Melbourne hosts this famous tournament at the start of every year and draws visitors from all over the world, with most of the main notable matches held at the Rod Laver Arena. The tournament is held in January every year, so it’s the first Grand Slam title of the tennis season.

As part of ongoing expansion plans, the AO will continue to ramp up the attractions in the qualifying week and week two, embarking on a long-range attendance target of one million fans flocking to Melbourne Park.

As this is an elimination event, booking a ticket to see a particular player is not possible, as the next day’s schedule can only be announced the night prior. This tournament is a highlight of the nation’s summer sporting event calendar.

The free tram services on Route 70 from the CBD to Rod Laver Arena and Hisense Arena make transport to the Australian Open easy. You only need a valid Australian Open ticket for that day to catch the free tram. The service operates until one hour after the end of the play. Trains are also convenient, with Flinders Street, Jolimont and Richmond Stations within easy walking distance. From Flinders Street walk past Federation Square via Birrarung Marr along the Yarra River and follow the signs. Limited car parking is available, so those choosing to drive should arrive early.

Parking at the National Tennis Centre can be purchased as an upgrade when booking your tickets. Please note parking is limited and must be pre-purchased.

Public parking in Yarra Park is available for $10, payable by EFTPOS only. Please note that cash can no longer be accepted, and vehicles unable to pay via card will unfortunately not be allowed entry to Yarra Park.

Car parking in Yarra Park is subject to capacity. We advise that you arrive early to secure your parking, as capacity may be reached before the start of the match.
