What gate should I enter from?

There are two gates to enter the stadium from at Leichhardt Oval, Glover Street & Mary Street.

For those with reserved seats in the main grandstand, those wishing to sit in the Keith Barnes Stand & fans wishing to sit in the unreserved seats in front of the main stand, we recommend you enter through Mary Street.

Cove Members & general admission ticket holders wishing to sit on the hill are recommended to enter through Glover Street entry.

These instructions are in place to avoid congestion at the ticket gates.

Where can I sit and what are the ticket options?

Members and fans with general admission tickets or memberships will have their choice of seats in the Keith Barnes Stand, concourse seating and hill. The main grandstand is reserved for certain ticket holders only.

General admission is a first come first served basis and you cannot reserve spots ahead of time. Only those in the Grandstand have a reserved seat for this match, the rest of the venue is general admission.

Members should check their email for clarification on whether they need to redeem a ticket or can simply scan their pass into the venue.

Members can visit the Membership marquee which is located outside the Mary Street entrance should Members have any queries.

Ticket Information

  • Make sure you download and share any tickets before arriving, have your ticket ready to scan and your phone brightness up before you get to your entry gate for faster entry.
  • Please use original PDF versions of ezyTickets, screen-shotting the ticket will pixelate the tickets barcode and may cause them not to scan.
  • More information on mobile tickets, including how to share tickets, is available here.

When should we get there?

Gates will open one hour before kick off and with only two entry points, we recommend that you arrive as early as possible to avoid congestion closer to kick off.

With parking so tight around the area, we highly recommend arriving a few hours before kick off and enjoying the best of the Inner West.

What is on around the stadium?

There will be plenty to keep you occupied before the match on Sunday around Leichhardt Oval.

Inside the Mary St entrance, we will have our trophy museum where you can snap a photo next to the A-League trophy plus our mascots, Skye & Blue will be floating around for high fives and photos. Also at the Mary St entrance you can pick up some suncreen from Cancer Council & pick up our limited edition match cards.

Entering from Glover Street, you can hear the music from the Red Bull DJ and along the way you can pick up some giveaways from our friends at Stanley & Kennards Hire.

At the top of the hill we will have our Sydney FC face painters and also, some of our non playing players will be signing from 2:15-2:45.

Don’t forget, you can pick up your merchandise from the merch vans which will be located outside the Mary St entrance and also inside the gates at Glover St.
