“After Five” Ground Pass
An After 5 Ground Pass is available again for Australian Open 2008 from Monday 14th January to Saturday 19th January only, and will provide access to Melbourne Park from 5.00pm. Perfect for patrons attending after work and includes access (subject to availability) to a feature night match on Margaret Court Arena starting at approximately 7.30pm.

Children
Children 2 years and under are admitted free to Melbourne Park, but must be nursed in seated areas.

Restricted View and Restricted Leg Room seats
Seats in the front 2 rows of Rod Laver Arena are sold as restricted view, as handrails and signage partially obstruct a patron’s view of the court. Seats in Row PP in RLA have restricted leg room, compared to all other rows in the arena.

Concessions
Concession prices for Rod Laver Arena and Vodafone Arena tickets are available for children 15 years and under, full-time students and pensioners. Please note that only Australian student and pension cards are accepted and must be shown at the time the seats are purchased. Seniors cards and health care cards are not accepted.
