Australian Open 2007 - is almost here!

QUOTE
The first Grand Slam of the 2007 tennis calendar, which takes place from 15–28 January 2007, will see over 500 of the world’s top players competing for a total prizepool of exactly AUD$20million.

The winners of the men’s and women’s singles alone will pick up AUD$1,281,000 each. Tennis Australia CEO Steve Wood said, “The Australian Open is one of the biggest sporting events on the planet and is a fantastic advertisement for all that’s best about Australia and the wonderful world of tennis.

Ticketing

A range of ticketing options have been designed to help fans find the ideal solution to enjoying the Grand Slam of Asia/Pacific. Series Packages offer five action-packed Rod Laver Day or Night Sessions from 15-19 or 20-24 January, while those looking to attend just the semi finals and finals can purchase the Championships Package covering the final five sessions from Thursday 25 through to Sunday 28 January on Rod Laver Arena.

Australian Open 2007 sees the introduction of new Series Packages for Vodafone Arena with savings of $20 per package. The Volley Series Package covers the first four days from 15-18 January and the Top Spin Series Package covers the next four days from the 19th to 22nd.

These exclusive Series Packages are on sale for two days only (Thursday 5 and Friday 6 October). Rod Laver Arena and Vodafone Arena single session tickets go on sale on Saturday 7 October until sold out.

The hugely popular - and great value - Australian Open Ground Passes, which offer access to matches on the outside courts, the concerts in Garden Square, and free tram travel around Melbourne, go on sale from Friday 1 December.

These are just $19 in the second week of the tournament (except the final weekend when the ticket price of $20 includes the special finals’ day concerts in Garden Square) or $29 on the first eight days which also includes access to the unreserved seating in Vodafone Arena and the Night Feature Matches on Margaret Court Arena.

The After Five Ground Pass, which gives access to Melbourne Park from 5pm, also goes on sale from 1 December for only $20 and includes access to the Night Feature Match on Margaret Court Arena and the concerts in Garden Square.

Families, too, can enjoy the action, with the great value Family Ground Pass which, for only $80, offers access for two adults and two children (or one adult and three children). Bookings can be made by phoning 1300 888 104 (or +61 2 8736 2711 for international callers); in person at over 150 Ticketek agencies across Australia or New Zealand; or via the internet at www.AustralianOpen.com.

Fans buying any Ground Pass will also be able to use the EZY-Ticket option which enables them to print their tickets from their own computer.

A separate disability bookings ticket brochure and access map is available by phoning +61 3 9286 1208 or go to www.AustralianOpen.com.

they have had quite a bit of drama around the tennis this year.

i think i will be glad when it is over also.

you know "24" starts on TV next Tuesday! woo hoo. that is one of my favourites TV shows. for those of you who don't know what i am talking about, its basically a show about a counter-terrorism unit who have to save the world in 24 hours. and there is an episode for each of the 24 hours. it has lots of twist and turns!

cheers, glen
