The troupe’s Australia/New Zealand marketing director Nathan Brown said he expects more than 10,000 fans to fill the stadium.
Currently tickets are still on sale via Ticketmaster (they range from $45.90 to $105.90).
Here’s what you need to know:
GATES OPEN
VIP & Track Walk ticket-holders need to be at the stadium by 1:15pm for a 1:30pm start. The experience includes meeting a selection of athletes and walk around the track.
Gates open to the general public at 3pm with the show to start at 4pm.
WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS
Nitro spokesman Nathan Brown says while the riders can’t do their tricks in the rain there is no concern about the show not going ahead.
He says they will be bringing in extra manpower and resources on Friday due to morning rain to ensure the stage setup is ready by Saturday for eager fans.
If a freak rain storm suddenly appears on Saturday, the backup is to run the show on Sunday.
