Select the seat you want using the Interactive Seating Map

Whether you are familiar with Melbourne Park and have your ideal view already selected or you want complete control over your purchasing experience, we know that having the ability to choose your seats is super important, and we want to make sure the process is as quick as possible when you’re buying tickets against the clock.

That’s why you have the freedom to choose the seats you want via our Interactive Seating Map.

To get started, click on a section of the map to zoom in on seats and see what is currently available. Scroll left and right, and zoom in and out to navigate around the venue.

Then, select a seat and zoom right in to get a preview of what your view might look like.

Please note: If you’re booking for an event that’s in high demand, you may not see the interactive seat map when you first log on to buy tickets. In instances where we have a lot of fans trying to buy tickets at the same time, we aim to make your checkout experience as fast as possible. The interactive seating map will be deactivated to speed things up for you and boost your chances of securing tickets.

Want a memento? Grab a collector ticket

If you’re looking for a small piece of memorabilia to remember your AO23 experience by, look no further than a limited-edition Collector Ticket and lanyard.

A collector ticket is a souvenir, 3D-style ticket which not only gets you into the event, it also serves as a treasured keepsake to be kept well after the tournament is over.  

Collector tickets are only made available for selected events and can be purchased through the normal purchase processes – be sure to select a “Collector Ticket” when choosing your ticket type. 

Collector tickets can only be delivered to fans via mail, and cannot be sent as Print-at-Home or E-Tickets, or collected from outlets or the venue. Collector Tickets are not available to those without a valid Australian address. You must provide an Australian postal address to receive Collector Tickets.
