Do they change where the direct buses to the SCG are each home game from Central?

There was alot of confusion last Saturday about where they were and I had about 10 different people ask me if I knew where it was or if this was the right spot (I waited for one on Eddy Ave). Two fellas even said to me it was on Eddy Ave two weeks ago for the GWS game so I got confused. The one I took got us to Anzac Parade anyway so it wasn't much of an issue, just wanted to know for next time.

Yes.

The bus runs from Eddy Avenue or Chalmers St (the street that runs parallel to the station on the SCG side). All depends on the works for the light rail, check transportnsw website in the week before the game.
Some of the stops near the Entertainment Quarter will close for the light rail works.

You can also catch a 338 339 372 374 376 391 393 395 M10 from Eddy Ave. For a fraction of the special event bus fare.

i still didn't pay for the special event bus last week. i'm just going to assume bus drivers fancy me and take it as a win.

Or use an Opal Card, and get the special event bus for the same price as those mentioned above.

For an interstate supporter getting an Opal card requires at least a minimum of $10. Depending on their circumstances they may not be spending $10 on their possibly only visit to Sydney.

I was talking about getting a paper ticket for the normal buses versus a paper ticket for the special event buses.

$20 Minimum for an Adult, but in most cases will be coming from the Airport so there is about $14 straight off if doing the Train to the City.

Nah it's $10 minimum.

Also, if you're doing the airport and you have about an extra 25-30min , take the 400 bus to Mascot and take the train from there. Will save you about $14 one way and $25 return.

But $10, Won't get you through the Airport Station gates.
As for the Bus, a bit of a walk from Mascot Station to the Bus stop on Botany Road, so unless your desperate to save the money not practical imo.

 

[grimlock]

Bit of a walk = 3 minutes. Understandable if it's raining but otherwise it's a cinch

Hey team, a general question, I've downgraded from Gold to a Red Zone membership this year. Any tips on where to sit at the SCG? In the Ladies? Or aim for where in the Noble? Level 2? How quickly do they fill up?

Fills up really quickly mate. Expect to rock up at least 45 minutes prior to secure decent seats. Ground floor fills up last and upper stands fill up very quickly. For high demand games, turn up very early or reserve a seat through upgrading.

Also, you can't "hold" seats unless all of your party is in attendance and have their reserved stickers to hold their seats. Ladies stand is quite good overall but the food isn't as good as the new stand.

[grimlock]

Ladies are a better view because it's side on rather than behind one end of the goals. With it being a smaller stand it fills up quicker than the newer stands

The newer stands have nicer food and facilities

I would say it really starts filling up about 75min before opening bounce. If you turn up around then you can still get pretty good seats unless it's raining

Hope you don't mind me popping in, I promise I don't have any contagious diseases from WA.

A mate & I are coming over to your fine city to watch Swans/Eagles Fri night at SCG, but neither of us have been.
Hoping for some advice in terms of where to stay that's reasonably close to the ground (we're off to Melb the next morning).
Also what section should I look at for tickets? Pretty sure being mid June it'll be raining & don't feel like watching a probable loss in the wet.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure where you should stay but I'd be looking for tickets in the Brewongle or Victor Trumper stands in the second tier. Rarely get wet there...
