Membership Categories
Last season saw the successful launch of two new Membership categories in response to Member feedback for more choice. The Reserved Seat Membership and SACA Big Bash Membership, in addition to the traditional Full Membership product, present three tiers of SACA Membership.
Reserved Seat Membership
Reserved Seat Membership provides all the benefits of Full Membership, plus the confidence of a reserved seat at Adelaide Oval for Cricket Australia men’s international matches, which for this season includes the Men’s Test Match and T20 International.
The Reserved Seat Members seating area is in the prime location of bays 304 and 305 on Level Three of the Sir Edwin Smith Stand (western stand).
The Reserved Seat Membership sold out in its inaugural year last season. You can join the Reserved Seat Membership waitlist, if you haven’t already, when you renew your Full Membership. Existing Reserved Seat Members will have priority to renew into the same seat. Any remaining seats will be offered to those on the waitlist.
SACA Big Bash Membership
SACA Big Bash Membership provides access to the venue and SACA Members’ Area for just Men’s and Women’s Adelaide Strikers matches. If you choose to downgrade to a SACA Big Bash Membership, you will no longer be entitled to many of the rights and benefits of Full Membership and will be required to re-join the Full Membership waitlist if you later wish to upgrade back to Full Membership.
Full, Country or Junior Members who downgrade to a SACA Big Bash Membership, and later wish to upgrade to Full, Country or Junior Membership again, will be required to re-join the Full/Country/Junior Membership waitlist, wait to receive an offer and pay the Full/Country/Junior Membership Entrance Fee. The current Full/Country/Junior Membership waitlist length is approximately 2-3 years.
If you would like to shift to a SACA Big Bash Membership, please contact SACA Member Services on (08) 8300 3232.

Guest Access
Share your love of the game with friends and family. Members have the opportunity purchase a Transferable Associate Card and/or daily Guest Passes for eligible matches throughout the season, providing the user entry into the Adelaide Oval and SACA Members’ Area.
Transferable Associate Cards (season-long guest pass)
SACA Members have the opportunity to purchase a Transferable Associate Card each year for their guest to access all Cricket Australia international and domestic cricket matches at Adelaide Oval and Karen Rolton Oval, including Adelaide Strikers matches.
Transferable Associate Cards are available to Full, Country, Junior and Reserved Seat Members. Reserved Seat Members also have the option to upgrade to a Reserved Seat Transferable Associate Card. You are able to purchase a Transferable Associate Card or a Reserved Seat Transferable Associate Card (as applicable) at the point of renewing (subject to availability).
To prioritise Members over guests for access to cricket at Adelaide Oval, the Board will set a limit on the number of Transferable Associate Cards that can be sold each season, as is already done with daily Guest Passes. The limit set by the Board will be at a number greater than the highest ever historical Transferable Associate Card sales. Members who purchase a Transferable Associate Card, will be offered a priority period to buy a Transferable Associate Card the following season.
SACA Big Bash Members do not have the option to purchase a Transferable Associate Card but have the opportunity to purchase daily Guest Passes for Adelaide Strikers matches only.
Daily Guest Passes
Full, Country, Junior and Reserved Seat Members can also purchase daily Guest Passes for days 4 & 5 of the Test Match, the Men’s T20 International, the Women’s ODI and Adelaide Strikers matches, which provide entry into the Adelaide Oval and SACA Members' Area.
SACA Big Bash Members are entitled to purchased daily Guest Passes for Adelaide Strikers matches.
Members’ Children or Grandchildren Under 10 Years of Age
SACA Members’ children and grandchildren who are nine years of age or younger as at 1 September 2023 have free entry into Adelaide Oval when accompanying the SACA Member. For Full, Country, Junior and Reserved Seat Members, this entitlement relates to Cricket Australia international and domestic cricket matches, including Adelaide Strikers matches. For SACA Big Bash Members, this entitlement relates to Adelaide Strikers matches only.
Summer of Dining
Adelaide Oval is the envy of the sporting world for plenty of reasons, with just one of them being the incredible vantage points all over the ground. SACA Members have access to these areas throughout the summer, with the opportunity to enjoy unique and exclusive events such as the SACA Members Test Match Dinner, Adelaide Strikers Hospitality packages, match day dining, AFL Hospitality and so much more.
Enjoy great food, unparalleled views of the action and the company of fellow Members throughout the summer thanks to your SACA Membership.

2023/24 Fixture
The 2023/24 summer is headlined by three international fixtures, starting with a Men’s NRMA Insurance Test Match against the West Indies on January 17-21. Our all-conquering national women’s team will take on South Africa in a One Day International at Adelaide Oval on February 3 before the international summer is capped off with a Men’s T20 International against the West Indies on February 11.
After winning a maiden Championship in WBBL|08, our Women’s Strikers will be back better than ever looking to repeat history. Our all-conquering home-grown talents Megan Schutt, Tahlia McGrath and Darcie Brown are set to light up the field after a packed year of Australian representation, and it doesn’t stop with them! WBBL|09 will be the first year the WBBL will hold a Draft - an opportunity for us to secure the best in international talent.
In the BBL|13 season, Adelaide Oval will host five home games, headlined by our annual New Year’s Eve match. Prepare yourself for a packed Adelaide Oval, full of entertainment on and off the ground. Need we remind you of our record breaking performances last season, including the ‘All-Out-15’ and record 230 run-chase. With last season’s Player Of The Tournament Matt Short leading the way in big list signings, you won’t want to miss a moment.
The SA Scorpions are aiming to go one step further next season with a very similar squad, after a nail-biting WNCL Grand Final loss in February. Our West End Redbacks have welcomed some fresh recruits to their squad and will be hoping to continue to make strides after a Marsh One Day Cup Final appearance and more Marsh Sheffield Shield wins.
