This is our second visit to the tournament (2023/2026) and again we had a wonderful visit:
- Parking easy to find and shuttle service was quick and easy - very little waiting
- Volunteers plentiful, cheerful and helpful. Again, very little entry waiting, helpful finding seats
- Plenty of food options, but VERY expensive at Verde - $73 lunch for two - wrap, salad, cookie, 1 drink
- Appreciate the bottle filling option at the water fountains
- Phone app great - easy
- Weather perfect - glad to know you're on good terms with Mother Nature
- Like the post-match interviewer - does a great job of getting personality out of the contestants
Recommendations:
- In the Big Tent - would love to see better use of all four sides of the video cylinder - often only 1 or 2 screens actually showing matches. Would be very helpful if the screens could be elevated as much as possible for better visibility
- Wishing there were a few more opportunities to "mix" with the players, but not quite sure how to make that happen that would satisfy them. Enjoyed the after-match interviews buy TCLive, but the players have their backs to the crowd . . .
- Wish there was a way to expand the seating on Court 3 - doubles matches were slammed full on Tuesday - not sure how that worked out the rest of the
One silly question:
- Was there ANY plan or system for installing the various colored seats in the stadium - amazing how completely random the color scheme was - spent dead time pondering . . .
Great experience again. Wish there were more shaded seats . . .
It was great! Highly recommend the Club tickets. All the staff were friendly and helpful.
What a tournament! We had a great time.
This was my fourth time attending COCO. I love this tournament!
Food selection was ok.
There were no wines to speak of and the ones they had were way too expensive for the quality. They totally under-poured the glass of wine and I had to prove to them that I was given 3 Ounces....
Washrooms were clean at all times.
The upper sections of the stadium were only accessible by very scary 40 steps of what looked to be unsafe stairs with poor lighting and horrible handrails... We were lucky enough to get better seats in the bottom sections although the stairs were not much better but only 20 steps up.
Super disappointed at the no shows of all the advertised players. I won't be back unless some kind of certainty is given on who is playing for sure. The players list was not made public until just a couple of days before the event, I think that they misrepresented the players.
If they want better ranked players they need to up the price money and pick dates that don't coincide with other major events... I know that it is a challenge but that is the business!!
Tout était parfait....restos...toilettes...etc
Super
When the weather is warm and sunny two to three times more fruit & ice is required for the Pimms. Unlike last year please make sure there's enough. Please also lower the price of Pimms.
First time visiting the Adelaide International tournament. After going to the AO for many years, we thought we would try a different tennis experience and we were not disappointed. We saw some superb tennis matches with some highly ranked players. Tried different seating options over the few days that we attended, and all were good, although we particularly liked the seating with tables. All staff that we interreacted with were friendly and helpful and the food and drink options were very good. Only comment I would make to the tournament organizers is for more seating in the area where the food trucks are. We will definitely be back in future years.
Small event compared to Brisbane international but good tennis and very helpfull support staff. We had no idea where we were going on the first day. Courtside Club was a great spot but not for the night session due to sun going down though for maybe 30mins a level.
Book early for the best prices as well.
Stadium well sign posted and easy to move around. Ground staff very helpful and friendly.
Despite the umpires asking for quiet during play, the noise from the corporate areas was very loud and ongoing. Perhaps those hosting in the corporate boxes could brief their guests of common protocols at such events.
Other than that very enjoyable.
I absolutely loved your facilities , the tennis and the overall experience for my two days, for the $10 ground pass it was amazing value for money, on the Wednesday I had booked my seats, fabulous, I feel I am able to make these statements as I have the AO to compare as I have attended there for many days.
We regularly attend the Saturday evening semi-finals of the Brisbane International. This year though the schedule was changed so that we did not get to see a women's semi final, but instead a very mediocre women's doubles. The doubles was very disappointing and we, like many other people left early.
Everything about the tournament was absolutely amazing 🤩
Tennis tournament was excellent, I was there 3 days sitting in center court 😊🎾
Transport from Gould Coast was terrible!
We loved the tennis ,terrific lineup of top quality tennis players , well organised, but please add more coffee van’s ,the wait time was too long , especially Merlo please 🙏
Great tournament, first time at the Brisbane International, easy to get to from the CBD, well organised.
We did the Legends Lounge this year (did the Champions Club in 2025) and it didn’t deliver the hype. Felt bad that we invited friends along for the “premium” experience, only to find the all-inclusive premium drinks did not include any spirits and the premium food (which is represented very differently in the promotional pictures) was pretty average finger food for the most part, passed around on platters. Won’t be doing that again. Viewing of action was very good, but there are better ways to get the same effect.
The experience at this WTA 500 tournament was great...even though it was just the qualifiers but the atmosphere was really awesome!
Terrible event; rude staff, bad food and ugly seetring. it ain't Monte Carlo, That's for sure.
