Yes — the South Bank Parklands car park offers online booking through MultiScan Hub. This is especially useful for event nights when the car park fills quickly. BCEC parking does not offer advance booking.

On major event nights (concerts at Suncorp Stadium, QPAC shows, Brisbane Festival, Riverfire), the Parklands car park can fill by 6pm. We recommend arriving before 5:30pm on event nights, or booking in advance. The BCEC car park on Merivale Street is often a good alternative when the Parklands car park is full.

The closest parking to Suncorp Stadium is the South Bank Parklands car park (Tribune Street) and the BCEC car park (Merivale Street). Both are about a 10-minute walk to the stadium. Poppies is right between the car parks and the stadium — ideal for a pre-match dinner.
