TRANSPORT INFORMATION

• Fans are encouraged to drive with their group and take advantage of the discounted parking flat rate of $20 at Sydney Olympic Park car parks. Parking will be in high demand on the night so pre-book your parking online, available until 11:59pm Friday 15 January, to guarantee yourself a space.
• Traffic may be heavy on roads approaching the precinct so allow extra travel time and plan to arrive early.
