Adelaide Oval tours: RoofClimb and getting there

Choose the visit that suits your plans

Adelaide Oval tours offer a behind-the-scenes visit, while RoofClimb at Adelaide Oval has a published group rate worth comparing if you’re organising a group. Start by choosing the experience that interests you, then plan your journey separately from any match-day arrangements.

The Adelaide Oval Legends Tour and Bradman Collection Guided Sessions are other options to consider. Compare the details below before committing, especially if budget is the deciding factor.

Compare the Stadium Tour, Legends Tour and collection

Adelaide Oval Tours presented by NRMA Insurance take visitors behind-the-scenes. This is the option to investigate if seeing beyond the spectator experience is your main reason for visiting.

At the time of writing, the Adelaide Oval Legends Tour costs $295.00 per person (minimum two pax), with bookings only available Monday – Friday excluding event days and depending on stadium operations. Check the price and booking conditions before visiting, and make sure everyone in your party is comfortable with the cost before committing.

Bradman Collection Guided Sessions are listed as free of charge and available to book ahead or upon arrival. For a budget-conscious visit, investigate this option first rather than assuming you need to pay for a tour.

Check the RoofClimb group rate and requirements

At the time of writing, RoofClimb at Adelaide Oval lists a rate of $105 per person for groups of 10 or more, and its booking information states: “Group bookings are available”. Check the rate and availability before visiting or collecting money from your group.

That published rate is specifically for groups of 10 or more; don’t use it as an individual ticket estimate. Before booking, ask about participant requirements, accessibility, what to wear and how weather may affect your plans.

Plan the walk, public transport or parking

Adelaide Oval is in the heart of the city, 400 metres from the CBD. Adelaide Railway Station is a 600m walk via Riverbank Bridge. Tram stops on King William Road are 500m away.

At the time of writing, the Footy Express Bus information states: “Dedicated AO and AOX services run direct to Adelaide Oval before and after every match.” Its fare information states: “Free with your game-day ticket.” Adelaide Metro train and tram information also lists: “Additional services on all lines during match days.” Check the arrangements for your specific match before visiting, and don’t assume they apply to a standalone tour.

The published driving advice is: “Limited parking at War Memorial Drive and Montefiore Road car parks.” It also states: “Road closures apply for major matches.” Bike racks are available at the North, South, and East gates. If you’re choosing between driving and public transport, weigh parking uncertainty against the walk from your stop.

Before you go

Confirm your chosen experience’s start time, meeting point and booking conditions directly before setting out. If accessibility matters to your party, ask about the complete route rather than relying on a general venue description.

Keep your booking confirmation handy and leave room in your schedule for finding the meeting point. For a group visit, share the arrival plan in advance so everyone knows where to meet.
