If you’re leaving the concert via Uber, the pick up point will be on War Memorial Drive on the other side of Montefiore Road.
Riverbank Bridge
The Riverbank Bridge is open, however as a result of the construction works on the south side of the river, access will be limited. People are encouraged to use either King William Road or the Morphett Street Bridge to access the stadium and when leaving the venue after the event, as these will be the quickest routes. You can find more information on the Adelaide Riverbank App – available here
Toilets
While Adelaide Oval has adequate toilet facilities for a capacity crowd, there will be an additional overlay of bathrooms at the northern and southern end of the ground and behind the western stands to help cater to the large number of fans who will be seated on the Oval.
Parking
Limited parking will be available in the East Car Park and University Lane, located off Pennington Terrace. Persons with disabled permits will be able to park in the East Car Park.
Get To Adelaide Oval Early
Please familiarise yourself with the seating map of Adelaide Oval and plan to arrive early. Gates will open at 5.30pm and you are encouraged to get there as early as possible to avoid queues and prepare for a fabulous night of entertainment. As with all major events, bag checks and security wanding will apply so please be patient and work with the staff to ensure a safe experience. The concert starts at 7:30pm sharp, so please leave yourself plenty of time to get into position.
