Event guide

We are expecting 25,000 fans for this event, so we recommend you plan ahead and leave plenty of time to get to the venue and through the gates. Please arrive at least 90 minutes before Guns N’s Roses are set to take the stage, so you have enough time to make your way to your seats in time for the first song.

We want you to have a great day with us, so please plan ahead. Check out our event guide below and the event page for everything you need to know. 

Please note there are no pass outs for the show. 

Sky Stadium is now a cashless venue. All food and beverage outlets and merchandise stands accept EFTPOS and credit card.
