How To Get There (And Home Again)

Public transport is your friend when heading to events at RAC Arena, especially if there’s a Transperth logo on your ticket (because this means PT is free 3 hours before or after your event!).

If you’re catching the train, you’ll need to disembark at Perth Underground Station. You can then take an easy 10-minute walk down Wellington Street to reach RAC Arena, which is pretty impossible to miss.

If you’re bussing, there are different options depending on where you’re coming from and what day it is. You’ll probably have to change buses a few times, and you’ll end up at a bus port that will likely also be a 10-to-15-minute walk. You can plan your journey with Transperth here. 

If you prefer to drive, RAC has a carpark accessible from Market Street or Milligan Street, and parking there during an event will cost a flat rate of $30 from 4pm to midnight. 

There are also 14 ACROD bays available, with the first set located near the Milligan Street entrance, and the second set towards the back near the Suite Holders and Mobility Entry.

Some things to keep in mind if you’re using the carpark:

• It’s totally cashless, so EFT payments only
• Carpark clearance height is 2.3m
• Lost tickets incur a $60 fee
• Overlapping rates will apply if parked outside of set times

 

Pro tip: leaving just before the final encore can save you serious time if you’re not emotionally attached to the last song.

What To Bring

Keep it minimal, as RAC doesn't allow bags larger than an A4 piece of paper. It's also worth keeping in mind that any signs or banners must be smaller than A3, and that professional camera equipment will not be allowed inside the arena. If in doubt, check out all the conditions of entry here.
