The new group purchase option is fantastic for a group of mates or families who want to attend one our biggest away trips of the season. Supporters can purchase their tickets via this link https://secure.jbs.com.au/pscoaches/bookings.aspx?TOUR=JETS&CAT=TOURS

The coach will pickup from Hunter Stadium (Hockey end of car park) at 150pm departing at 2pm, then pick up from Charlestown (Smart St bus stop east side of Pac Hwy) at 210pm, then pickup from Belmont (opposite old Go-Lo) at 225pm and finally pick up from Swansea (bus stop outside Black Swan Hotel) at 240pm. Coach will arrive at Central Coast Stadium by 4pm.

This service is provided for the benefit of all Jets supporters and is especially for families and younger supporters who want to attend an away game but don’t wish to travel by public transport and want a direct service to the stadium. We have tried to make the costs as cheap as possible in order to get as many supporters as we can to pack out the away bays.

These prices are for return coach travel only and do not include a match ticket. All patrons are strongly advised to purchase their match tickets prior to booking on the coach. Please be advised that food, drink, smoking and alcohol will not be permitted on board Port Stephens Coaches.

If the service is cancelled, customers will be notified and purchases will be refunded.

The coach service is booked by The Squadron on behalf of all Newcastle Jets supporters with Port Stephens Coaches.
