VIP Entertainment Packages

Being a VIP can have its advantages

Being a VIP not only has tax benefits for your business, you can make sure of the best seats in the house from May - weeks before the tickets go on sale to the general public. A risk free purchase.

All seats are available for bookings in the Premium rows - there are no partners or sponsors - only the referees!


Either Two or Three Finals Sessions Available
 
VIP Packages are only available for the Premium seats directly behind the rear wall of the Centre Court and only for either the Satruday Semi Finals and the Sunday Finals (2 Sessions); or for the Friday Evening Men's Quarter Finals and the Saturday and Sunday Semis and Finals (3 Sessions). Simply choose whether you want to include the Mens' Quarter Finals on the Friday Evening to maximise your enjoyment; or limit the fun to the Semi Finals and Finals of the Men's and Women's Events on Saturday and Sunday.

Acces to the VIP Lounge

All of the Open's VIPs will enjoy access to the VIP Lounge during the finals series play on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the Australian Open. This quiet and stylishly furnished area provides the ideal place to relax between matches and entertain friends, employees and clients.

The VIP Lounge will provide 'Airline Lounge' style complimentary food and drink with the option of catching up with sport on television or quietly relaxing to music. Please note - the VIP Lounge will be closed while the Men's Final is being played on the Centre Court.

Choose the Number in Your Group

Improving on 2011, we have introduced flexibility to meet your individual circumstances into the VIP Entertainment Packages. You can choose how many people you want to book Entertainment packages for - from a single ticket to a group of ten. You can also choose either a 2 Session (Saturday and Sunday) package or make the most of the opportunity to see squash played at an elite level and choose a Package that includes the Men's Quarter Finals on the Fiday Evening, as well as the Semi and Finals on the following days. We have also matched our VIP Lounge access to each choice and included the cost in each ticket.

Choose your seats, pay online and be certain that you are in the best position to enjoy elite squash in August in Canberra.

Please note, the seats for other sessions will not be available for a few weeks into May - you will be notified by email when the pre-release ticketing for all sessions is available.

Advertising and Sponsorship Available

If you are interested in becoming a Partner or Sponsor of the Australian Open either in addition to your VIP Entertainment Package or separately, please ring Squash ACT directly on 6282 3824 immediately before the ticket allocation is exhausted. Don't wait.

Alternatively contact us by email - send a message now - and we will get back to you urgently.

Tournament Director's Hint

Plan your Australian Open experience now with you family or friends - then go online as soon as the other seats are released and book your tickets in the best position and all together. We expect that the Premium area of reserved seating will book out quickly, so if you want to add friends later, it is very unlikely that you will be able to sit together.
