SACA Member Guest Information

Welcome to the Christmas Test at Adelaide Oval!

You’ve been invited to experience one of cricket’s most iconic events as a guest of a SACA Member. To help you make the most of your day, this guide includes some helpful information for you to enjoy the Members’ Area.

Members’ Area Entry

Member Card 

As a guest of a SACA Member, you will enter the Members’ Area by scanning the red Transferable Associate Card or a Daily Guest Pass (available on Day 4 only). Photos or copies of cards will not be accepted. 

Please ensure that the Transferable Associate Card is visible at all times when entering and moving within the Members’ Area. Random spot checks will take place throughout the day to ensure compliance with this policy. If a breach occurs, the Member may face penalties, including suspension of their Membership and loss of Member benefits and cricket access for a specified period. 

Please note, the SACA Member Card is strictly for use by the Member only and cannot be shared.  

More information on the misuse of SACA Member Cards can be found here.

SACA Member and Cricket Etiquette

To help ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for everyone, we ask all Members and guests to respect a few important match day behaviours. 

These include limiting movement during play, avoiding mobile phone use that may distract other patrons, and complying with all Conditions of Entry. For the complete list of Member Etiquette guidelines, please visit our information page here. 

SACA Members are responsible for the behaviour of their guests. Any breach of the terms and conditions or incidents involving a guest may result in penalties for the Member, including suspension of Membership and loss of Member benefits and cricket access for a specified period. 

Members' Area Dress Standards

The SACA Members’ Area at Adelaide Oval is a special place. While fashions have evolved over the years, the tradition remains the same: it is a space to celebrate the occasion by dressing appropriately. 

We kindly ask all Members and their guests to review the Members’ Area Dress Standards before attending the cricket to ensure a smooth experience at the gates. SACA reserves the right to refuse entry to any Member or guest if their attire is deemed unsuitable. These standards apply to all patrons aged ten years and over. 

Please take a moment to review the Dress Standards here. 

Members’ Area Seating

Seating in the Members’ Area is non-allocated and is available on a ‘first-come, first-served’ basis. Members and their guests can select any available seat in the Chappell Stand, Sir Donald Bradman Pavilion and the Sir Edwin Smith Stand (western stand), as well as  Levels 1, 3 and 5 of the Riverbank Stand. 

Bays 314 and 315 in Level 3 of the Chappell Stand are designated alcohol-free zones. 

Wheelchair and mobility-impaired seating is available in the western stand and Riverbank Stands, subject to availability on the day.

Reserved Seat Stickers

One Member. One Seat. One Sticker. 
Secure your seat using our Reserved Seat Sticker system:  

• Collect your Reserved Seat Sticker from SACA or venue staff upon entry. Only one sticker will be issued per person, per day and cannot be collected on behalf of another Member or guest.
• Find an available seat and record the section, row, and seat number on your sticker.
• Place the sticker on your seat and retain the tear-off portion for the day. 

 Please note: seat holding and leaving gaps between seats is not permitted.  

When You Can Reserve a Seat 

Reserved Seat Stickers can only be used on unreserved seats in the western stand and Riverbank Stand, and are valid during the following reservation periods: 

• From gate opening until the start of play 

• Lunch Break (40 minutes) 

• Tea Break (20 minutes) 

You must return to your seat before the reservation period ends. Outside these times, unattended seats become available for other patrons. 

If you no longer require your seat for the day, please remove your Reserved Seat Sticker and dispose of it in the nearest bin. 

Reserved Seat Sticker Conditions 

Reserved Seat Stickers only reserve your seat during the reservation periods. Outside these times, seats must be occupied to remain reserved. 

Following each reservation period, SACA staff and ushers may remove stickers from unattended seats, making them available for other patrons.
