Hi there, we used the tram to get to the arena and walked back along with the crowds from the concert. We felt totally safe getting back to our hotel. Have a great time, we absolutely love Melbourne.

I contacted tennis australia and they say there is no storage space at the arena, and they do not anticipate adding space for the 2023 open. They suggest you hire space at a local hotel, or hire a car park. I have tried contacting southern cross station, but their phone is out of order. The pullman hotel is close to the arena. However, they are likely to be heavily booked, si it would making inquiries early.

the tennis firstly is amazing, hope that you can go and enjoyit. i too am claustrophobic, and have no troubles with the seating, of course seats are close, as in side by side, and there is enough room for your knees ....i have been to the tennis heaps of times and always have a backpack and stow that under my seat. give it a go, you will love it and if not there is always heaps to do outside, go find the outside training courts where the players warm up....lots to do ...have fun God bless

if it is saying its obstructed, look for another seat. you pay good money for your tickets and you dont want to be looking at a post.' :( I have many times sat in double lettered seats at the tennis and you get a good view. Make sure that you get seats not in the sun!! it can be very uncomfortable on a stinking hot day

So sorry I am unable to translate your question

Go to a night session and remove the issue of the sun

Get to Flinders St then catch the tram down to Rod Laver Arena from Flinders St tram stop outside the station. Tram staff will trll you which one to catch

7 pm usually the sun is still out and it can be really hot, but it depends on the day. There are sections on the arena which are shaded. When you buy tickets you can specify that you are interested on the shaded side, but tickets are sold to the public in October and the best seats are gone by that time. I have attended the Australia Open for the past 9 years and have had some really hot and sunny days but "it is worth" it. The AO is the best grand slam, I have been to two others and they don't compare.

They have so many arenas that I saw no lines ever...you just walk in... to get into the main gates is incredibly swift compared to the US Open. Most of the people were drinking and eating outside the arenas and partying on the lawns in front of the big screens. This is our third Grand Slam and we liked it the best!
