crowd across the border as they make their first appearance for the Suns.
