Getting to Brisbane Entertainment Centre by Public Transport
Boondall station is right beside the doors. Skip the car park crawl.

The easy answer: catch a train to Boondall station, which sits right beside the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, and walk the last few mostly covered minutes to the doors. After a big concert that train is the difference between home in half an hour and an hour of brake lights getting out of the car park.
Here is the detail: the train, event buses, parking, and getting home after the encore. The trip planner will sort the fastest route from your door.
The easy way in: the train
Boondall station is on the Shorncliffe line and sits directly beside the arena, a short, mostly covered walk from the platform to the entrance. Trains run regularly, and on concert nights services are stronger to move the crowd. From the city it is a straightforward ride with no changes for most people.
Event buses
For some major shows there are event shuttle buses, and regular bus routes serve Boondall too. If your trip is easier by bus the planner will route you, but the train is almost always the simplest option to this venue.
Parking, and why the train wins
There is parking at the centre, but it empties slowly, and the roads around Boondall and the nearby Gateway feed into a single post-show crush. By the time the car park clears, the train crowd is long gone. For a sell-out show, the train is the calm choice.
Getting home after
Head straight to Boondall station when the lights come up and you will usually catch a train within a short wait. For the late finishes, our last train home guide covers the after-dark timetable, and the planner shows live departures so you know exactly when the next one leaves.
