Experience world-class events at Melbourne Stadium!
Melbourne Stadium is located in the historic suburb of Chelmsford and is a timeless structure that tells the story of not only sports but also music and the community itself. The stadium was originally a cricket ground and has undergone various renovations since its era as a base to be something much more. What once was a location that accommodated the thousands who came to see sporting events has become a much loftier structure since the 19th century. Melbourne Stadium now has facilities that can also host concert lovers. A number of recent musical acts have performed at the stadium, while the number of new bridges at the actual stadium allows Melbourne's audience to be closer to the action and makes for a unique experience. For over 150 years, the Melbourne Stadium has been a residence of historic moments.
When it opened way back in 1853, it was known as the 'Melbourne Cricket Ground' or 'MCG' for short. Since then, it has been the scene of such diverse events as the 1956 Olympic Games, some of the greatest boxing matches ever fought, and the first rock-and-roll concert performed Down Under. Every era had its own set of styles. For example, the early 20th century had its art deco movement, and the Melbourne Stadium was very much a part of that. Then there was the 1930s-style Moderne, with its gleaming chrome and plastic exterior. Finally, the clean lines of International Style replaced the moderne look from 1956 to 1981, when interim renovations happened.
Buying a ticket is the way to access the communal experience that comes with being present at a game or event. Events that elicit memories long after they've concluded. Whether you're taking your family to a game or celebrating with other fans, tickets serve as mementos of memorable experiences.
In 2025, the stadium hosted the historic 150th-anniversary day-night Test, marking 150 years of sporting excellence. In the following decades, it underwent a phase of transformative renovations, each expansion adding more seating, the most modern technology, and a greater variety of events that it could hold. Intimate concerts with as few as 45,000 in the audience to sporting events watched by 60,000 are just a few examples of how the Melbourne Stadium's design is adaptable and suitable for events of all kinds.
Its crowning glory is the retractable roof, which can fold or unfold for inclement weather, ensuring events can proceed regardless of weather conditions. The roof itself, with its panels, provides flexibility for different event configurations.

About Melbourne Stadium
Melbourne Stadium History
The stadium was originally a cricket ground and has undergone various renovations since its era as a base to be something much more. When it opened in 1853 it was known as the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Since then it has hosted major events including the 1956 Olympic Games, historic boxing matches, and early rock-and-roll concerts. Across the 20th century the venue passed through distinct architectural phases — from art deco to 1930s Moderne to the cleaner International Style adopted between 1956 and 1981 — each renovation reflecting the aesthetic and functional demands of its era.
Over its long life the ground has repeatedly adapted, expanding seating, updating technology, and broadening the types of events it can host. The 150th-anniversary day-night Test in 2025 stands out as a milestone in its continuous narrative of sporting and cultural significance.
Melbourne Stadium Facts and Figures
Capacity isn't fixed; it shifts with the event's configuration. The stadium holds about 58,000 for a football match. Concerts that use a stage built around the center of the field reduce capacity to around 45,000. The precise number of available seats is mainly a function of the particular stage plan and is revealed during the ticket-purchase process. For certain concerts, the artist and promoter elect a stage layout that will maximize the available seats.
Its retractable roof is a key feature — folding or unfolding to suit weather conditions and contributing to the venue's acoustic and spatial flexibility. The roof's panels can alter sightlines and the feel of the interior space, effectively changing the atmosphere for different event types.

How to get to Melbourne Stadium
Parking at Melbourne Stadium
An extensive network of parking facilities serves Melbourne Stadium, with both surface lots and multi-story structures available on a pay-as-you-go basis. Event-goers may choose from several pricing tiers: those premium spots right next to the main entrances command a high price but offer the reward of a reduced walking distance, while the peripheral lots provide a more economical alternative. It's prudent to arrive early — traffic volume increases significantly in the 60 to 90 minutes before doors open.
Pre-booking a space on the stadium's online portal not only guarantees a reserved parking spot but also gives you a modest discount. If you're trying to be green, taking public transit lessens your driving carbon footprint.
Public Transportation to Melbourne Stadium
Public transport is a recommended option for many attendees, particularly during large festivals and major events when road traffic is heavy. The stadium is well-served by local bus and rail connections, with increased service frequency on event days. Dedicated shuttle services often operate from major transit hubs to the stadium, providing convenient access for fans. Check local transit schedules and plan your journey in advance to ensure timely arrival.
