The Gabba Guide

The Gabba is a public transport destination, meaning you'll have the best event day experience by catching a regular or special event bus service right to the Stadium.

The Translink Journey planner will map your voyage - even pop in the gate time to understand what time you should leave. Check out the Translink home page before any match for event specific transport details.

If you need to drive, there is no parking at the venue. You might like to park at South Bank or in the Brisbane City and pop onto a Shuttle Bus for the remainder of your journey.

You’ll find we’re a 2 min walk from the Woolloongabba bus station, approx. 25 min walk from South Bank and about 40 min walk from the Queen Street Mall. Many regular bus services connect The Gabba to both South Bank and the City with a full journey taking 10 -15 minutes.

It’s game time! The first thing you need to do when you arrive at The Gabba is locate your gate. Your recommended entry gate will be listed on your ticket, if you can’t find it check your section location on our handy venue map page.

Our venue is colour coded to help you find your way, so it might help you to know:

• Gates 1, 2, 3, & 11 are yellow;
• Gates 4 & 5 are dark blue;
• Gate 6, 7 & 8 are maroon; and
• Gates 9 & 10 are teal.
  

As you head to the gate have your ticket ready, for mobile tickets this means have your ticket loaded and your screen brightness turned all the way up.

Once you've gotten through bag check with our security team you'll get your ticket scanned – and voila! You’re inside.

With 34,735 general admission seats, finding yours might seem a little daunting, but we’re here to help. Few helpful hints:

• Levels: If your section number is in the 200s you’re on level 2 - the ground level. If it’s in the 400s you’re on level 4 – so you’ll need to head up the stairs. If your section number is outside to 200s or 400s then you’re likely in a box, suite or function room on level 3, if you’re not sure where to head ask one of our staff.
• Aisle numbers are visible from the concourse (the walkway around the venue)
• Section numbers are visible once you’re standing in your aisle (your section will either be to the left or right once your standing in your aisle)
• Our rows run A to Z on level 2 with A being the front and Z being the back. On level 4 rows run from AA to ZZ with AA being the front.

If in doubt or feeling lost ask one of our helpful staff! 

You’ll find bars and food outlets close to your seat. Sport staples like beers, pies and hot chips can be found almost anywhere, however if you’re looking for something a little more have a wander!

You’ll find dumplings, burgers, craft beers, coffee, pizza and plenty more at specialty outlets around the venue – glance at the menu board as you're walking by.

First aid rooms, a quiet room, parent rooms and a range accessible amenities are located throughout the venue – ask one of our staff if you’re looking from something in particular.

Note: there is no public thoroughfare through sections 401 – 404 on level 4 and section 201-205 on level 2. This is our Gabba Members area – want access? Well check out our membership options here.
