Eden Park is centrally located and adjacent to key transport hubs including train stations and major bus routes. Tickets to most of our events include public transport fares, making getting to and from events easy. To plan your journey and find out more about whether your event ticket includes a bus or train fare, visit Auckland Transport’s event information before your visit.

Event Traffic Management Plans  

A Traffic Management Plan may be implemented for an event and the closure of surrounding streets may differ depending on the expected crowd size.

When a Traffic Management Plan is in place, to protect the safety of pedestrians, parking restrictions in the local area will apply, and some of the streets around Eden Park will be closed to all vehicles except emergency vehicles and those which display a valid access pass.

Information for residents can be found here. Please note that some areas, including those within the resident parking zone, may be reserved for public transport and other traffic management uses. Residents who have a Parking Permit are not able to park in these areas which will be clearly signposted on the event day. All information about the Traffic Management Plan in place for an event will be provided in the residents’ newsletter delivered a few days before each event and on the specific Event Page.

If you have any questions regarding event day traffic management or parking, please phone Auckland Transport on 09 355 3553.

Wheelchair Access

Depending on where you are seated, wheelchair accessibility lifts are available at Gates A, B, C, E, F & G.  A map of gate locations can be found here.

Mobility Toilets

There are a number of accessible toilets located around the stadium which can be found on this map.

Community Health Sensory Room

The Access Community Health Sensory Room , located on Level 3 of the Samsung South Stand, is a dedicated quiet space for people who love live events but find the experience overwhelming due to the heightened crowds and noise.

Kennards Hire Sound Sensitivty Stations

The Kennards Hire Sound Sensitivity Stations dispense free earplugs to fans on a self-serve basis. It’s hoped the initiative – the first of its kind at a major New Zealand venue – will help individuals with sound sensitivity to experience the magic of big game days and concerts without the risk of being overwhelmed by noise levels.

These are currently located in the Samsung South Stand Level 3 Concourse next to the Access Community Health Sensory Room.

Accessible & Companion Seating

Wheelchair and companion seating are located in both the University of Auckland North Stand and Samsung South Stand. They offer fantastic views, easy access to retail catering and bathroom facilities, and a convenient seat for your friend or carer.

Permobil Comfort Zones

The Permobil Comfort Zones in the Samsung South Stand are situated in Sections 319 & 323 – fitted with infrared heaters to keep you warm through the winter, stanchioned barriers for enhanced space & TV Replay screens to watch the action back. These seats are available for booking through the venue hirer’s preferred ticketing agent.

There are more comfort zones available in the University of Auckland North Stand.

Mobility Parking

For large events when a Traffic Management plan is in place, mobility parking is located in Cricket Ave and is on a first-come, first-served basis. We do not take bookings for mobility parking.  For smaller events where no Traffic Management is in place, mobility parking spaces can be found in P5 carpark of Reimers Ave.

Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Lanyard

If you or someone you are with has a hidden disability, you can wear a Hidden Disability Sunflower lanyard, pin or bracelet to discretely let our team know that you might like some extra assistance or care.

Eden Park is the first stadium in New Zealand to join the global Sunflower network.  The lanyards which are bright green in colour and decorated with an easily identifiable sunflower are completely voluntary and indicate to our team that you:

• May need extra time to find your seat
• Always need to stay with friends or family
• May need to know the location of our sensory room and other stadium facilities

Please keep in mind that wearing a sunflower lanyard, pin or bracelet won’t help you get through our entry gates faster.

If you require a Hidden Disabilities Sunflower lanyard, these are available from all gates on an event day, and from Gate G on a non-event day. Please see this map for more information on where to collect your lanyard.

Eden Park offers a range of traditional food & beverage options, plus healthy alternatives sold in retail outlets along the concourse (Level 3) and at other seating levels of the stadium.

Eden Park is a cashless venue. Faster, safer and easier, cashless transactions help us to minimise queues so you can spend more time enjoying the event, and less time waiting.

Small amounts of non-commercially produced food intended for the patron’s personal consumption are allowed but please take your rubbish with you or place in the bins provided.

There is no public parking at Eden Park on an event day. Depending on the event, a Traffic Management Plan may be in place to protect the safety of patrons attending the event and facilitate access for residents.

Members and contractors: please note that you must have a parking permit for the relevant event and this must be clearly displayed on the dashboard of your vehicle. Please follow the access instructions provided and note that onsite carpark areas may be closed prior to the end of the event, up to one hour post the event finishing, to allow for all pedestrian traffic to clear from the venue.

Mobility parking: For large events when a Traffic Management plan is in place, mobility parking is located in Cricket Ave and is on a first-come, first-served basis. We do not take bookings for mobility parking.  For smaller events where no Traffic Management Plan is in place, mobility parking spaces can be found in the P5 carpark off Reimers Ave.
