WTA 500 Event Reviews

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.

Great day of tennis. The venue is lovely and the staff are so welcoming and excellent all round. You really feel part of the event. Thoroughly enjoyed the day. Would recommend anyone to try it especially if you are new to seeing tennis live. It will get you hooked.

This year it was downgraded to a 250 and although it didn’t have as many of the top seeds the tennis didn’t disappoint including the wheelchair tennis. Just a shame they put benches around the outside Courts and only room for 2 or 3 people on each 🥲

I have been coming to the Eastbourne Open for at least 20 years. I was so upset on Saturday at the finals day. Having paid £98 for a centre court ticket and watching one singles match scheduled for a 1.30 start the earlier part of the morning was wasted. No-where to sit - no band - coffee over £4 a cup. I was unable to stay for the men’s singles final which was rescheduled for 4pm as I would have been too late to get home. Your supporters catch trains!! How about considering your tennis supporters rather than TV schedules!! I will not be coming again to the finals day but will consider coming earlier in the week when at least the outside courts will be in action. Very very disappointing. Eastbourne in my opinion has been downgraded.

Since the Tournament has been downgraded. We still had a great

time, it was great to see so many British players. On the downside, we found it very expensive to eat and drink, a can of coke cost 3.50. I think lots of people were trying it out this year, it will be interesting to see if support remains in the next few years

Wonderful as always

Watched some good tennis. The problem was actually with the app and getting the tickets to be able to watch. There has got to be a much easier way for spectators to obtain a physical ticket. This system must b changed for next year.

Really enjoyed the event. My one suggestion would be that, the officials make sure that people are seated and not just left to find there own seat. For example, players were about to serve, when two people were let in, but they could not find there seat, I imagine they felt some pressure, as people were looking at them! But no official was there to help them. So not a good idea, for officials to let people in during play but not get them seated.

I did attend and I had a lovely day

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.
