Three Nights at Accor Stadium — How to Get There, Park, and Arrive in Style
Ed Sheeran is bringing his Loop Tour to Accor Stadium for THREE massive nights — Friday February 13, Saturday February 14, and Sunday February 15, 2026. With 80,000 fans expected each night (240,000 total across the weekend), getting to and from Sydney Olympic Park will be the biggest challenge of your concert experience.
Whether you’re coming from Sydney CBD, the North Shore, Eastern Suburbs, or Western Sydney, this comprehensive guide covers every concert transport Sydney option so you can focus on singing “Shape of You” instead of stressing about parking.

Why Ed Sheeran at Accor Stadium Creates Transport Chaos:
The Numbers:
The Reality:
When Ed Sheeran last toured Australia in 2023, he broke attendance records with 217,500 fans at Melbourne’s MCG over two nights. Sydney’s three-night stand will be even bigger.
Post-Concert Nightmare Scenarios:
This is why smart concertgoers pre-book concert transport Sydney with fixed pricing.
From Major Sydney Locations:
Concert night traffic is 2x normal.
How It Works:
Accor Stadium is a 5-minute walk from Olympic Park Station. Trains run from Lidcombe (connecting to all major Sydney lines).

From Parramatta:

Cost:
Pros: ✓ Most affordable option ✓ Extra services added for concerts ✓ No parking stress ✓ Potentially free with concert ticket
Cons: ✗ Packed trains post-concert (expect to stand) ✗ 30–60 minute platform waits after show ends ✗ Multiple transfers from some suburbs ✗ Last train concerns (typically 12:30 AM but confirm)
Best For: Solo travelers, budget-conscious fans, anyone living near train lines.
Pro Tip: Leave 10 minutes before encore finishes to beat the rush. You’ll hear the last song from the platform.
Parking at Sydney Olympic Park:
Accor Stadium doesn’t have its own parking — all parking managed by Sydney Olympic Park Authority.

From 35 Years of Major Concert Transport Experience:
Mistake #1: “I’ll Just Get an Uber After the Show”
Reality: 80,000 people have the same plan. Surge pricing will destroy your budget and you’ll wait 90 minutes. Pre-book professional transport instead.
Mistake #2: “I’ll Drive and Find Parking on the Day”
Reality: Casual parking doesn’t exist for Ed Sheeran concerts. If you haven’t pre-booked 4–6 weeks before, you’re not parking. You’ll drive around for an hour, miss the support act, and pay for expensive private lot parking far away.
Mistake #3: “Trains Will Be Fine”
Reality: Trains work, but expect 60-minute platform waits post-concert and packed carriages. Fine for solo budget travelers, not ideal for groups or couples wanting to enjoy the night.
Mistake #4: “I’ll Leave Early to Beat Traffic”
Reality: You paid $150–300 for tickets to miss the encore? Ed Sheeran’s encores are legendary. Stay for the whole show, pre-book your ride, and leave when YOU want.
Mistake #5: “Concert’s in February, I’ll Book Transport in January”
Reality: Premium transport providers allocate fleet based on bookings. Book even just a few days before and you’re fine with our 1,200+ vehicle fleet. But don’t wait until 6 hours before showtime.
From Sydney Concert Transport Experts:
Timeline:
Why: Transport is more critical than accommodation. A hotel in Parramatta with guaranteed transport > A CBD hotel with no way to get there.
Ed Sheeran shows typically have quality support acts. Doors open ~5:00 PM, support acts ~6:30 PM, Ed Sheeran ~8:30 PM.
Smart Schedule:
Don’t: Aim to arrive at 8:15 PM. You’ll hit peak traffic, miss support, rush to seats stressed.
February in Sydney = Summer Heat
Why Premium Transport Matters:
Ed Sheeran merch sells out fast. If you want tour merchandise:
Strategy:
Transport Implication: Need vehicle with luggage space for purchases. Premium transport = plenty of space.
Based on previous Loop Tour shows, Ed typically performs:
DON’T leave early. Ed’s encores often include “Shape of You” and surprise covers.

For Best Service, Provide:
✓ Concert Date: Which night(s) — Feb 13, 14, or 15? ✓ Pickup Address: Your home, hotel, or starting location ✓ Passenger Count: 1? 4? 7? ✓ Pickup Time: When should we collect you? ✓ Return Preference:
Q: How far in advance should I book concert transport?
A: With our 1,200+ vehicle fleet, booking even just a few days before the concert is fine. That said, Ed Sheeran’s three-night stand is massive (240,000 fans), so booking 1–2 weeks before each show is ideal to guarantee your preferred vehicle type and pickup time.
Q: What if the concert runs late?
A: We monitor event timing. If you’ve booked flexible return, text your driver when you’re ready. If you’ve booked fixed time (e.g., 11:00 PM) and show runs late, drivers wait reasonable delays at no extra charge. Ed Sheeran shows typically end 10:30–11:00 PM.
Q: Can you pick up from multiple locations (collect friends)?
A: Yes! Specify multiple pickup addresses when booking. We’ll route efficiently to collect everyone before heading to Accor Stadium.
Q: Is there surge pricing like Uber?
A: No. Cars on Demand quotes FIXED pricing upfront. Whether it’s 80,000 fans leaving simultaneously or quiet Tuesday night, your rate doesn’t change.
Q: What about tolls?
A: Sydney has minimal tolls to Olympic Park (typically $4–8 depending on route). Tolls are itemized separately on your invoice for transparency.
Q: Can we make stops (dinner before concert)?
A: Absolutely. Book “multi-stop transfer”: Your location → Restaurant → Accor Stadium → Return. Just specify when booking.
Q: What if I’ve been drinking at the concert?
A: That’s exactly why we exist. Professional, licensed chauffeur gets you home safely while you celebrate and sing Ed Sheeran songs in the back seat.
Q: Do you service all Sydney suburbs?
A: Yes. We provide concert transport Sydney-wide: CBD, Eastern Suburbs, North Shore, Northern Beaches, Western Sydney, Sutherland Shire, everywhere.
Q: What about interstate visitors?
A: We provide complete packages: Sydney Airport transfer → Hotel → Concert → Hotel → Airport. Single booking for your entire trip.
You’ve waited years for Ed Sheeran to return to Australia. You’ve paid $150–300 for tickets. You’ve taken Friday off work to attend. You’ve been counting down for months.
Don’t let transport chaos ruin match point.
240,000 fans. Three nights. One stadium. The transport challenge is real.
Your options:
❌ Gamble on surge-priced Uber: Pay $150–200, wait 90 minutes, arrive stressed
❌ Drive and park: Pre-book sold out, 90-min exit queues, miss encore to beat traffic
❌ Packed trains: Free/cheap, but 60-min platform waits, standing room only
✅ Pre-book professional concert transport: Fixed price, guaranteed pickup, door-to-door comfort, zero stress
The choice is yours.
For groups of 4+, the cost is comparable to surge Uber. For the experience difference? Priceless.
