Can I upgrade to a Reserved Seat Membership this renewal period?
Full, Country and Junior Members can join the Reserved Seat Membership waitlist when you renew/accept your Membership. Existing Reserved Seat Members will have priority to renew into the same seat.
Where can I sit as a SACA Member?
Members 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 in the Riverbank Stand. During the Men’s Test Match and ODI, seating will also include selected bays in Level 5 of the Riverbank Stand. If you prefer alcohol-free seating, this is available on Level 3 of the Chappell Stand.
Seating in the Members’ Area is non-allocated and is available on a ‘first-come, first-served’ basis, except for Daily Seat Holds and Reserved Seat Members, which are located in bays 304 & 305 of the Sir Edwin Smith Stand.
For international match days, when you enter Adelaide Oval, you will receive a reserve seat sticker, which you can use to reserve an available seat prior to the start of play and during the innings breaks. Stickers are void during play, so if you leave your seat it will be available for someone else to sit in.
Seating in the Members’ Area is non-allocated seating and seats are available on a first come, first served basis (except for Bays 304 & 305 which are reserved for Reserved Seat Members’ Area and Daily Seat Holds, unless varied). SACA cannot guarantee that a seat in the Members’ Area will be available for every Member, Transferable Associate Card holder or Daily Guest Pass holder (if applicable).
Reserved Seat Members
For the 2024/25 cricket season, Reserved Seat Members will, subject to the below, have an allocated reserved seat for all men’s International matches in Level 3 of the western stand, Bays 304 and 305.
In the event that the above allocated reserved seat area is not available for any reason, Reserved Seat Members will be issued with an alternate reserved seat within the venue in an alternative allocated area.
Reserved Seat Members who purchase a Reserved Seat Transferable Associate Card will have access to an additional reserved seat beside the Member’s seat in the relevant allocated area (whether Bays 304 or 305 or the relevant alternative area in the event of any variation or substitution, as outlined above), subject to seat availability and any capacity constraints.
Reserved Seat Members will be provided with a priority period to purchase Daily Seat Holds for all Adelaide Strikers BBL matches in Bays 304 and 305 or such other area(s) as notified by SACA.
SACA Big Bash Members
For Adelaide Strikers BBL matches in the 2024/25 season, seating for SACA Big Bash 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 of the Riverbank
Will I be able to purchase a Transferable Associate Card?
Full, Country and Junior Members have the opportunity to purchase one Transferable Associate Card (subject to availability), allowing the user entry into Adelaide Oval and the SACA Members’ Area.
To prioritise Members’ access to cricket at Adelaide Oval over that of guests, there is a limit on the number of Transferable Associate Cards that are sold each season. Members who purchase a Transferable Associate Card for this season will also receive priority access to purchase a Transferable Associate Card for the 2025/26 season when England and Australia face off in the Men's Ashes at Adelaide Oval.
Reserved Seat Members have the option each season to either purchase a Transferable Associate Card, or upgrade to a Reserved Seat Transferable Associate Card (subject to availability), so that their guest can enjoy a reserved seat beside them.
SACA Big Bash Members do not have the option to purchase a Transferable Associate Card for the season, but instead can bring guests by purchasing Daily Guest Passes for Adelaide Strikers matches, subject to availability.
Is my Membership transferable?
All SACA Membership categories are non-transferable. A Membership Card can only be used by the Member (and no one else). If you purchase a Transferable Associate Card or Reserved Seat Transferable Associate Card, this card is transferable.
Will my children and grandchildren aged under 10 be allowed to attend with me for free?
Yes, children who are nine years of age or younger as at 1 September 2024 can gain free entry into Adelaide Oval and SACA Members’ Area if accompanying their parent or grandparent who is a SACA Member.
This benefit is not available to children/grandchildren of Transferable Associate Card holders or Reserved Seat Transferable Associate Card holders.
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.
Reserved Seat Members should note that if their child/grandchild under 10 years is not permitted to sit in the Reserved Seat Members’ Area, unless they have a Reserved Seat Transferable Associate Card and that seat is vacant. Accordingly, the Reserved Seat Member will be unable to sit in or use their reserved seat, given their responsibility for supervising that child or grandchild. (Both can however sit in the unreserved, first come first served seating in the general SACA Members’ Area).
Will I receive a physical Member card?
Yes – your Member Card will be posted to you from late September and after you have renewed or accepted your Membership.
Can I apply to go Absentee this season?
Full, Country, Junior and Reserved Seat SACA Members can apply to have their name placed on the Absentee list. To qualify, the Member is required to be absent from South Australia for a full Membership year (1 September 2024 to 31 August 2025) or must demonstrate extenuating circumstances, as detailed on the Absentee Application Form.
Please complete the SACA Member Absentee Application Form (and provide the required supporting documentation). Once submitted, SACA will contact you via email to approve or decline the application and may request additional information. If approved, you will be sent confirmation via email with a link to make the $100 absentee payment.
Please note, SACA Big Bash Members cannot put their name on the Absentee List.
