During the competition, public transport systems and roadways will be under increased pressure. At certain times and locations, high demand will increase the time it takes to make a journey. We recommend that you allow plenty of time to travel to venues. Stadium gates open generally two hours prior to the commencement of a match (first match in case of double headers), so consider planning ahead, travelling early and relaxing once you arrive at the stadium so that you can better enjoy the match and atmosphere.

No. Access to the stadium will only be granted upon presentation of a valid ticket, therefore it is necessary to choose your ticket delivery method carefully or plan to collect your tickets with plenty of time before the start of the match.
