189<p class="intro">Flying into Melbourne Airport for the football action? You&#39;ll want to know how to get to the MCG from the airport, so read on!</p>
190
191<p>First, you&#39;ll want to hop on our Melbourne City Express service to Southern Cross Station &ndash; there&#39;
191s no need to book in advance, just turn up and buy a ticket from our handy cashless e-kiosks!</p>
192
193<p>You&rsquo;ll arrive at Southern Cross Station, a major interchange where you can easily connect to Melbourne&#39;s extensive public transport network, including metro and regional trains, plus the <a href="https://www.ptv.vic.gov.au/assets/PDFs/Maps/Network-maps/5b4a3efe80/PTV-Free-Tram-Zone-Map.pdf" target="_blank">Free Tram Zone</a>.</p>
194
195<p>Note, you&rsquo;ll need to have a valid Myki pass to travel on public transport in Victoria, including once you leave the Free Tram Zone. These cannot be used on SkyBus, but can be purchased at machines inside the airport and around Southern Cross Station.</p>
196
197<h4>How to get to the MCG by Train</h4>
198
199<p>You can catch a train from Southern Cross Station to Jolimont Station, accessible via the Mernda or Hurstbridge train lines. From Jolimont station, it&rsquo;s an easy stroll through the park to your designated gate.</p>
200
201<h4>How to get to the MCG by Tram</h4>
202
203<p>Head onto Spencer Street and hop on the 48 tram &ndash; remember to touch on your Myki once you leave the Free Tram Zone (there will be an announcement).  Alight at Stop 11 - Jolimont Station-MCG/Wellington Pde (East Melbourne). From there, cross over the footbridge and stroll through the park to the gates.  </p>
204
205<p>Enjoy the match! Remember your hat and sunscreen &ndash; or green and gold zinc cream if you&rsquo;re feeling patriotic!</p>
