This page covers everything you need — from understanding how Australian Open works to finding the right tickets and knowing what to expect when you arrive.

About Australian Open

First held in 1905 (as the Australasian Championships), the Australian Open is one of tennis’s four Grand Slam tournaments and the first major of each calendar year. The tournament is held annually at Melbourne Park in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, typically in mid-to-late January, with a two-week main draw preceded by a week of qualifying. Since moving to Melbourne Park (then Flinders Park) in 1988, the event has been played on hard courts, helping shape the tournament into a signature stop on the global tennis calendar.

The Australian Open features single-elimination knockout draws across marquee divisions, including men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles, and mixed doubles, along with wheelchair, junior, and legends competitions. The singles main draws include 128 players each for men and women, with a qualifying tournament held the week before the main draw. In the finals format, men’s singles is best-of-five sets and women’s singles is best-of-three sets, with a final-set tiebreak (first to 10 points) used to decide the deciding set across events. Beyond the trophies, winners earn 2,000 ranking points (the maximum available at any tournament) and compete for one of the largest purses in tennis, with recent total prize pools in the AUD 90+ million range.

The event’s list of champions reads like a tennis history book: Novak Djokovic holds the record for most men’s singles titles at the event (10), while champions across eras include Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, Mats Wilander, Stefan Edberg, and Jim Courier. On the women’s side, notable champions include Serena Williams (7 titles in the Open Era), Margaret Court, Steffi Graf, Monica Seles, and Martina Hingis. Recent champions include Jannik Sinner (men’s singles, 2024 and 2025) and Aryna Sabalenka (women’s singles, 2023 and 2024), with Madison Keys winning in 2025. With three retractable-roof show courts and a lively precinct setting, attending in person is a can’t-miss experience — and if you’re planning to attend Australian Open, browsing tickets early is the smartest move.

How Much Do Australian Open Tickets Cost?

Australian Open tickets typically range from around $50 to $100 for grounds passes to $100–several hundred dollars or more for reserved Rod Laver Arena show-court seats, with premium packages running higher.

Several factors influence pricing most: session (day vs. night), round (early rounds vs. quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals), and which show court you choose. Costs also rise with seat proximity to the court, marquee player matchups, and proximity to the date. If you’re looking for strong value, grounds passes and upper-level reserved seats are often the best place to start, while courtside and hospitality options command the highest demand for prime sessions.

No hidden fees. At Box Office Ticket Sales, the price you see is the price you pay. All fees are shown before checkout — no surprise charges when you reach the final step.

Getting Ready for Australian Open Match Day

Once your tickets are confirmed, a little preparation goes a long way — especially with Melbourne’s hot summer conditions during the tournament.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cellular service near large events can get congested on match days. Save them to your phone's wallet or screenshot them as a backup.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is the standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having.
• Arrive early. Give yourself extra time for entry and security, especially on high-demand dates.
• Use public transport if you can. Melbourne Park is served by free tram and rail access from Melbourne’s CBD, with Richmond and Jolimont stations nearby and a dedicated pedestrian route from the city.
• Plan parking ahead. Limited on-site and nearby parking is available in the sports precinct, and public transport is strongly encouraged during the tournament due to high demand.
• Plan your rideshare. Designated rideshare and taxi pickup/drop-off zones operate near the precinct during the event.
• Check the bag policy before you go. Bags are permitted subject to size limits and security screening, and all bags are subject to search on entry.
• Bring a card or mobile payment — many vendors are cashless.
• Pack for the weather. Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses), a refillable water bottle, and comfortable clothing are smart adds for January heat.
