"Public transport is the best way to get to Sydney Olympic Park and is made even easier for ticket holders for the Sheeran and Styles concerts because the cost of travel on public transport is included in your ticket – just show your event ticket to transport staff when boarding services.
"We'll have plenty of frequent trains and major event buses running to and from Sydney Olympic Park. All the details on extra services are available at"Fans should plan to arrive early to avoid the increased demand on public transport and heavy traffic. Queuing should also be expected for services as customers head home."
