Entry Gates
Members and their guests can enter via any gate, but some gates offer more direct access to the Members’ Area depending on the fixture:
Please see specific Match Day Information for each match for details regarding entry gates and opening times.
Men’s International (ODI & Test Match):
South Gate (off War Memorial Drive – Members’ Only)
For the first time this year, the South Gate at the Riverbank Stand will serve as an exclusive entrance for Members and their guests during the Men's One Day International and the Ashes Test Match.
This entrance provides direct access to Member seating on Level 1 of the Riverbank Stand. For seating on Levels 3 and 5, Members can use the escalators located by the Don Bradman Museum—just to the left upon entering through the South Gate.
To access Level 1 seating in the Western Stand, the best route is to walk behind (in front of) the Don Bradman Museum and follow the oval westward.
For Level 3 seating in the Western Stand, we recommend entering through the leftmost accessible gates in the Southern Stand. From there, continue left and pass through the open double glass doors to enter via the rear of the Western Stand.
Clarrie Grimmett Gate (Northern entrance off Pennington Terrace – Members’ Only)
Located directly off Pennington Terrace, this dedicated Members Gate provides convenient access for Members and their guests into the exclusive Members Area behind the Western Stand. From here, an off-ramp and stairway offer direct access to seating on Levels 1, 2, and 3 of the Western Stand.
Big Bash League, Women's Big Bash League, Domestic Cricket, and Women's Internationals
Clarrie Grimmett Gate (Northern entrance off Pennington Terrace – Members’ Only)
Located directly off Pennington Terrace, this dedicated Members Gate provides convenient access for Members and their guests into the exclusive Members Area behind the Western Stand. From here, an off-ramp and stairway offer direct access to seating on Levels 1, 2, and 3 of the Western Stand.
South Gate (off War Memorial Drive – Shared Entry )
For all remaining fixtures the South Gate in the Riverbank Stand will be a shared entrance for SACA Members and the general public. SACA Members entering the venue via this gate, will need to access the Members' Area through a Member crossover.
Member crossovers are located in front of bays 120-122 on level 1 of the Riverbank Stand, as well as on Level 3 of the Riverbank Stand accessible via the escalators located next to the Don Bradman Museum - just to the left upon entering through the South Gate.
Bob Quinn Gate (Northern entrance – Shared Entry)
Alongside the Clarrie Grimmett Gate, this entrance is shared between Members and the public, granting immediate access to the family hill between the Western Stand and north sight screen. Members wishing to access the Members Area from this gate, will need to go through a cross over point that separates the two entrances inside the oval.
For best access immediately to the Western Stand, Members may also go through a Members cross over located inside the Oval and between the Clarrie Grimmett Gate and Bob Quinn Gate in the northern entrance. Please note: that Members’ crossovers do not open until Public Gates are open, and Members’ gates have cleared.
East Gate (off King William Street – Shared Entry)
The East gate is a shared entrance between Members and general public. To access the Members Area in the Riverbank Stand, Members must pass through a designated crossover point located between the Riverbank and Eastern Stands. Once through, Members will be within the exclusive Members Area and can access all Member seating in both the Riverbank and Western Stands.
Members’ Area Seating
Seating in the Members’ Area at Adelaide Oval is non-allocated and is available on a ‘first-come, first-served’ basis, except for seats in Bays 304 and 305, which are reserved for Reserved Seat Members and Daily Seat Holds on select match days.
For men’s international match days in the 2025/26 season, Full, Country and Junior SACA Members and their guests can select an available seat in the Chappell Stand, Sir Donald Bradman Pavilion and the Sir Edwin Smith Stand (western stands), as well as Level 3, Level 5 and sections of Level 1 of the Riverbank Stand.
For Adelaide Strikers BBL matches in the 2025/26 season, seating for Full, Country, Junior and Big Bash SACA Members and their guests will be in the western stand (excluding seats reserved for Daily Seat Holds in Bays 304 and 305), plus Level 3 and Bays 520-523 in Level 5 of the Riverbank Stand. SACA will notify Members of available Member seating areas for the Women’s T20 International and WBBL match days at Adelaide Oval.
Please see specific Match Day Information for each match for details regarding Members’ Area seating
Alcohol-Free Seating Area
Bays 314 and 315 in Level 3 of the Chappell Stand (western stand) are designated alcohol-free seating areas.
Mobility Impaired Seating
Designated wheelchair locations and accessible seats are available in the western stands and Riverbank Stand. If you require one of these spaces for yourself and your carer, please complete an Accessible Seating Application Form available here.
Complimentary Daily Reserved Seat Stickers
During Cricket Australia international matches, Members will be issued with a complimentary reserved seat sticker upon entry through the Members’ gates (South & North) to the Adelaide Oval.
It is the patron’s responsibility to ensure they collect this sticker from gate staff immediately upon entry. Only one sticker will be issued per person per day, even if you intend to collect for another patron.
Stickers can be used to reserve an available seat prior to the start of play and during the innings breaks. Permitted reserve seat times are:
Test Match (day-night format):
- Gate opening to start of play
- During the dinner break (40 minutes)
- During the tea break (20 minutes)
Test Match (day format):
- Gate opening to start of play
- During the tea break (20 minutes)
- During the dinner break (40 minutes)
T20 International
- Gate opening to start of play
- During the innings break
One Day International
- Gate opening to start of play
- During the innings break
At all other times, reserved seat stickers are not valid and can therefore not be used to reserve a seat. Seats left abandoned outside of the reserved time will be available for other Members to claim. Members are not permitted to remove reserved seat stickers from an empty seat and are required to seek assistance from an Adelaide Oval usher.
Members who prefer to reserve a seat can purchase a Daily Seat Hold. Find out more here.
