Whether you’re a first-timer or a long-time fan, we want to make sure your 2026 Maurie Plant Meet – Melbourne experience is one to remember.
With big crowds expected, the atmosphere at Lakeside Stadium is going to be electric. A little planning before you arrive goes a long way – here’s everything you need to know before you head through the gates.
Planning ahead and being armed with information before you get to the gates is key to a smooth and fast entry into the venue.
Tickets are not guaranteed to be available at the gate, so we strongly recommend purchasing online through INTIX ahead of time. Tickets can be purchased here.
Once you’ve got your tickets, download the INTIX app and sign in so you’re ready to go on the night. Accessible entry is available next to Gate 2.
Types of Tickets
Ticket prices increase at 12:01am on Saturday, so buy before event day to lock in the lower price.
The best way to get to and from Albert Park is by public transport. Parking at Lakeside Stadium is very limited, so we encourage you to plan your trip using the journey planner on the Transport Victoria website.
