Hilary Duff at RAC Arena, Thursday 29 October 2026: Doors 6:30pm, Train Travel Included, $30 Parking From 5pm and the Yanchep Line Closure (Perth, WA)

If you are going to Hilary Duff at RAC Arena on Thursday 29 October, the train is the plan Transperth builds its event page around: your ticket includes travel on all Transperth services for three hours before, during and three hours after the show, and Perth Station and Perth Underground are a short walk from the arena. If you live on the Yanchep Line, check the closure section first. The line is disrupted between Clarkson and Yanchep that night, the last full-line train leaves Perth Underground at 7.51pm, and the show starts at 7:30pm.

This guide uses RAC Arena’s event and parking pages and Transperth’s event and service update pages, checked on Monday 26 October 2026. Perth uses Australian Western Standard Time (UTC+8), with no daylight saving, so all times here are Perth times.

What time do the doors open and when does Hilary Duff start?

What	Time
External merch opens, box office opens	4:00pm
RAC Local Lounge opens (reserved ticket holders only)	6:00pm
Doors open	6:30pm
Show starts	7:30pm
Hilary Duff	8:45pm (Transperth’s event page)

These are the times on the RAC Arena event page and Transperth’s page for the show; the arena says timings are subject to change without notice. It describes the night as Hilary Duff’s first performance in Perth, on her Lucky Me tour, with special guests La Roux. The event is listed as all ages, and tickets are sold through Ticketek, online, on 13 28 49 or at a Ticketek agency. The arena says tickets start to be delivered closer to the event date. Neither page gives an end time for the night, so plan your trip home from the train times below.

Is public transport included with my ticket?

Yes. Transperth says your ticket includes travel on all Transperth services for three hours before, during and for three hours after the event, and that you show your ticket to the driver or inspector. RAC Arena’s transportation page says the same for tickets that carry the Transperth logo.

• You must have your event ticket with you to travel at no extra cost.
• If you plan to collect your ticket at the venue, Transperth says you will need to pay a normal fare to get there.
• Thursday is a weekday, so Transperth says you still pay for parking at its train stations: $2 a day, or any part of a day, between 5am and 9pm on weekdays. If your event is joint ticketed and you park at a station, Transperth says to use the Pay ‘n’ Display option. Our Park ‘n’ Ride guide covers the rules.

What is happening on the Yanchep Line?

Transperth’s service update says the Yanchep Line is disrupted nightly from Sunday 25 to Thursday 29 October for maintenance works. On Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 October the disrupted section is between Clarkson and Yanchep.

Night	Section disrupted	Last full-line train from Perth Underground
Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 October	Clarkson and Yanchep	7.51pm (Yanchep Station 8.28pm)

For this show that means:

• Trains from the arena towards Yanchep after the show run Perth to Clarkson only, according to Transperth’s event page. The same page lists 10.32pm, 10.47pm, 11.02pm and 11.17pm departures from Perth Underground, Platform 1.
• Train replacement bus Route 904 runs while trains are cancelled. Transperth says passengers should allow extra travelling time and that replacement buses may not connect with timetabled bus and train services.
• The replacement bus timetable will be available in the Transperth app and JourneyPlanner, and the app can track the bus in real time. The service update does not publish it.
• Bicycles are not permitted on Transperth buses, including replacement services.
• Full train services resume from the start of timetabled services each morning.

The last full-line departure is 7.51pm, which is after the 7:30pm show start. The arena says patrons who are late may not be admitted until there is a suitable break in the event, so if you live north of Clarkson, check the replacement bus timetable before you leave home.

Which trains run after the show?

Transperth says to walk back from the arena to Perth Station or Perth Underground. For this show it lists these departures:

Line	From	Departures
Yanchep	Perth Underground, Platform 1	10.32pm*, 10.47pm*, 11.02pm*, 11.17pm* (*Perth to Clarkson only)

Transperth adds that timetabled buses will operate across the network, and that there will be no additional bus services at suburban stations to connect with the extra train services. If your trip home includes a bus from a suburban station, check that bus timetable before you go. Transperth’s InfoLine is 13 62 13.
