Overview
- Venue operators and Afterpay announced a five-year naming-rights partnership to rename the venue Afterpay Arena, with a formal launch planned in the coming months.
- The deal adds Afterpay’s buy-now-pay-later option for tickets, letting fans pay in four interest-free instalments.
- Square point-of-sale systems from Block will run across the arena to speed transactions at food, drink, and merchandise stands.
- A staged rollout has started with new signage, interior updates, and integrated payment touchpoints, while the arena keeps its full event schedule under the current name for now.
- Built for the Sydney 2000 Olympics, the arena draws over 1.1 million visitors a year and was named a top five global music venue in 2025 after passing 15 million tickets sold in March 2026.
