Thousands of Hyundai A-League fans will be heading to Moore Park for the first Sydney Derby of the 2017/18 season. Traffic will be heavy and parking will be limited – leave the car at home and catch a shuttle bus to the precinct from Central station or you can also walk via Foveaux or Devonshire streets.
Valid pre-purchased match tickets include travel to and from Allianz Stadium on:
- Train services (bounded by Bomaderry, Goulburn, Bathurst and Dungog stations).
- Regular and special event shuttle buses.
- Sydney Ferries services.
- Light rail services.
Remember to keep your ticket safe for your return journey or you’ll need to use your Opal card, as you must have a valid ticket when travelling on public transport. Your match ticket is valid on public transport until 04:00 the following day.
Note: an additional station access fee applies for travel to or from Domestic and International Airport stations. Your event ticket does not include the access fee, so if you’re travelling from these stations you’ll need to pay the train station access fee.
