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.
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!
Very god organised, super atmosphere!
Excellent! Good seats. Great food options
Friendly atmosphere,- love the easy access to all the courts-love the food choices and very best is the big open tent with tables and tvs and SHADE.Enjoyed the interviews on the deck- the parking and shuttle were also very east
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.
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.
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
Great tournament. Nice and close to the players. The roof helps with the heat too. Only negative was the outrageous prices for food and drink! Please reduce them for next year.
It was a great day for the whole family. The event was well organized, and there was always something to see and do. The kids wanted to have the opportunity to meet some players and get their autograph, that would be a great thing to have. Also being able to watch the stars train, maybe a system where people queue and get 5 minutes to watch and then move out to let everyone have a view.
I took my grandson (11 years old) to the finals as this was his Christmas present. It was such a shame that Reilly Opelka retired as we were very excited to see him play. The women's final was great to watch. It was great to see so many top players coming to Brisbane.
