Getting to Shark Stadium

Parking

Parking is now available in the Bay Central precinct, right next to the stadium but must be pre-booked.

How to Book

Grab your parking space through Ticketek. No last-minute parking, if you don’t pre-book you will miss out.

Game Day Parking

• Opening Time: The car park opens three hours before stadium gates do. Get there early to avoid the rush as it can get quite hectic closer to game time.
• No Overnight Stays: Your pass is good from game time until an hour after it ends. If you want to stay longer, check out Point Parking for overnight rates.
• Space Allocation: There is no space allocation with parking spaces are filled on a first in, best dressed basis. Bay Central starts filling up from the lower levels.
• Accessible Parking: If you need an accessible parking spot, be sure to have your accessibility permit displayed or show your Disabled Parking Permit to the attendants for a reserved space.
• Entrance: Head in via Woolooware Road North with your ticket ready to ensure a smooth entry.
• One-Time Entry: Your ticket gets you into the parking bay once and there are no re-entries, so make sure once you are in you don’t need to go anywhere else.
• Post-Game Exit: It can take up to an hour to clear out of the parking area. Follow the signs and attendants’ directions to ensure a smooth exit. Boom gates will be up 30 minutes before full-time until an hour after. Captain Cook Drive will close westbound for about 30 minutes post-game to assist in exiting PointsBet Stadium.

No On-the-Day Parking Sales

Remember, you need to pre-book parking tickets. There are no single game parking passes available, only seasonal ones. Your pass is for NRL games only and can’t be transferred or shared.

VIP Parking for Sharks Members

For Sharks Members and VIPs, parking is all about ease and exclusivity. Here’s the lowdown:

• Your Reserved Spot: You’ve got a dedicated spot in the Sharks area at Woolooware Bay Precinct. No stress, no hassle.
• Timely Entry and Exit: Roll in three hours before the gates open, stay up to an hour after the final whistle. Enjoy the game without the rush.
• Easy Access: Have your pass ready (physical or on your phone), and follow the signs to your spot.
• No Re-Entry: Just like the standard parking tickets once you’re in, you’re in. Leave and you can’t come back with the same pass.
• Top-Notch Service: Parking attendants are there to help. If you have special needs, just let them know.
