Hobart Game

[Magnum27]

Hi heading to the game on Saturday and was wondering if anyone from around these parts went to the 1st game against against the Giants and can help me out with some info.

1. What would be the best option from the airport to get to the city centre, we plan to check out the city centre and markets before the game ?

2. How do you get to the ground from the city ?

Thanks in advance for any info.

1. get an airporter shuttle bus from the airport - a taxi can cost up to $60.
2. Metro Tas is running a free bus service from the CBD to the ground.

As mentioned, get an airport shuttle bus from the airport to the city, the price of a taxi down here is a lot higher than on the mainland due to lack of competition (less Taxis).

Alternatively hire a car from just outside the airport terminal.

2. How do you get to the ground from the city ?

Thanks in advance for any info.

Check out the www.metrotas.com.au site and look for the section about the 'Boundary Rider' service, Metro is running a free service from multiple areas to the ground and then back again after the game. (http://www.metrotas.com.au/alerts/v...h Melbourne vs West Coast on Saturday 7 July/)

If you're driving/taking a taxi go East out of the city (river side) and head over the Tasman Bridge, the turnoffs to Rosny/Bellerive are clearly marked on big green signage just past the bridge. You can also see the light towers of the oval once you cross the bridge, its in the southern area of the eastern shore.
