Ticket information

Warning: Always ensure tickets are purchased from an authorised Australian Open ticket agent, Australian Open Licensed Tour Operator or Australian Open Licensed Hospitality Agents. Failure to do so could mean that access to Melbourne Park is denied.

“After Five” Ground Pass
An After 5 Ground Pass is available again for Australian Open 2009 from Monday 19 January to Saturday 24 January only, and will provide access to Melbourne Park from 5:00 pm. Perfect for patrons attending after work and includes access (subject to availability) to a feature night match on Margaret Court Arena starting at approximately 7:30 pm.

Children
Children 2 years and under are admitted free to Melbourne Park, but must be nursed in seated areas.

Restricted View and Restricted Leg Room seats
Seats in the front 2 rows of Rod Laver Arena are sold as restricted view, as handrails and signage partially obstruct a patron’s view of the court. Seats in Row PP in RLA have restricted leg room, compared to all other rows in the arena.

Concessions
Concession prices for Rod Laver Arena and Hisense Arena tickets are available for children 15 years and under, full-time students and pensioners. Please note that only Australian student and pension cards are accepted and must be shown at the time the seats are purchased. Seniors cards and health care cards are not accepted. Concession tickets are not available for Ground Pass Entry.

Public transport information

Free shuttle trams
All valid Australian Open ticket holders are able to enjoy the FREE Yarra Trams shuttle services operating from the city to Rod Laver Arena and Hisense Arena.

Trams depart from Flinders Street from 8:30 am and continue to operate until one hour after the end of play, including Twilight and Night Sessions.

A valid Metcard is required for travel on trains, buses and non-shuttle tram services to the Australian Open.
