Know Before You Go
Attendees should verify the official AO LIVE bag policy and age restrictions through Melbourne Park's ticketing channels, as these details are critical for entry. The event takes place at Melbourne Park - Complex, located in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. General admission and potentially VIP experiences may be available depending on ticket tier selection. Attendees are advised to arrive early to navigate security and venue entry points, and to check official ticketing platforms (Bandsintown, Spotify, StubHub, or Ticketek) for current policies regarding entry requirements, prohibited items, and any age or identification verification needed for entry.
Hot Tip
Arrive at least 60 minutes before showtime to clear security and secure a favorable viewing position—major festival events at Melbourne Park experience significant entry queues in the final 30 minutes before doors officially open. This buffer ensures you avoid missing opening performances and captures the optimal vantage point for The Kid LAROI's headline set.
