Adelaide Oval: what to know before you go

Adelaide Oval is one of Australia’s most loved stadiums — famous for cricket, AFL and big concerts. It holds about 53,500 fans and mixes old brick stands with modern views. If you’re planning to go, a little prep makes the day smoother and more fun.

Getting to Adelaide Oval

The Oval sits right by the city, so public transport is often the easiest choice. Trains to Adelaide Station and nearby bus routes drop you within a 10–20 minute walk. On big match days trams and extra buses run, but schedules change — check Adelaide Metro for event timetables. Driving? Parking is limited and roads near the stadium can be closed before and after events. If you must drive, book a parking spot in advance and expect a 15–30 minute walk to exits after the final whistle.

Want to avoid crowds? Arrive an hour early or stay longer after the event to let queues thin out. Walking from the city centre is pleasant most times, but wear comfy shoes — the path can be uneven in parts.

Matchday tips: tickets, seating and what to bring

Buy tickets from the official Adelaide Oval site or the event organiser to avoid scams. Most events use e-tickets on your phone, so screenshot them as backup. Entry checks are standard: clear bag rules and no large items. Bring ID if you’ve got special passes or memberships.

Picking seats matters. For cricket, lower side-on seats give the best sightlines. For AFL, seats behind the goals deliver loud, passionate atmosphere. Higher tiers are great for a full view of the field and feel better on sunny days. If shade is your priority, choose a seat on the western side in afternoon games.

Food and drink at the Oval covers local pies, sandwiches, vegetarian options and craft beers. Card payments are widely accepted but it’s handy to have a small amount of cash. If you need quiet or family space, look for family zones or quieter concourse areas — staff can point you in the right direction.

Accessibility is well supported: accessible seating, ramps and dedicated toilets are available. If you have mobility needs, book early and contact stadium services to confirm arrangements. For parents, baby change facilities exist in several locations — check the event map when you arrive.

Weather in Adelaide can swing. Summers feel hot and dry, so bring sunscreen, a hat and water. Winters are cool and can be windy; a light jacket and layers work best. If rain is likely, a compact waterproof layer beats an umbrella in crowded seats.

Last tip: plan your exit. If you want to linger for food or photos, head to nearby riverside cafes or the Adelaide Festival Centre. If you’re catching public transport, leave a little early to avoid the big rush. Enjoy the atmosphere — Adelaide Oval is one of those places where the crowd turns a match into an event.
