How do you Get Tickets to the Australian Open in 2023?

Tickets for the Aussie Open each year usually go on sale on the TicketMaster website sometime in December each year.

According to the official tournament website, tickets for the 2023 tournament will go on sale on Wednesday, 12th of October 2022.

In previous years, you could buy tickets to one of the main show courts (Rod Laver Arena, Margaret Court Arena, and John Cain Arena (previously Melbourne Arena)) or you could choose to buy a Grounds Pass that will give you access to the smaller courts.

If you want to have a chance of watching some of the bigger names in tennis like Nadal, Federer, or Swiatek play at the Aussie Open then you need to get a Rod Laver Arena ticket as this is where most of the big matches are played.

Where to stay when attending the Australian Open Tennis

Below are a couple of options for hotels close to Melbourne Park.

The Grand Hyatt Melbourne – If you are looking for a luxury option when visiting the tournament then The Grand Hyatt Melbourne is a great option.

The Grand Hyatt is a five-star hotel located on Collins Street and is a short 10-minute walk from Melbourne Park.

Ink Hotel Melbourne Southbank – If you are on a budget, then a good option would be the Ink Hotel Melbourne Southbank which is around a 5-minute drive from Melbourne park.

Tips for First Visitors to Melbourne Park

Try and stay in a hotel close to Melbourne Park – There are plenty of hotels near Melbourne Park as it will make your life much easier if your hotel is within walking distance of the park.

Be prepared for the weather – Temperatures in Melbourne can be as high as 79 degrees Fahrenheit (26 degrees Celsius) in January so it is important that you have adequate sunblock and that you reapply when necessary.

Aim to attend the Open in the first week – I would recommend going to the Aussie Open in the first week as if you only have a grounds pass then you still have a good chance of seeing some top players playing in some of the smaller outside courts.

If you purchase a ground pass in the second week of the tournament, then there will be fewer singles matches played on the outside courts.

Where can you watch the Australian Open on TV or Online?

How to watch the Australian Open in Europe

Tennis Australia struck a long-term broadcast rights extension with US media giant Discovery which means you will be able to watch the Aussie Open on Discovery’s Eurosport channel all across Europe until 2031.

How to watch the Australian Open From the US

The best way to watch the tournament from the US is on ESPN or the Tennis Channel as they both provide coverage of the Aussie Open each year.

How to watch Australian Open from Other Countries

I would recommend checking out the Aussie Open Official website as they have a full list of broadcast partners from across the world.
