The event is being held in Sydney Olympic Park on the October long weekend and there is a public holiday in NSW on Monday (2nd October). The NRL (rugby league) Grand Final will be on the Sunday evening (1st October). This may make booking accommodation in the area difficult. However, if you are a NRL fan, this is a good opportunity to attend the grand final at the same time.
There is no car parking available inside the Armory. There are a small number of parking spaces available outside the entry gate but these have a 2-hour time limit and rangers do fine vehicles for overstaying. The car parks marked below are available all day and have no time limit. If both car parks are full, cars can park along the edge of Jamieson Street but note signage.
