Which nights should you book for Wellington Phoenix v Newcastle Jets?

Some supporters choose to stay the night before as well — especially if arriving late in the day or wanting a relaxed start — but that depends on your travel plans. Since kick-off time isn’t specified and evening fixtures are common for A-League matches, allow for the possibility of a late finish; booking the night of the match is strongly advised.
