About Indian Wells Tennis Garden - Grounds

Indian Wells Tennis Garden opened in 2000, with Stadium 1 debuting as the centerpiece of the complex and Stadium 2 added in 2014 as part of a major expansion. The facility is located at 78-200 Miles Avenue in Indian Wells, California, and is owned by Larry Ellison through his acquisition of the tournament and facility. Stadium 1 seats approximately 16,100, making it one of the largest tennis-specific stadiums in the world, while Stadium 2 seats approximately 8,000. Across the full complex, the Tennis Garden features 29 courts.

The venue is best known as the home of the BNP Paribas Open, a combined ATP Tour and WTA Tour professional tennis tournament held each March. Widely regarded as one of the finest tennis facilities in the world, the tournament is often called the “fifth Grand Slam” for its scale, prestige, and fan experience. The grounds have hosted tennis greats including Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Serena Williams, and many more ATP and WTA stars.

Beyond tournament tennis, the complex also hosts tennis exhibitions, concerts, festivals, food and wine events, corporate functions, and community events. The “Grounds” experience is defined by movement: fans can roam between outer courts, watch matches up close, and take in the open-air atmosphere across the landscaped desert setting.

Location & Transportation

Indian Wells Tennis Garden - Grounds is located at 78-200 Miles Avenue, Indian Wells, CA 92210 — in the Coachella Valley desert, with access from Interstate 10 and local routes including Washington Street and Miles Avenue.

Driving and Parking: Indian Wells Tennis Garden is a car-oriented venue, and most attendees arrive by driving or rideshare. On-site and nearby parking lots serve events, and shuttle service is commonly provided from satellite lots during the BNP Paribas Open. For major sessions, expect parking areas to fill and traffic to build before matches, especially around popular day sessions, weekend dates, and finals.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are accommodated, with designated zones used during major events. After high-demand sessions, wait times can be significant because many guests leave the grounds at the same time.

Transit: SunLine Transit Agency buses serve the broader Coachella Valley, but public transit is limited in the area and is not the primary option for most attendees.

Nearby Accommodation: Resort lodging is abundant throughout Indian Wells, Palm Desert, La Quinta, and Palm Springs. Luxury resorts, golf properties, and hotels near the Tennis Garden are popular choices for visitors attending the BNP Paribas Open and other major events.

Seating Levels: Stadium 1 includes lower and upper seating levels, along with suites and premium areas. Stadium 2 is a smaller bowl, while additional stadiums and field courts provide seated and standing viewing.

How Much Do Tickets to Indian Wells Tennis Garden - Grounds Cost?

Indian Wells Tennis Garden - Grounds ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the players scheduled, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from early BNP Paribas Open grounds admission to premium marquee sessions and special events.

Grounds admission for early BNP Paribas Open sessions can start relatively low, roughly around $30–$75. These tickets are often one of the most accessible ways to experience the Tennis Garden, especially for fans who want to roam the outer courts and watch multiple matches in one day.

Reserved stadium sessions in the middle of the tournament typically range from about $75–$250. Pricing depends on the session, seat location, day versus night timing, and player schedule.

Premium and marquee sessions, including finals and high-demand matches, can start around $250 and rise from there. Premium boxes, suites, and hospitality areas can be substantially higher, especially for weekend dates, finals, and sessions featuring top ATP or WTA players.

Concerts and special events vary by event, with pricing shaped by event format, demand, and the areas of the complex used for the experience.

Buying earlier generally secures better seat selection and value, particularly for finals and marquee sessions that sell out. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections often rise.

Getting Ready for Your Indian Wells Tennis Garden - Grounds Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a large outdoor tennis complex with multiple courts, desert weather, and peak tournament crowds.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cell service can be congested during peak tournament crowds. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Give yourself extra time to manage parking and traffic congestion, especially for popular day sessions and finals.
• Wear the right footwear. Expect extensive walking across outdoor grounds, landscaped pathways, and routes between courts. Comfortable, supportive shoes make a full session much easier.
• Dress in layers. The desert climate can bring warm, sunny days and cooler evenings. Sun protection such as a hat and sunscreen is useful for daytime sessions, while layers are advisable for night sessions.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Traffic and parking demand can build before major sessions, so arriving early gives you more time to park, enter, and reach your first court.
• Know your session. Knowing whether you have grounds access or a stadium session, and which courts you plan to visit, helps you navigate the large complex efficiently.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
