Melbourne Storm will take on the Brisbane Broncos in the NRL showpiece, while Roosters will take on Broncos in the NRL women’s grand final.
Fans and visitors are being urged to use public transport to get to and from the game, with Transport for NSW Coordinator-General Howard Collins saying supporters have many options across the city and travel is included in match tickets.
“We are expecting thousands of interstate visitors to be in town cheering on their team and public transport will be the easiest way to get there for those going to the game,” Mr Collins said.
“There will be plenty of trains and major event buses running to and from Sydney Olympic Park to get supporters to the game and home afterwards.
“Travel on all modes of public transport is included in your match ticket – you just need to show your ticket to transport staff when getting on board.
“Keep in mind that this travel entitlement does not include the Sydney Airport train station access fee which needs to be paid separately.”
Express trains will run from Central and key Western Line stations to Olympic Park from early afternoon on Sunday, with return services running frequently after the match.
There will also be frequent trains between Lidcombe and Olympic Park until late.
Sydney Olympic Park major event buses will run every 5 to 20 minutes between 1.35pm and 6.14pm, depending on the route. Buses will run frequently after full- time to get fans home. The last bus on each route will leave Olympic Park by 11pm.
“We encourage fans to arrive early and soak up the atmosphere across the Olympic Park precinct,” Mr. Collins said.
“Stadium gates open at 1pm, followed by the State Championships Grand Final at 1.20pm. The NRLW Grand Final kick-off is at 3.55pm ahead of the NRL Grand Final kick-off at 7.30pm.
“Fans who need to drive must pre-book parking online before Sunday and consider carpooling. Traffic is expected to be heavy and local road closures will be in place.
“There’s also the option, for fans who are driving, to park at a commuter car park and continue their trip to Olympic Park by train.”
Ferry passengers are reminded that on the weekends of Saturday 4 to Monday 6 October, and Saturday 11 to Sunday 12 October, buses will replace ferry services between Parramatta and Sydney Olympic Park wharves due to electrical relocation work as part of the Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2 Enabling Works project.
Pre-game entertainment starts at 6.30pm ahead of the men’s NRL Grand Final kick- off at 7.30pm, with full time around 9.30pm.
