Accor Stadium Seating Map

Around 83,500 in rectangular (rugby league/soccer) mode and ~81,500 in oval (cricket/AFL) mode. It opened in 1999 with a temporary Olympic capacity of ~110,000+ and was reduced during the 2001–2003 redevelopment, with a further small reduction when a giant LED screen was installed in 2022.

Both long sidelines (east and west) are well covered by the two arched roofs; the north and south ends have less coverage. As a rule, anything on Level 2 or above is under the roof, while the very front rows of the lower bowl and the highest peripheral back rows can be exposed.

The sun sets behind the western side, so the western sideline falls into shade earliest while the eastern sideline stays sunny until late. For day events choose the west sideline or any Level 2+ seat.

Lower or middle-level sideline bays on the halfway line (east or west) give the best balanced view. Behind-the-goal lower end bays are best for atmosphere; upper-tier sideline seats toward halfway are the best value.

Most concerts use an end-stage layout: stage at one end, field as GA standing plus reserved floor seating, and seats directly behind the stage are not sold. GA floor closest to the stage is the most direct; sideline bowl seats facing the stage give an elevated, covered view. Some tours use in-the-round.

The stadium has six levels. Level 1 serves the lower bowl, Level 3 the premium/members and suite/box level, and Levels 5–6 the upper bowl. Bays are numbered sequentially around the field; within a bay, low row numbers are closest to the field.

Members' Reserve along the east/west sidelines, Private Suites (14/20/40 seats) and Zone Boxes (8/12/16 seats) on Levels 3 and 5, the Platinum Lounge, and official Gold/Silver/Bronze hospitality categories with lounge access.

Wheelchair and companion seating is available on multiple levels, served by lifts, ramps and accessible toilets on every level. Book in advance through Ticketek or the stadium accessibility service rather than the standard online seat map.

Section numbers at Accor Stadium follow the seating tiers. Lower Tier (Lower Bowl): Lower bowl bays, accessed from Level 1 / ground concourse; Premium / Members' Middle Level: Middle level (via Level 3), centred on the halfway line; Upper Tier (Upper Bowl): Upper bowl bays, reached from the upper concourses.

The best views at Accor Stadium are from Lower and middle sideline bays on the halfway line, east or west — Halfway-line sideline seats give a balanced head-on view of both ends and the full width of play. The weakest are Seats directly behind the stage at end-stage concerts: Not sold / curtained off — no view of the performance. For a seat-by-seat view, see the view-from-seat photos and the seating map for Accor Stadium.

With kids at Accor Stadium, pick aisle seats near a concourse so exits and toilet runs are easy. Note that the Upper Tier (Upper Bowl) is steep, so young children and anyone uneasy with heights are better lower down.

Accor Stadium is made up of 3 main stands: Lower Tier (Lower Bowl); Premium / Members' Middle Level; Upper Tier (Upper Bowl).

For the best view at Accor Stadium, aim for Lower and middle sideline bays on the halfway line, east or west (Halfway-line sideline seats give a balanced head-on view of both ends and the full width of play.); Lower bays at the northern and southern ends (End bays put you in line with tries and conversions and close to scoring action.). The view is most restricted from Seats directly behind the stage at end-stage concerts (Not sold / curtained off — no view of the performance.).

Accor Stadium has roofs over most seating along the sides, but some seats behind the ends and the entire field are open to the sky.
