Get Ahead of the Game
When you return to Optus Stadium for the upcoming AFL Season, you will notice a couple of major changes.
Below is some important information on each of these changes.

ACCESSING YOUR TICKET & STADIUM ENTRY
Prior to arriving at Optus Stadium, it is highly recommended you follow the steps below:
- ACCESS tickets via the Ticketmaster App under the “My Tickets” tab
- SHARE tickets to others using Ticket Transfer
- ADD tickets to your mobile wallet
- AT THE VENUE turn your phone brightness up and have your tickets ready to scan at your ticketed entry gate.
- AT THE TURNSTILES - either scan your barcode under the scanner OR tap your phone at the tap point if your ticket is in your mobile wallet.
NOTE: Screenshots of your tickets, including QR/barcodes, will not be accepted and entry will be denied.

INTRODUCING REUSABLE CUPS
Sip Sustainably!
From Saturday 21 March 2026, all tap beer drinks will be served in a reusable cup, replacing the existing paper cup.
With thousands of drinks served at each event, reusable cups help to reduce single-use waste and support a more sustainable stadium experience.
How it works: 1. Grab ➡️ 2. Drink ➡️ 3. Return
After enjoying your drink, simply return your empty cup to a marked bin. All cups will be collected, washed, sanitised offsite by FSG NickNack, and reused for future events.
Note: No refills. No refundable deposit on cups.

PERTH PARK UPDATE
During the Perth Park construction period from March 2026, the park will be temporarily closed to the public.
What to expect
Path users, people walking and riding from the south should use the Camfield Drive pathway, Victoria Park Drive pathway or riverside path between Optus Stadium and Crown Perth.
- Expect slightly longer walking times
- Following wayfinding signage
- Use public transport – plan your journey at transperth.wa.gov.au
Please see the map which details new pedestrian access routes between Optus Stadium and Crown Perth.
