Getting to and from the Nines is easy with public transport
The Dick Smith NRL Auckland Nines are back this weekend for a second sold-out year. It’s become one of the biggest events on Auckland’s sporting calendar. The Nines are at Eden Park this Saturday and Sunday, 31 January and 1 February.
Public transport is the easiest way to get to and from the park, travel on trains and special event buses is included with your game ticket. We will also be accepting tickets which are shown on your mobile device.
Bus
Special event buses will
operate to Eden Park from Northern Busway stations,
Takapuna, Manukau, Pakuranga, Botany, Newmarket, Mt Eden and
the central city.
Check our website for details of the special services, they kick-off from 10.30 on Saturday morning and 9.30 on Sunday. The return trips leave from the Eden Park Transport Hub between 7.00 and 9.00 on Saturday and Sunday evenings.
Train
Travel on
special trains starts from 3 hours before kick-off, until
the end of service with your game ticket. Remember to keep
your ticket for the ride
home.

Additional trains will
operate on the Western Line. Event trains travel to
Kingsland station, which is a quick walk across the road
from Eden Park. On the return travelling West, some trains
will depart from Kingsland station. Additional trains will

timetable carefully. A mobility shuttle will be operating
from Sandringham Road just down from Walters Road, between

Grafton.
