Tickets to 2021 Australian Open now on sale

The 2021 Australian Open is weeks away, and tickets for first Grand Slam of the year are now on sale.

Scheduled to begin on February 8, 2021, there was some uncertainty surrounding the event due to the ongoing pandemic. However, after consultation with the Australian health authorities, the event was given the green light and will occur two weeks after it's usual start date.

“The AO will be a great celebration for Melbourne and all Victoria after an incredibly tough year,” Australian Open Tournament Director Craig Tiley said.  

“Although our event will look a little different as we prioritize the safety of everyone, it’s going to be a fantastic opportunity to come together and experience many of the best things about Melbourne – live, world class sport in an exciting festival atmosphere.

“Tickets will be more limited this year so you’ll need to get in early to secure your seat. We are starting ticket sales at 25 per cent of capacity in our three main stadiums and as we work closely with the Victorian government, hope to be in a position to increase our numbers as we get closer to the event.

“We can’t wait to see everyone at Melbourne Park in February.”

Ticket prices have been frozen or reduced in many categories for 2021 which takes into account the change in access to different areas onsite.

Tickets start at just $49 for John Cain Arena, the same cost as a Ground Pass in 2020; Rod Laver Arena starting prices are the same as 2020, from $62 for a day session and $65 at night; while MCA starting prices are down from 2020, starting at just $56 for day sessions and $60 at night.
