Pre-book your parking

Pre-booked tickets can not be purchased on the same day as the event. 

The pre-book parking system closes at 11:59 pm the day before an event.

Printing your parking confirmation

You need to show your parking confirmation barcode at the gate to enter the car park. This can be printed or shown on a digital device e.g. your smartphone. 

Refunds

No refund or exchange on any ticket except as required by law and as otherwise specified by the seller.

All parking ticket purchases on the Authority’s website are final and cannot be cancelled once confirmed. Please select tickets carefully as we do not provide refunds where you may change your mind about attending an event, or where you can no longer attend on that date.

Please read our FAQs for further information. 

Refunds due to cancelled events

For those seeking a refund of pre-booked parking for a cancelled event prior to the advertised gate opening time, please forward the same email you received confirming your booking, back to parking@sopa.nsw.gov.au.

Note: Your refund will be processed in order and may take up to 14 business days.
