20 years ago we were in Estbourne for the first time. In those days only the woman played. We go not every year but so now and then. We like Grass tennis and the atmosphere at the park is always terrific. We drink a glass of pims (which we do not have at home) we always make walks in the dawns to seaford and visit the TIGER INN at East Dean. We also go a day to brighton and we attended a play (murder in the park) in the devon theatre All these sings together makes it a fantastic holiday in Eastbourne in our B&B near the seaside. This year we could not make it but we certainly come again to Eastbourne.
Getting tickets online was a nightmare. I spent a whole day fearing my tickets were not going to come through. Instructions were badly written and not explained in language easily understandable. Quick and easy it was NOT. At no point did I receive a special code number which was supposed to give me access. Sorted well at D. Park but this shouldn't really happen.
Refreshments onsite were very limited.
The tennis, of course, was wonderful but access to tickets has got to be made easier particularly for we older tennis fans.
A good dayout! Facilities were good!
Maybe need another coffee stall! Less food choices this year too
The only thing which spoiled an otherwise brilliant day was the catering provision. The only sandwiches available were on white, gluten free bread. This would have been ok but the bread was inedible, having the taste and texture of hard, flaky cardboard!
Bella locazione, delusione per erba sintetica ovunque
Excellent venue! Up close Tennis at its best.
Over all it was a good experience.
It would have helped to have to entry points for Tribuna 3.
Also to have an alignment between the time granting acces during breaks and the time the players where ready, the people where still standing and the game was resumed.
A great venue with some surprisingly good players, considering it was a 250 event. Found the seats slightly uncomfortable, as they had no back support. Good that a fair amount of seats were in the shade. To put the tournament on a global level, beer sales on site would help. I understand the alcohol situation in Morocco, but directly opposite the venue are 3 bars/restaurants all selling beer.
It was’t announce the hour for sngle final , after that was pospone.
This was a great venue and well organised. However not being allowed to bring food and particularly water into the event is real downside especially when it is very warm.
The facilities are OK but the booing and bullying noise from the spectators made the experience unpleasant
Très belle atmosphère, facile d'accès, personnel très aimable (surtout les bénévoles). Nous n'avons pas réussi cependant à obtenir la passe VIP que nous devions avoir pour accéder au village, ce qui n'était pas imortant pour nous. Les indications n'étaient claires pour personne.
Disappointing this year. Struggle to get there due to the public transport closures. Games rescheduled on the day to what seemed illogical decision so 3 games to be played from 4.30pm and no games prior. The last game would be starting very late. Quite a big ask for spectators to stay that late then with very limited transport home. The mens final only lasted 1 game ( out of the organisers control i know) but paid $400 to watch one game as the mens ended early and the doubles would finish too late to get home. Not great value for money . What we did see was amazing but not great organising in general this year . Have been for many years but not a great experience.this year unfortunately.
Disappointing not to see any of the world top competitors at this event, the atmosphere layout and experience was great. Drinks and eats were very expensive, and these prices really need to be looked at. Not sure if I'd go again
As usual the organisation and players were great. Unfortunately I have the same ‘complaint’ as I have voiced by emails previously. I accompany a person with disability and the first time we were seated in the North stand area for disability seating the chairs provided were good. Last year and this year they are not suitable. To hard and not easy for anyone to push themselves up from. I did observe that the good chairs are still being used in the lower east court side section. So therefor I see no reason why these cannot also be provided or at least given as an option to persons with disabilities! Frankly even I have suffered from a sore back today even though we brought cushions to help and I do not have a disability. It would also be polite to have at least an acknowlefgement of this correspondence.
We enjoyed the final day , but was dissapointed with quarter final day with players pulling out of games due to injury and we didnt get value for our tickets.Overall the tournament was well run , but some foods were too costly . Example magnum ice cream for $8.20 and Pirate Beer can $15
Well organised event with easy access to facilities.
Disappointed that local wines weren’t available in the general admission area.
Awesome time, but where was Coco?!
Really well organised with heaps of staff and helpers to make the experience so smooth. Only gripe was the unavailability of the east room which was given over to the corporate big wigs....
Good Value Event
