Their club has its sights set on another AFL crown and Sydney Swans fans will also be winners in the 2020 season with a new public transport ticketing deal.
Memberships and tickets to Swans games at the Sydney Cricket Ground at Moore Park will include return travel on trains, metro, buses, ferries and Sydney’s new light rail services.
The new deal will be in place for the Swans first home game in 2020 - their battle with Essendon on March 27.
“The new turn-up-and-go light rail will transform the city and facilitate the movement of people, particularly event crowds, to and from the city and south east,’’ said Transport for NSW Coordinator-General Marg Prendergast.

“There has never been an easier and more reliable way for Swans fans to travel to home clashes by public transport - trams will drop off event-goers on the doorstep of the SCG at the new Moore Park light rail stop.
“About one third of AFL fans travel from Sydney’s northern suburbs and another third hail from the south, so we’ll be directly benefiting these customers with light rail connections to the SCG on top of other transport options.”
Light rail will run regular services between Circular Quay and Randwick as well as additional, frequent express shuttle services between Central and Moore Park for major games during the season. Extra services will run to get everyone home afterwards as well.
“We’re thrilled to not only be extending our partnership with Transport for NSW but to also be making it easier and more affordable for Swans fans to get to games,” Sydney Swans CEO Tom Harley said.

“Our members and supporters have told us that the inclusion of public transport in ticketing is important to them, so we’re pleased to deliver by including return public transport to the SCG in Sydney Swans memberships and tickets.
“With the new light rail soon to commence, it will be easier than ever to get to the SCG and we’re looking forward to welcoming Sydney Swans fans to plenty of big matches in season 2020.”
Fans choosing to walk between Central and Moore Park via Devonshire Street and the Albert ‘Tibby’ Cotter Walkway will also be able to make use of the new Anzac Parade Pedestrian Bridge, which is soon to open, allowing for an easier and safer crossing over Anzac Parade.
