Venue Overview
Optus Stadium, located on the Burswood Peninsula in Perth, is a state‑of‑the‑art multi‑purpose venue designed for both major sporting events and large‑scale concerts. The stadium opened officially in January 2018 and has quickly become one of Australia’s premier locations for live entertainment.
With a regular seating capacity around 60,000, the venue can be configured to house up to approximately 70,000 fans for major concerts. The design emphasises the fan experience — every seat is within a reasonable viewing distance of the stage, and the facility boasts modern amenities, premium hospitality options, and excellent connectivity (5G, high‑speed networks, large screens) for a top concert experience.
What to Expect for the Ed Sheeran Show
Given Ed Sheeran’s stature and the size of the venue, expect a large‑scale show: a full arena floor (standing and/or seating depending on configuration), elevated stage production, expansive lighting and video displays, and excellent audio throughout the bowl.
The stadium’s flexible configuration means that whether you’re on the floor standing zone or seated in the tiers, you’ll have a good vantage point and the capacity for a big‑show atmosphere.
Because of the large capacity and reputation of the venue, arriving with good timing, checking transport and entry procedures, and understanding your ticket zone will all enhance your experience.
The surrounding parkland (Stadium Park) and Swan River views provide a great pre‑ or post‑show setting if you plan to spend time at the precinct.
Practical Tips for Attendees
Getting there: The stadium has strong transport links including train station (Perth Stadium Station), bus services, and major parking precincts. Traffic around event time can be heavy — allow extra travel time.
Facilities & Amenities: Optus Stadium has over 50 food & beverage outlets, premium hospitality suites, large screens and high‑quality sound systems to ensure the show experience is immersive.
Entry & Tickets: As with any major show, mobile tickets, verifying the exact zone (floor standing vs seated tier), and checking any age restrictions or standing vs seating rules is important.
Seating/Standing Considerations: If your ticket is for the floor/standing zone, arrive early for a better spot. If seated, choose a block with a central or near‑stage view if possible. Even higher tiers in this stadium have good vantage thanks to the design.
Weather/Time: Although this is an indoor‑open stadium (not fully enclosed like a theatre), large concerts at Optus typically have covered seating or canopy roof. However, arriving early might involve walk‑in from outdoors — dress accordingly.
Food/Drinks & Rules: Familiarise yourself with the venue’s bag policy, prohibited items, and cashless payment systems if applicable.
Surrounding Area: The stadium’s parkland and location by the Swan River offer a nice environment for gathering ahead of the show — good for groups meeting before entry.
🎫 Ticket Options & What to Expect by Section
Sections 520 & 521
These are part of the 500‑series upper bowl near the back or side of the stadium bowl. The seating map lists sections 520 and 521 as part of the reserved seating bowl.
Expect: decent view, though you’ll be further from the stage; you’ll be elevated, which gives a broad view of production but less intimacy than floor or lower tiers.
Recommendation: Good value for someone seeking a full concert experience at a more moderate price. If you don’t mind sitting higher you’ll still get the show and big screens.
Tip: Try to get a row closer to the stage end of the section for better viewing.
Section 539
Also in the “500‑series” upper bowl, section 539 appears toward one side/back of the stadium. On the seating map it’s listed among the higher tiers.
Expect: Similar to 520/521 but potentially a bit further away; vantage will show the stage and large screens clearly, but performer detail may be smaller.
Consider: Depending on price differential, if you prefer being closer you may consider a lower block, but 539 still offers a full show feel with less cost.
Section 545
Section 545 is also in the higher tier (500‑series) toward the rear or side opposite the stage. The seating map listing shows 545 among higher numbered blocks.
Expect: Good for major production viewing — you’ll see the overall show, lighting, visuals, crowd effect — but you’ll be further off the action.
Tip: If budget is a concern and you don’t require front‑row style proximity, this section offers a solid experience.
Section 340
The “300‑series” (such as 340) are mid‑upper tiers (sometimes the mid‑range seating blocks). According to the seating map list, 340 is among sections listed in the 300‑series.
Expect: Better positioning than 500‑series, you’ll be somewhat closer and at a more moderate height. Still elevated, but less distant.
Advantage: Balance between cost and proximity/view. If you can get 340 for a reasonable price it might be a “sweet spot.”
General Admission (GA) / Standing Floor
GA typically refers to the standing floor area in front of the stage for a concert—non‑assigned standing area. For Optus Stadium, the “General Admission (Standing)” label is clearly used in the seating map for concerts.
Expect: Highest energy zone—closest to stage, standing, no fixed seats, likely arrive early to get front positions. Great for immersion and being part of the live crowd.
Considerations: You will be standing for the show, possibly crowded; ensure you’re comfortable with that and arrive early.
Accessibility: If you need to sit or have mobility considerations, check accessible seating – GA may not suit all.
✅ Additional Ticket Tips & Notes
Seat numbering: The stadium’s detailed map shows seat and row numbers in each section; average seats per row vary by section.
Entry & ticket type: Check whether your ticket is standing vs seated, row numbers, and whether it’s “Front GA” or “Rear GA” as some GA zones are subdivided. For example the map shows “GA Front Standing / GA Rear Standing”.
View considerations: Even the higher sections offer good large‐screen coverage. From past concert attendees:
“Any seat at Optus Stadium is good … big screens at either end, so you will see the stage.”
Obstructions / restricted view: Some seats (especially very side or behind stage blocks) may have restricted view; check for “Restricted View” warnings when purchasing.
Arrival time for GA: For standing floor zones it’s wise to arrive when doors open to secure a favourable spot.
Weather and indoor/outdoor: While Optus Stadium is a covered venue with roof, large events may still involve outdoor walkways; dress accordingly.
