Fans are being encouraged to use public transport ahead of tomorrow night’s FIFA Women’s World Cup™ Semi Final and the Luke Combs concert, with around 300 additional services scheduled.
A combined crowd of nearly 100,000 fans will travel to the Sydney Olympic Park precinct for the FIFA Women’s World Cup™ Semi Final at Stadium Australia and the Luke Combs concert at neighbouring Qudos Bank Arena.
Ticketholders for each event are urged to catch public transport and leave the car at home as significant traffic delays are expected during the already busy evening peak.
Transport for NSW Acting Chief Operations Officer Craig Moran said hundreds of extra, frequent services would be in operation to get fans safely to and from Olympic Park.
“We encourage football fans to continue catching public transport to games – the best thing is your trip is included in your game ticket,” he said.
“More than 300 extra services, including express trains and Major Event Buses, will run to Sydney Olympic Park.”
FIFA Women’s World Cup™ match tickets include travel on public transport and plenty of additional services will run to Sydney Olympic Park including express trains and Major Event Buses. Luke Combs fans need to tap on and off services using an Opal card or contactless payment method.
All available car parks in Sydney Olympic Park are sold out on Wednesday, August 16. If you haven’t pre-booked a space you will need to catch public transport as there will be no on-site parking available.
If you have pre-booked parking, follow the directions of staff and have your parking ticket ready to show at the car park entry.
Alternatively, consider parking at a nearby train station commuter car park and continuing the trip to Sydney Olympic Park by train as frequent additional services will run.
Make a night of it and avoid the delays by arriving early to enjoy the pre-event atmosphere in the precinct. Local cafes and restaurants will be open throughout the day and night. Fig Grove, adjacent to the stadium, will also be a hub for food stalls and entertainment.
For fans heading to Commbank Stadium in Parramatta for the live site, Sydney Trains has additional services on the T1 Western Line until 1am to and from Parramatta Station where commuters can then walk to the stadium or use regular route buses.
