Alcohol-Free Seating in the Members’ Area: There are two designated alcohol-free seating bays (bays TBC) which are located on Level 3 of the western stand in the Members' Area. This seating will be available on a “first come, first served” basis.
SACA Members' Area Free Reserved Seat Stickers: SACA Members and their guests will receive a free reserved seat sticker upon entry at the Members' gates. Members must collect their sticker upon entry as they will not be handed out at any other time. Strictly one sticker is issued per eligible person.
Reserved seat stickers can be used to reserve a seat in the Members' Area from gate opening until the start of play, and again during the innings break for one hour. Outside of these times, stickers are not valid for seat reservation.
SACA Members Children and Grandchildren: Children 9 years of age or younger (as at 31 August 2025) can gain free access to the ground if accompanying their parent or grandparent who is a SACA Member (not available to Transferable Associate Cardholder's children). If a Member's child has turned 10 years of age on or before 31 August 2025, they can no longer gain free access to the ground with the Member. They can enter on either their own Junior Membership, a Transferable Associate Card, or on a Member Daily Guest Pass. Members with children or grandchildren under 10 are encouraged to place their child's name on the waitlist for Membership as soon as possible.
SACA Member Daily Seat Holds (Pre-Reserved Seating):

Seats in these designated bays that are not purchased will remain available for general Member use on match day.
Please note: Daily Seat Holds reserve your seat but do not include entry. SACA Member guests will need their own Member Card, Transferable Associate Card, or Daily Guest Pass to enter the Members Area.
