Sydney might not always get the credit, but when it comes to live sports, this city truly delivers. From the roar of the crowd at Accor Stadium to the historic pitches of the SCG, Sydney is a sports lover’s playground. And the best part? Getting to these venues is quick, easy and often free with your event ticket, thanks to Sydney’s efficient public transport network.
So whether you're heading to the NRL Grand Final, a summer Test at the SCG or a live concert at Olympic Park, here’s how to get there stress-free using public transport.
