About 70,000 Oasis fans are expected to travel to Sydney Olympic Park each night to see the Gallaghers brothers perform live at Accor Stadium across two sold-out shows on Friday 7 and Saturday 8 November.
Transport for NSW Coordinator-General Howard Collins said fans are urged to use public transport, which is included in their concert tickets.
“Oasis fans have waited a long time for this sold-out reunion tour. With Oasis only playing Sydney and Melbourne shows on the Australian leg of their world tour, fans travelling locally and interstate are encouraged to plan their trip and consider the many public transport options available to get to and from Olympic Park each night,” Mr. Collins said.
“Extra transport services including express trains and major event buses will be running frequently from mid-afternoon. Fans are encouraged to get there early and enjoy the buzzing pre-show atmosphere in the precinct.
“Travel on all modes of public transport is included in Oasis concert tickets. Simply show your ticket to transport staff when boarding services.”
Express trains will run frequently from Central Station to Olympic Park from mid-afternoon, with return services running after the show until late. Fans travelling from the west can change at Lidcombe to connect with direct trains to Olympic Park.
Major Event Buses to Sydney Olympic Park will run frequently on all nine routes between 3:30pm and 7pm each day. The last return bus on each route will leave Olympic Park at midnight, about an hour after the show has finished.
Fans who need to drive must pre-book parking ahead of time to secure a space.
“If you need to drive, pre-book parking online to secure a spot as spaces are expected to sell out in advance. Alternatively, consider parking at a station commuter car park and continuing your trip by train or bus to Olympic Park, at no extra cost.
“Motorists should allow plenty of extra travel time on the roads as heavy traffic is expected on approach to Olympic Park each night, particularly during the busy Friday evening peak for the first show.”
After the show, traffic will be very heavy as everyone leaves the precinct at the same time. Fans should expect to allow up to an hour of additional travel time to exit car parks.
There is no major trackwork on the rail network taking place on Friday 7 or Saturday 8 November.
L1 Dulwich Hill Light rail services are not running between Convention and Central Grand Concourse due to planned maintenance until last service Friday 7 November (1am Saturday). Services continue to run between Convention and Dulwich Hill.
