Sports and entertainment fans travelling to the new Allianz Stadium and Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) will have even more to cheer about with public transport now included in all event tickets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minister for Sport Alister Henskens said this is a huge victory for fans, ensuring they can get to and from both venues safely and seamlessly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere is nothing better than a live event experience, and to help provide greater access to some of our world class stadiums is an outstanding result for the supporters of the teams that call Allianz Stadium and the SCG home,\u201d Mr Henskens said.
\u201cSports fans can make the most of it this Thursday with the return of the Big Bash League, when the Sydney Sixers take on the Hobart Hurricanes at the SCG, which promises plenty of big-hitting action on-field and family-friendly entertainment \u2013 the perfect event to bring the whole family along to.\u201d
Minister for Transport, Veterans and Western Sydney David Elliott said catching public transport was the best way to get to the Moore Park area with world class transport infrastructure, including light rail, train and buses servicing the precinct.
\u201cAfter an extraordinary Socceroos performance at the FIFA World Cup, now\u2019s the perfect time to lock in your Christmas Eve entertainment at Allianz Stadium with the Sydney FC\u2019s A-League Derby double-header,\u201d Mr Elliott said.
\u201cSo whether you\u2019re a cricket, football, AFL, league or rugby fan, or off to see Elton John at Allianz Stadium in the New Year, we\u2019ve got you covered as you won\u2019t need to tap on and off with your Opal or contactless card, you just need to carry a copy of your event ticket.\u201d
This has been made possible thanks to the NSW Liberals and Nationals Government and the Moore Park sports teams and bodies including NSW Waratahs, Sydney FC, Sydney Roosters, Sydney Sixers, Sydney Swans, Football Australia, Cricket Australia and Rugby Australia.
Travel on public transport to the precinct is covered on match-days only for patrons with a valid ticket, club or stadium membership until 2025, on public transport servicing the Sydney metropolitan area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
