There have never been more ways to enjoy the world-class tennis action at Melbourne Park. 

The versatility of Australian Open 2025 tickets means that, whether you’re a tennis nerd, a casual fan, an early bird, a night owl, on a budget or simply someone who loves a big event on the calendar, there’s something for you.

TICKETS: Australian Open 2025

Across the three weeks of 6-26 January, you can experience:

• The excitement of AO Opening Week presented by Herald Sun, events building up to the main draw
• Dedicated main-draw night sessions at John Cain Arena
• All the action that unfolds all over the precinct on a Ground Pass
• A phenomenal music line-up in the final days as part of AO Live

Here are six options to consider when buying your tickets to the year’s first Grand Slam event.

Early-bird ground passes

From now until the end of November, AO ground pass tickets are set at early-bird pricing.

That means you can grab your week-one ground passes for just $49 – unchanged from 2024 pricing, and still one of the best-value sporting tickets in town – and $69 for the middle weekend.

Kids attend for even cheaper, with early-bird ground passes set at $10 for week one and dropping to just $5 in week two. 

Adults can enjoy a week two ground pass for just $19, representing excellent value for money.

But get in quick – from 1 December adult ground passes rise to $59 for week one, $85 for the middle Friday and Saturday, and $35 for week two, while kids ground passes change to $20 for the middle Friday and Saturday, and $15 for weeks one and two. 

John Cain Arena night sessions

If you want to watch blockbuster tennis under lights, you’re not restricted to buying tickets for Rod Laver Arena (RLA).

For the first time ever, John Cain Arena (JCA) offers both day and night sessions from 12-17 January, meaning you can catch even more tennis action on the People’s Court.

Tennis under lights at JCA has led to many of the Australian Open’s most iconic moments, especially for the host nation. 

It’s where Daria Saville – then Gavrilova – exploded onto the scene in 2016 with her 11-9 third-set win over Kristina Mladenovic to reach the fourth round, and where Nick Kyrgios famously saved a match point to stop Karen Khachanov in five sets at AO 2020.

During a recent interview on The Sit-Down podcast, Kyrgios described the JCA atmosphere in that third-round win over Khachanov as among the most memorable of his career.

MCA night sessions

There are even more night sessions to enjoy at Margaret Court Arena (MCA), which like Rod Laver Arena offers fans two matches under lights as part of their ticket.

It’s a more affordable way to attend the tournament – MCA night session tickets can be snapped up for as little as half the price as equivalent night session tickets at Rod Laver.

MCA offers a boutique Australian Open experience, with its 7,500-seat capacity – half that of RLA – ensuring an intimate atmosphere with the world’s best players up close.
