GETTING THERE AND ENTRY TO THE GROUND
There will be limited parking at the ‘G on Sunday, with only accredited passholders and disability permit holders having access to the carpark, so we recommend looking at alternative transportation methods. The stadium is only a short walk from both Jolimont and Richmond Stations.
For those that do have parking access, the following gates will be open: Gate seven from 1:30pm, gate three from 4pm and gate five from 4:30pm.
*Parking alert: Access to parking is restricted to accredited passholders and disability permit holders only.
Supporters are advised to check for disruptions before they travel, with buses replacing trains on multiple lines and closed roads over the weekend. Check the PTV app or website before travelling and allow extra time for your journey.
