Entry
Our Members' match day experience is first class, with access to premium seats in the western stands and Riverbank Stand. Membership of the SACA allows entry to the venue and SACA Members’ Area at Adelaide Oval and Karen Rolton Oval for all International Matches including Test, One Day International and T20 International matches, as well as BBL, WBBL and domestic matches.
No additional entry ticket is required for the above-mentioned matches when using a SACA Membership.
Seating
Seating in the Members’ Area is non-allocated and is available on a ‘first-come, first-served' basis, which gives Members the flexibility to sit with other Members within the SACA Members' Area.
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 and Level 5 in the Riverbank Stand. During BBL matches, seating on Level 5 in the Riverbank Stand only includes bays 520 – 523.
Members who prefer a reserved seat within the SACA Members' Area, can purchase Daily Seat Holds (subject to availability) or upgrade to a Reserved Seat Membership (subject to availability), both located in Bays 304 and 305 of the Sir Edwin Smith Stand (western stand).
Age Requirements
An application for the Membership waitlist may be lodged at any time irrespective of the age of the applicant. No applicant shall be offered Membership until they have reached the top of the waitlist and is at least 10 years of age (on or before 31 August). Applicants aged between 10- 14 years that choose not to accept the offer of Membership will automatically be added back on the waitlist and the applicant will be re-offered again at the age of 15.
SACA recommends Members add their child/grandchild to the SACA Membership Waitlist as young as possible to ensure that once they turn 10 years of age they have the best chance of receiving a Membership offer.
What facilities do SACA Members have access to?
SACA Members have exclusive access to premium facilities throughout the Members’ Area in both the Riverbank Stand (Levels 3 and 5) and western stands.

Additional bars and kiosks throughout the Members’ Area provide a place for everyone to enjoy their time at the cricket.
The Kids are catered for too, with Kids Zones at both International and Adelaide Strikers home games.
