RSL volunteers will be selling ANZAC pins to raise money for the ANZAC Appeal.
The Port Club
With Sunday’s twilight timeslot, it’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy a meal at The Port Club before the game from 12pm. Supporters can then catch the bus from Port Road (end of Brougham Place) into Adelaide Oval or take the train from the Alberton or Cheltenham station.
Call 8447 9902 to make a booking for a meal.
March from the Mall
The March from the Mall has been huge for our first two home games and we’re again expecting thousands of Port Adelaide supporters to march through the city to Adelaide Oval, led by the Cheer Squad and drummers.
Supporters are asked to meet outside the Myer Centre at 2.30pm for a 2.50pm departure.

A limited number of general admission tickets are available to Sunday’s blockbuster. The club encourages supporters to pre-purchase tickets through Ticketek here.
