What is the difference between a Grounds Pass and a reserved ticket?

A Grounds Pass is a general admission ticket, which gives you access to Melbourne Park for the entire day, including all outer arenas, warm-up courts, stages, brand activations, shops and more. If you want to watch the action on Rod Laver Arena or Margaret Court Arena, you will need a reserved ticket for either arena. Reserved tickets give you full access to Melbourne Park in addition to a reserved seat in your chosen arena on a per session basis. If you have a reserved ticket, you do not also need a Grounds Pass. Reserved tickets cover individual sessions, so after the day session finishes, you will need to leave the arena, but you can stay within Melbourne Park. If you have a night session, you cannot enter Melbourne Park or the arena until the night session begins in the late afternoon.

• If you want to see your favourite players up close and personal then opt for a first week package. This is a great option to enjoy the best of Melbourne Park, where seeded and non-seeded players can be seen on outer courts and warm-up courts, accessible with a Grounds Pass or reserved ticket on Rod Laver Arena or other arenas.
• Second week packages are where you’ll see the biggest matches and a Rod Laver Arena ticket is a must.
• If you have a day session ticket (on RLA or MCA), after the session concludes you can remain in Melbourne Park to enjoy the evening festivities and action on the outer courts. If you choose a reserved ticket for the night session, you can only arrive after 5:00 pm, so if you want to explore Melbourne Park by day, add a Grounds Pass to your package. Grounds passes give you access to Melbourne Park, outer courts and warm-up courts. Reserved tickets (whether RLA or MCA) also give you access to Melbourne Park as well as a reserved seat in the particular arena per session. Most fans choose Rod Laver Arena tickets where the biggest matches take place.
• If you’re looking for a unique experience, or if you’re entertaining friends, colleagues or clients, add an AO Premium Experience to your package or request more information about an RLA Superboxes for 12 or 18 people including food, drinks and open-air views over the court. AO Premium Experiences may include AO Dining experiences, Behind the Scenes Tours, Rod Laver Arena Walk-on Experiences and more coming soon.

Melbourne

Melbourne is a dynamic cosmopolitan city both stylish and forward-thinking, yet laid back and care free. The city is renowned for creative arts, world-class dining, amazing galleries, cafes, shops and spectacular sports and events. In the CBD, you will find hidden laneways brimming with street art, while just north you’ll find bohemian shopping strips and some of the best Italian food outside of Italy. Just outside the CBD, a short stroll or free tram ride away, is the world-famous MCG and Melbourne Park, host of the Australian Open. Intrepid travellers will adore this city for the endless opportunities that await; just one or two hours away lie wineries, National Parks, alpine towns and coastal roads. Melbourne has something for everyone and is the perfect host for your dream Grand Slam experience.

Climate

January is summer in Melbourne. Average highs are 26ºC and lows are 19ºC. Rainfall is limited and you can expect hot sunny days. We recommend choosing shaded seats for day sessions and Lower Bowl seats for night sessions. On exceptionally hot days, Rod Laver Arena’s roof will be closed and the arena will be air-conditioned, so there’s nothing to be concerned about; it’s all part of the summer tennis experience!
