  • Rod Laver Arena ticket upgrades

    This package includes Upper Baseline Tickets on Rod Laver Arena

    Upper Baseline seats are located behind the baseline in the front of the upper level (there’s two levels, lower and upper), offering a similar view to that on TV, looking down the court. From there you can upgrade to the Lower Bowl to be closer to the court, either behind the baseline or on the sideline with various options available. For those looking to be right by the action, there are also Super Row Tickets, which offer guaranteed seats in the very first row (A) and can be anywhere around the arena including on the baseline or the sideline.

    Additionally, you can downgrade your seat from Upper Baseline to Rear Upper Baseline, Upper Sideline, Rear Upper Sideline or High Upper Sideline on request, although it’s not recommended.
    Please note: During Day Sessions, the sidelines are in the sun (both east and west side). See the striped colours on the RLA map below for an indication of sun vs shade seats or ask our team for recommendations, we’ve tried them all.
