When do we arrive? – ARRIVE EARLY
BE APART OF THE NEW SKY BLUE MATCH DAY EXPERIENCE
Make sure to arrive early to witness enjoy our elevated Match Day experience from 3pm at the Entertainment Quarter, 3:30pm outside Gate 3 for our Sky Blue Fan Zone and then when gates open at 4pm until kick off.
Gates will open 90 minutes before kick off and with only two entry points, we recommend that you arrive as early as possible to avoid congestion closer to kick off.
There is a large crowd expected in the Moore Park area so we highly recommend that you arrive a lot earlier than planned, especially if you are driving.
With parking so tight around the area, we highly recommend arriving a few hours before kick off and enjoying the best of the Moore Park Area.
