Getting to GIO Stadium
While driving is an option, it is highly suggested to find an alternative mode of transportation due to the limited availability of parking resources.

Parking at the venue is limited, so be sure to arrive early. General parking is $10, but for Brumbies and Raiders games we suggest arriving 45 minutes before kick-off time for a reduced $5 fee. Parking entry is via Battye Street (West) or Agar Street (East).
Overflow Parking
Overflow car parking is available at the University of Canberra with a 20-minute walk to GIO Stadium. Buses may also pick up from College St, however, it is a good idea to check timetables to confirm.
