There are a number of options for the Purple Army to get to Optus Stadium for Freo’s first AFL game at Optus Stadium on Saturday against Essendon.
Bouncedown is at 5:10pm but plan ahead and get there early, as there’s plenty happening in and around the ground in the lead up to the game.
The best and cheapest option is via bus or train, with free public transport included three hours pre and three hours post match with every ticket and Fremantle game-access membership.
