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.
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
