Additional capacity on Mana and Go Wellington services will be operating after the match on demand and where necessary from Lambton Interchange (Wellington Railway Station) Bus Stops.

If you do drive, be aware that you’re unlikely to be able to park in your usual match-day spot, due to the popularity of the game, and allow at least 30 minutes to walk from your car to the stadium.

Bunny Street will be open for taxi and public drop off at the railway station only. Thorndon Quay and Featherston Street to Whitmore Street will be closed for about 30 minutes after the match.

There will be no drop-off or pick-ups at the Stadium so plan ahead if you’re getting a lift to the game. You can drop off in Hinemoa Street by CentrePort, Thorndon Quay by the Thorndon spiral to the Fran Wilde walk. Also consider carpooling with your friends and neighbours.

Most importantly enjoy the game and GO THE HURRICANES!
