A message from our Director
Australian Open 2026 travel packages with tickets now available
The Australian Open is more than the first Grand Slam of the year. It is a celebration of summer, sport and culture in one of the world’s most vibrant and liveable cities. Held every January at Melbourne Park, the tournament brings together world-class tennis, live entertainment, outdoor dining and a festival atmosphere that sets it apart on the global sporting calendar.
For two thrilling weeks, Melbourne comes alive as over a million fans gather to watch legends and rising stars compete on the iconic blue courts of Rod Laver Arena, Margaret Court Arena and beyond. From the early rounds to the finals, the energy is electric and the mood is unmistakably Australian — open, upbeat and full of momentum.
But the experience goes far beyond the courts. Start your day with a flat white in a laneway café, then head to the tennis before ending your evening with drinks on a rooftop bar. Off court, explore Melbourne’s food scene, galleries and open-air markets, or take a day trip to the Yarra Valley, the Great Ocean Road or the Mornington Peninsula.
As a global leader in sports travel with over 30 years of experience, we work directly with many of the world’s biggest events and have delivered hundreds of thousands of trips and over one million tickets to guests from around the world. While we specialise in premium fan experiences, our expert team can personalise each trip to suit your needs, whether you are seeking great value on a budget or are a discerning traveller looking for the very best and a fully tailored experience.
Our official Australian Open 2026 travel packages, which include guaranteed tickets, accommodation and flexible add-ons, offer a seamless, secure and unforgettable Aus Open travel experience. We look forward to welcoming you to Melbourne.
