Important Travel Advice

Ticketholders are urged to plan their trip and consider all the available travel options ahead of time.  

Public transport is the best way to get to the SCG with frequent light rail and buses servicing the Moore Park area. Travel on transport is included in your ticket to the game so leave the car at home as parking will be in high demand. 

Trains and Metro services run regularly to the City where you can connect with frequent light rail services to Moore Park. The Moore Park light rail stop is located a short walk across from the SCG.  

Consider walking between Central and Moore Park via Devonshire Street and the Albert ‘Tibby’ Cotter Walkway to avoid the queues for transport services before and after the match. See the Moore Park walking route map (pdf 550KB) to find your way. 

Plenty of regular route buses also make stops along Anzac Parade and Oxford Street nearby. 

If you have to drive, expect delays on roads approaching the precinct as fans travel to the match. Carpool with your group as parking will be in high demand and will fill quickly.  Delays are also expected leaving the precinct as A-League fans travel to Allianz Stadium for a 7.35pm kick-off. You can find real-time traffic conditions at livetraffic.com.  

Parking is available near the SCG at the Entertainment Quarter Wilson car park, grass car parks on Driver Avenue, and Sydney Boys & Girls High School car park off Cleveland Street. A flat rate event parking fee will apply.
