VENUE INFORMATION/PUBLIC TRANSPORT
- With stadium capacities increasing, fans are encouraged to consider all the available travel options ahead of time as public transport continues to operate at a reduced capacity to maintain physical distancing across the network.
- Fans are encouraged to drive where possible and use the available carparks on-site and within walking distance of the SCG including the Entertainment Quarter car park, Driver Ave grass car parks and Anzac Parade Sydney Boys and Girls High School car parks. Clearways will also be in effect on roads around the stadium so check signs carefully. Visit livetraffic.com for more details.
- Allow extra travel time on the roads and plan to arrive early as parking in the area will be in high demand and traffic may be heavy during the evening peak.
- If you’re travelling by taxi or rideshare, use Driver Ave or Errol Flynn Blvd as the drop off location. After the game roads will be busy as fans leave the precinct so consider a pick-up point away from the stadium.
- If you’re catching public transport fans are reminded that services will be busy during the Friday evening peak so allow plenty of time getting to the game as you may need to wait for the next service with available physical distancing capacity. Use an Opal card or contactless payment method when travelling on transport.
- Plan ahead using the Trip Planner and transport apps to check real-time capacity indicators where available. Remember to practise physical distancing when on-board transport services and to look for the ‘green dots’ to find the safest places to sit or stand.
- The closest train stations to the SCG are Central and Bondi Junction. From Central you can catch a light rail or shuttle bus to Moore Park leaving from Chalmers St. From Bondi Junction catch one of the many buses from the Interchange to Oxford St to get within short walking distance of the SCG.
- Fans are urged to consider walking between Central and Moore Park via Devonshire St and the Albert ‘Tibby’ Cotter Walkway to minimise wait times for transport services.
- After the game, transport services will be busy so consider walking or delaying your trip home to avoid the longer queues. Additional measures and staff will be in place to safely manage crowds leaving the precinct so be patient, practise physical distancing while in queues and follow the directions of staff on site.
- Wearing a face mask while travelling on public transport is also strongly recommended. Fans are encouraged to keep their face masks on until they reach their seats inside the stadium.
