Nine has confirmed the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds will be the new home of Ninja Warrior, alongside Lego Masters and MasterChef. Audience tickets are now available for heats 1 to 4, from Monday March 16 to Thursday March 19. All are night sessions with filming starting from 8.30pm and won’t finish until around 3am. So the producers must have sorted out the noise issues with the local council and residents.
There are three types of tickets: Family Ninja (7.15pm arrival with 10.30pm approx finish), Nightowl Ninja (10pm arrival with 3am approx finish) and Ninja Superfan (entire session).

Was considering it until I saw it finished at 3am
Australian Ninja Warrior Season 4 Tickets Now Available
The fourth season of the ratings hit and worldwide phenomenon, Australian Ninja Warrior, will continue to thrill audiences in 2020.
With new challenges, a revitalised course and exciting new ninjas, audiences will be given a front-row seat to the show, with tickets now available to the public to see these amazing athletes in action.
After the stunning success of the last season, Melbourne cements its role as the home of Australian Ninja Warrior with a brand-new course, purpose-built at the Melbourne Showgrounds.
Hosts Rebecca Maddern, Ben Fordham and Freddie Flintoff will once again take viewers on the wild Ninja Warrior ride as fan favourites – and new ninjas – return to Melbourne for another season of thrills, spills and surprises, trying to tame the brutally difficult course. The total prizemoney will jackpot to $400,000. Who will be crowned this time?
Nine’s Head of Content Production and Development, Adrian Swift, said: “Australia has embraced Ninja as one of the most popular programs of the past decade. But nothing can compare to the exhilaration of seeing these athletes live, sitting right in the Ninja course.
“We invite Melburnians to come on down and check out our massive new course in its brand-new home at the Showgrounds.”

Same. It is on weeknights too. If it was the weekend I would have considered. I don’t know how they got noise clearance to run so late on weeknights.
I presume noise barriers like they’ve used in the past. Also they only end up shooting around 5-6 actual nights IIRC so they might have got special permissions.
2 shows are now being filmed at the Melbourne Showgrounds then. Masterchef and Ninja Warrior
Yes, not unusual, Family Food Fight and Lego Masters have also filmed there.
Filming for season 4 is supposed to start on Monday night, but will it go ahead? With or without an audience? It was posted elsewhere Ben Fordham would be based in Melbourne for the duration and present his 2GB show from the 3AW studios at Docklands.
Reduced audience I hear.
I believe there are three productions currently underway at the Melbourne Showgrounds. Masterchef, LEGO Masters and Ninja Warrior. That’s a lot of people in one place.
LEGO masters wrapped weeks ago

That is correct.
Australian Ninja Warrior begins filming its fourth season today at its new site, Melbourne Showgrounds.
A Nine spokesperson confirmed to TV Tonight it will be without an audience aside from a few family and friends - particularly challenging given the expansive course.
Also:
Rebecca Maddern replaced since needing to self-isolate after contact with Richard Wilkins.
Good news for Bec.
They’re still filming this week. I can hear fireworks going off at the The Royal Melbourne Showgrounds as I write this.

Sounds like they have just finished filming the grand final.

It was due to finish this week. Seems like it will be completed just in time.
They finished filming the Grand Final at 6:30am Thursday morning
More filming next week though
I’m assuming that might be touch ups shoots etc. I’m thinking they may redo some of the interview scenes that Rebecca Maddern misses at the start. But the bulk of the show has been completed.
