Can I travel to/from the domestic or international Airport station?
Patrons presenting membership cards or tickets for travel to, or from, the Airport’s domestic or international train stations will need to pay the airport station access fee. The new travel deal does not include the station access fee for these two stops.

You can take the train through these stations, but if patrons board or disembark at one of the two airport stations, they will need to use their Opal/Credit Card to pay the full station access fee. 

Does this apply to all home games at the SCG?
Yes. It will also apply to any home finals the Swans might host at the SCG. 

Does this apply to away games where the Sydney Swans are playing?
No, return public transport is included for Sydney Swans home games at the SCG only. Away game transport information will be available on the match day page of the Sydney Swans website and will always include relevant details on the upcoming match. 

How do you board public transport?
You simply show your membership card or ticket (either in hard copy or on mobile) to the attendant.

How do patrons who do not have public transport included in their membership or ticket access public transport?
These patrons simply use their Opal Card (or credit card on services where this is applicable) to pay for their transport. 

Are there time restrictions on using your ticket to get to the SCG?
Those holding eligible membership cards or tickets are able to access return public transport for the full day of the home match on relevant transport services to and from the SCG up until four hours on the day immediately following the match. 

What if a patron is collecting their ticket at the venue?
Patrons must be in possession of an eligible membership card or ticket (either in hard copy or on mobile) to access the return public transport that is included. Wherever possible, tickets should be collected in advance to avoid having to use an Opal Card/Credit Card to board public transport.
