You don’t need tickets just to walk around the Sydney Opera House grounds. The outdoor areas, steps, and harbor views are completely free to access. Tickets are required if you want to attend a performance, concert, or guided tour. Prices vary depending on the event, seat location, and time of year. Some shows sell out quickly, especially popular ones. Guided tours usually run daily and are easier to book last-minute. Many visitors choose to enjoy both the free outdoor areas and a paid experience inside.
