More than 40 000 spectators are expected at the game, which is part of the Stormers’ Summer Series at the stadium.
‘We encourage spectators to arrive early to avoid the traffic rush,’ says City’s MMC for Safety and Security Alderman JP Smith.
‘There’s limited parking in the Green Point precinct, so park in the CBD instead and take the free MyCiTi shuttle or the Fan Walk to get to the stadium. Our City services will be working with the event organiser to manage traffic and public safety.’
Gates will open at 4:30pm, with the match scheduled for a 7:30pm kick-off.
A free MyCiTi shuttle service is available to ticket holders from 4pm, departing from the Civic Centre, Thibault Square and the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC).
The last bus will depart the stadium and the Green Point precinct at 10:30pm.
At the CTICC, the shuttle will operate from the City Sightseeing bus stop near Entrance 3 on Walter Sisulu Avenue. Approximately 1 000 parking bays are available at the CTICC at a cost. Parking opens at 3:30pm, and online bookings are available to secure a spot.
For those driving into the city centre, the City will open its parking areas at the Civic Centre for ticket holders from 3:30pm. The parking bays, accessible from Hertzog Boulevard incoming and on Civic Road, will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. The parking will close at midnight.
Paid parking is also available at Parkalot and Jack Craig Street, as well as at Harbour Arch on Harbour Arch Boulevard. Off-street parking, free from 1pm on Saturdays, is also available in the CBD.
Residents and motorists are advised that Fritz Sonnenberg Road, Stephan Way, Vlei Road and Granger Bay Boulevard will be impacted from 6am until after the game.
