Otago Regional Council is providing free travel for ticket holders on buses to support fans getting to games at the largest women’s sporting event to come to New Zealand.

Fans travelling to the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™ games on any bus service must show their match tickets to the driver to get free travel - valid for two hours before and two hours after the match.

Fans are also urged to try out the free, dedicated double-decker bus which will run between the Octagon and Dunedin Stadium (Forth Street terminus). The brightly wrapped bus will run every 30 minutes to take ticket holders and accredited staff to the games. Tickets must be shown to the driver.
