After a long hiatus, the Newcastle Away Supporters Buses in conjunction with Port Stephens Coaches are back. These are for any Newcastle Jets supporters wishing to attend the final round of the regular A-League season on Sunday 25th March 2012 against Sydney FC at the Sydney Football Stadium.
These buses are a great option for younger supporters and families as they are a direct service picking up from the carpark at Hunter Stadium and dropping off out the front of the SFS. The 55 seat luxury buses are strictly alcohol-free.
We have tried to make the prices cost-effective as possible for supporters, as well as introducing a family ticket. These buses are also a way the active supporters groups fund tifo such as the flags, banners and displays such as the massive NEWCASTLE drop down banner display on the 3rd Dec 2011, and the giant gold pullover banner at the Grand Final in 2008. So your patronage also helps the gameday experiences of all Jets supporters at Hunter Stadium, and we thank you for contributing.
These services going ahead next season depend entirely on patronage so please let your friends and family know. Its the final game of the season and most likely for a spot in the finals, so it would be great to get a massive group of travelling fans to cheer the boys on!
Cost (return from Newcastle)
Adult $30, Children (u/16 yrs) $25, Family (2a 2c or 1a 3ch) $100
Prices do include a non-refundable $1 booking fee per person, however in the event of the service being cancelled the booking fee will be covered by the active supporters and all monies will be refunded. The buses will depend strictly on numbers, a decision will be made a week prior to the fixture whether the service is confirmed.
