Footy Ferries 2024
Calling all footy supporters in Geelong and the Bellarine. This year we are changing things up with our new 2 Way, Same Day Footy Packages. When you book a Footy Ferry Special you get a 2 way package to the footy and home again.
Also this year’s ⭐️ Footy Ferry Specials will be running out of Portarlington which has a lot more parking available, and the timetable caters for more games to a wider range of supporters. Plus the new timetable gives you more time to get to the ground before and after games.

Game Day Packs
2 Way, Same Day Footy Package
This year we are introducing a range of discounted Game Day Packs that will give you exclusive access to the ⭐️ Footy Ferry Specials that we’ll be running throughout the 2024 AFL season.
Each Game Day Pass consists of a return trip from Portarlington and back on the same day. Available for purchase in 3 and 5 game bundles, you’ll have the choice to purchase adult packs or a range of different family packs. Either way you will be paying a lot less per trip with these packs than purchasing tickets separately.
