This package includes reserved seats in Upper Baseline on Rod Laver Arena. Optional ticket upgrades are available, while stocks last.
Why Upper Baseline?
Upper Baseline seats are located in the front rows of the Upper Bowl, directly behind the baseline. As the best seats in the Upper Bowl, they offer an excellent elevated view with a clear perspective of the court. The angle closely mirrors what you see on TV, making following rallies and the ball much easier than on the sideline.
Upgrade options:
Prefer to sit closer or try a different view? We offer a variety of upgrade options (subject to availability on booking, see prices below):
Downgrades also available to suit your preferences or budget:
Our team is happy to recommend the best option based on your preferences, including helping you choose seats in the shade.
Do I need an extra Grounds Pass?
It depends. If you have a Day Session ticket on Rod Laver Arena or Margaret Court Arena, you’ll have full-day access to Melbourne Park, including before and after the Day Session. If you have a Night Session ticket, entry is from around 5:00 PM. To arrive earlier and enjoy Melbourne Park during the day, you’ll need a Grounds Pass. Our team will ensure you don’t double up—just ask us when booking.
Will my seats be in the shade?
