The Wiggles’ Sparkle! BIG SHOW plays three times at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Saturday 14 November 2026, at 10:00am, 1:30pm and 4:30pm, and the car park opens at 7:30am. Tickets run from $28 to $58 depending on the section, event parking on site costs $19 and the tram from the city centre to the Centre is free. Adelaide is on daylight saving in November (UTC+10:30), and every time below is local Adelaide time.
This guide is from the Centre’s own Wiggles event page and its Getting Here, Venue FAQs and Accessibility pages, read on 2 November 2026.
What time are the three shows, and when do the doors open?
The event page gives this timetable for Saturday 14 November, and says running times are approximate and may change. Foyer doors stay open between performances.

Each show is listed as about an hour long. Check which show your ticket is for; the doors re-open about an hour before the second and third shows.
Who is in the show?
The event page lists Anthony and Lucia (Blue Wiggles), Tsehay and Evie (Yellow Wiggles), Simon and Caterina (Red Wiggles), and Lachy and John (Purple Wiggles) on stage. It also lists Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog, Henry the Octopus, Captain Feathersword and the Tree of Wisdom among the Wiggly friends. The Centre describes the show as a new arena tour with costumes, lights and visual effects, with opportunities for children to dance and join in.
How much are tickets?
The event page lists four prices, as of 2 November 2026, all including GST, with service and handling fees and delivery fees that may apply:
| Ticket | Price |
|---|---|
| Hot Potato | $58.00 |
| Fruit Salad | $48.00 |
| Rock-A-Bye | $38.00 |
| Propeller | $28.00 |
Children under 12 months old do not need a ticket but must sit on the lap of a parent or guardian. The event page also warns that people who search for the Centre’s tickets on Google or other search engines can be sent to a resale site that looks official, and that only tickets bought from Ticketek are valid at the Centre.
How much is parking at the Centre?
The Centre has more than 1,400 on-site car parking spaces, reached via Mary Street, Manton Street or Adam Street only. The event parking rate is $19 and the Centre lists it as correct as of 3 June 2026, GST inclusive. The Centre accepts card only for all on-site charges, including parking, food and drinks; all cards are accepted with no surcharges. After major events, the Centre asks drivers to allow extra time for delays leaving the car park.
Access to the Centre is through three entrances, and the Centre asks you to check your ticket for your designated entry.
Is there a free tram?
Yes. A free tram service runs daily between the Adelaide Entertainment Centre and the city centre, with frequent services in peak travel periods. The Entertainment Centre Tram Stop is immediately in front of the Centre on Port Road. The Centre says additional tram services are often provided on event days, but it has not announced any for this show.
What about the train, buses and drop-off?
| Option | What the Centre says |
|---|---|
| Train | Bowden Railway Station is about 150 metres from the Centre, with easy pedestrian access |
| Bus | Bus stops are 50 to 80 metres from the Centre; buses 150 and 157 pass directly |
| Taxi | Ranks are on both sides of Port Road near the main entry; a designated taxi zone is on Port Road before the traffic lights when travelling west, in front of the main entrance |
| Ride-share and private vehicles | A drop-off zone is on Port Road after the traffic lights when travelling west, in front of the Theatre, with a maximum stop of 2 minutes |
| Bicycle | Rails are in front of the Centre; bring your own lock, and parking is at your own risk |
The Centre says that during peak event times, all areas around the Centre may be congested, and it recommends allowing extra time.
What is there for families with young children?
A baby change room is in the Arena Foyer next to Door 22. For children’s events, the Centre says it has a dedicated pram cloaking area, and it asks you to speak to a team member on arrival for details. Bags must fit comfortably under your seat, and bags or backpacks larger than A3 (40cm x 30cm) are strictly prohibited; the Centre has no bag storage on site, and all bags are inspected on arrival. A Cloak Room next to Door 22 is not available for all events, and complimentary earplugs are available there or from staff.
Concerts and performances at the Centre can include flashing lights, laser, strobe, confetti, haze and pyrotechnics, and the Centre points anyone with questions about a specific event to its contact team. Video cameras, monopods, tripods, selfie sticks, audio recording devices and professional cameras are not permitted. Anyone under 18 using the Sensory Space must be with a responsible adult.
What food and drink is on sale?
The Centre has fixed and mobile food and drink outlets in the foyers and other public spaces, with confectionery, soft drinks and alcoholic drinks. Food items are limited to baguettes, hot chips, wedges, pizza slices, burgers, hot dogs, pies, pasties and sausage rolls, and the range can vary from event to event. The Arena has merchandise stands with EFTPOS, if merchandise is offered at your event.
What accessibility options are there?
Accessible seating, including wheelchair and mobility-restricted seating and seats for companions, is available in the Arena and is bought by choosing the Accessible filter on the Ticketek event page. If it is not available online, Ticketek takes bookings on 1300 665 915. The Centre is a Companion Card affiliate, and wheelchair access is available at all external Arena entry points at ground level.
For event days, accessible parking must be pre-booked during business hours (Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5pm), through the Centre’s team on (08) 8208 2222 or an online enquiry. Have your Disability Parking Permit number ready; standard parking rates apply and spaces are subject to availability. A Sensory Space supported by Novita is in the Star Courtyard, reached via The Orb on Port Road, at select events, and a Hidden Disabilities Sunflower lanyard can be collected from the Cloak Room or Sensory Space. First aid rooms are next to Doors 1 and 12 on the Foyer Level of the Arena.
