I bought tickets because Rafa Nadal was announced as a participant. When he withdrew, I wasn't able to get my money back.
Great seats concessions cost to high
Hated traffic getting to Dallas open
Our Dallas Open 2024 experience was just Great! We loved the venue and the atmosphere - it was so easy to watch the matches and feel part of the tournament. Everyone was polite and tennis-minded!
THE ACTUAL EVENT WAS GREAT, HOWEVER THERE WAS ONE LARGE DRAWBACK THIS YEAR FOR US. THE SEATING AND SPACE ALLOWED FOR PEOPLE AND THEIR NEEDS WAS EXYTREMELY POOR THIS TIME. THE SEATS WERE OLD AND NOT COMFORTABLE AND IT APPEARS THE ALLOCATION OF SEATS WAS TO MUCH FOR THE SPACE PEOPLE NEEDED. LAST YEAR (SAME LOCATION) THE SEATING / SPACE WERE MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE.
1. Seats are extremely uncomfortable in the north and south stands. Most people were forced to stand up between games to give their behinds a break from the hard chairs. My sister and I brought seat cushion with us after the first day’s experience, and that helped somewhat.
2. During the first part of the week, the PA system was appalling. It was impossible to hear the winners’ courtside interviews after the matches, or any announcements. The music that was played in the breaks was so distorted that it was very unpleasant. This was somewhat rectified by the end of the week, but it should have been fixed before the end of the first day.
3. Ticketmaster is a terrible app to book tickets on. Every session has to be booked and paid for as a separate booking. There was no way to book several sessions and pay for them altogether.
4. The tennis was fantastic! Loved all the matches we saw.
Only criticism is ..when coming from the bottom end of Stanley Street and have seats in the Redwood Stand, we should not have to walk all the way up the hill to the Main entrance, but should be allowed to enter lower down Stanley Street near the Admin. Entrance.
Great experience
What an amazing experience...every aspect beautifully presented. Volunteers super helpful and friendly...was my 70th birthday...what a gift. Keep it up. We'll be back
The organisers did a fantastic job to get tennis of this quality to NZ and turn Stanley Street into a wonderful environment for the duration.
I have been to the event for many years starting in 1975 when the courts were grass. Onny Paron the Kiwi was the best player i those days. A huge change since. The best development was when the event became much more spacious over the adjoining road which provides for so much extra entertainment under the lovely oaks. The possibility when there could have been a roof has been missed. A fundamental mistake at that most opportune time before the Next Generation arrived. The reason I consider to be lack of outstanding leadership. With W.T.A. Rules imminent the future and it's impact remains to be seen.
First time at the ASB classic and its not the last. My friend and I bought tickets for the men's final in the Yock stand, but we bought ground passes for 3 other days. The experience was great, loved the atmosphere, everyone happy. We sat on comfy chairs under a tree to watch the big screen.Perfect. Huge choice of food and drinks.
We will be there next year.
Adelaide International - Semi Finals Day was a great day for the tennis - we attended the day session court side and the evening in the South Stand but in both areas the seating is a little uncomfortable and the catering needs some improvement.
I sat in the disabled section. Good view, space to put walking stick & aids. Easy access within venue eg small distance between lift and seating.
On my arrival, the attendent had no idea where to locate me. She suggested I go to the Western end of the North stand where there were fixed seats! I pointed out that the seats would have to be moved to fit in a wheel chair! She really did not want to be helpful. I politely stayed until It was sorted. All was well in the end.
We are from Scotland and have come to Australia to visit both Adelaide and Australian open. I have been to Wimbledon a number of times but Adelaide is so much better. It is friendlier and you get much closer to the play. W
We had our photo taken a number of times from players. We stayed at Eos city and had photo taken with Korda and Musetti as they returned to their hotel . Brilliant experience
We were relieved to be able to have our driver drop us out the front. There was a delay processing our digital tickets as the machine broke down, we were told a technical issue. Thing is there was no backup machine and everyone waited for 15 minutes in hot afternoon sun. As one lady pointed out they force you to buy digital tickets there are no other options so they need to make it effective and efficient. The Southern stand afternoon sun was scorching, no shade, and noticed other sections where sun was beaming in as it was setting. Alot of comments from spectators about this, being hot, and everyone sweating. The Southern stand female toilet was one toilet only and while the assistant suggested we use other female toilets it was either upstairs to the northern end or to the eastern side, more of a walk for spectators with bad knees or walking issues or older. My mum just sat in the southern stand the whole 2 games as she couldn't do all the stairs and walking and waiting for the one toilet available that was close but long line up. The food tasty but rather expensive. We only drank water provided which was easily accessible. The overall experience and facilities provided was not comfortable for us. Next year we will watch on TV. The tennis and players were great of course. Disappointed. There needs to be improvements for spectators comfort and convenience.
I watched QFs and SFs. There were many audiences and the atmosphere was very good.
On the other hand, it was kind of disappointing that the flow of the match changed a couple of times due to miscalls of the line judges.
Also, I didn't know where to buy tournament merchandises. I wanted to buy a strap for a smartphone but I could not.
Great event which attracted many big names in tennis. Getting to the event and entry in to the stadium was easy and straight forward.
The tennis was great but not enough seating around the bars and options for drink & food. Needs to step it up there.
Game was great. Getting home was horrible, there were no taxi's, Uber's - no one knew where to go, including the taxi's etc. Thought we might not get home.
Great event, well organized. People are friendly and it has a great atmosphere. Great experience for the whole family.
