OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
WIN Stadium is a NON-SMOKING venue.

Pass outs will be available from any of the public gates.

Cloakroom facilities will NOT be available.

The box office (located at Harbour/Burelli Street) will be open from 2pm for pre-paid ticket collections.

Updated security measures mean there’s new conditions which apply to what bag sizes will be allowed into the concert. Consider bringing only what fits in your pockets, but if not, take the time to check the new measurements and ensure your bag complies. There is no cloakroom, so if your bag
(or any item you bring) is prohibited, it will be confiscated and not returned. Ouch!

Remember to bring your ticket (obviously!), but also valid PHOTO ID, especially if you plan to consume alcohol. 

There are multiple Gate entries into WIN Stadium, all from different corners (& streets), so check your ticket and cross-reference the map to help with getting where you need to enter.  

This is the biggest event in history to be hosted at WIN Stadium and services will be running at capacity. First, be patient and kind.  We want everyone to have a good time.  

ATM and eftpos (credit and debit card) facilities are available within WIN Stadium, including in use at the Food and Beverage outlets, as well as at Elton John’s Tour Merchandise stands.  However, in the unlikely event of system failures and/or expiry, patrons are encouraged to bring enough cash for the concert’s duration.
