Australian Open ticket prices slashed
TICKET prices to the Australian Open will be slashed next year in an ace for sports fans.
The starting price of a seat on centre court will be cut by $15 during the day and $20 at night in a ticket shake-up aimed at making the tennis Grand Slam more affordable for families.
Entry level tickets to next year’s men’s final will be $110 cheaper.
The cost of popular ground passes which provide access to all outdoor courts as well as Melbourne Arena and the AO Live Stage for music will be frozen at this year’s price of $49. And more seating choices than ever will be available when they go on sale tomorrow, including the ability to choose which side of the court you want to sit on for the first time.
The entry-level day ticket for Rod Laver Arena at Australian Open 2019 will be just $62 and night sessions will start at $65, after this year setting back fans $85.
Tennis Australia commercial chief Richard Heaselgrave said there was a push to make the tournament more accessible for tennis fans.
“AO 2019 will offer fans an even more affordable entry price point into Rod Laver Arena and will increase the options for all tennis fans,” he said.
Mr Heaselgrave added it was “the best-value sporting ticket in the country”.
Single session Rod Laver Arena, Margaret Court Arena, Melbourne Arena and ground passes go on sale via ticketek.com.au at 9am tomorrow.
