• 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 Margaret Court Arena.
• 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 include AO Dining experiences, Behind the Scenes Tours, Rod Laver Arena Walk-on Experiences and more.
• If you’re travelling with children, you can enjoy discounted tickets. Children aged 0-3 are free of charge if they sit on your lap. Children aged 3-11 are discounted. Children aged 12-18 are considered adults. There are plenty of activities for children of all ages, including a day care!
