$20 / ticket. it was $155 before
Sydney Olympic Park, Sun, 5 Jan 2025, 5:30 pm @ Ken Rosewall Arena
It is the cheapest price ever to watch World Star
See Schedule
https://www.unitedcup.com/en/tournament/schedule
Which players are playing?
Fritz vs Hurkacz and Gauff vs Swiatek which is some of the best games you can watch
Krzysztof Kiełbasinski vs Cletus Bradley Freedomson.
Joanna Ogórkowa vs Savannah Rodeoway.
Is this a random name generator?
There's nothing random about it
So Chad Baldeagle didn't qualify? Such a shame
Should've put Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz instead.
good price for finals, i watched Poland vs Norway when they gave out free tickets and the game was awesome
Crowds have been well down
like every other year
i dont know how they can afford the participation fees for these tennis players….. the event is surely run at a loss unless the sponsors are paying an arm and a leg each
Your tax dollars hard at work. Primary sponsors are the NSW and WA government.
sadly yes
The problem is that they charge $155, which is obvious a lot more than people are willing to pay, then do these insane discounts in the finals.
A couple of years ago I paid full price for a game in the Brisbane International, only to have them being given away FOR FREE some days later.
I refuse to pay this price since, but I'd happily pay $80 or so. And that's coming from someone who's paying a 💩load more to watch the Aus Open finals (+flight +hotel).
How much does it cost for your Aus Open finals (+flight +hotel)?
$💩,💩💩💩
Do you really wanna know, or just trolling?
Of course it costs more, but I was saying they killed the perception of value for the tournament by giving away free tickets, screwing those who had already purchased it.
@l o l: I'm genuinely interested as a tennis fan who's not in Victoria.
Also yes, I agree with the UC's heavily discounted/free tickets impacting perception.
@Fobsessive: I paid about $1300 for mens (Sunday) + womens (Saturday) grand finals (cheapest seats) + 3 nights of a decent hotel in a great location, sharing with a mate, so $1300 each for both matches + hotel.
As for the flight, that will depend on your location, etc. I used the Amex travel credit thingy, so it was basically free.
I just put aside $100/month so that I can do this every couple of years and have some money to spend while there :)
Edit: just checked the hotel name is Hyatt Centric. Tickets are in the "High Upper Sideline" section, $375 womens final, $405 mens final. We bought through AO Travel, great service.
U spoke it into reality lols
I didn’t get this feeling, I’ve been four times this tournament and crowds have been pretty decent. I also felt that there were fewer free ticket deals compared to last year.
The event just needs to get more traction and prestige. And more appreciation; It’s really a great opportunity to see world class tennis around the corner (if you don’t live in Melbourne and live in a participating city), especially compared to the regular ATP/WTA tournament that preceded it which especially in the men’s tournament didn’t have any appealing names. Saw Swiatek-Rybakina yesterday and that match-up is worthy of a Grand Slam semi final if not final.
Yeah, the players aren't the usual draw cards. I suspect tennis viewership will be in a bit of a rut unless Sinner and Alcaraz become superstars.
Waiting for Promotix bargain! Maybe not this year eh.
They had some great united cup tickets in perth was great seats to
WORLDSTAR
Stadium full of Ozbargainers! Sounds awesome
It's a trap
Be aware that the $20 seats are listed as having a restricted view.
To the 3 people who downvoted my reply, would love to know why you did, when what I posted is correct.
they say restricted view but those seats are actually not restricted as I have been there before
Thanks for clarifying, much more helpful than those who just downvote without any explanation.
That's an absolutely idiotic move by Ticketmaster to advertise them as restricted view
Idk why Ticketmaster is lying about the seats, they are not restricted as I sat there earlier in the week and the view is anything but. Might be just lying to get people to buy other more expensive but discounted seats. I saw a similar thing with the NRL at accor too with Ticketek, restricted view during finals but not during regular games
@Jollystacker: I was looking at tickets yesterday and these restricted view seats weren't for sale. I think these seats have the barriers at eye level so unless you're tall you'll have to lean over or raise your head up to see.
@hobo123: not so sure, there are so many rows that are restricted view and the barriers couldnt possibly obscure a view. its usally applicable to the first couple rows but there are so many rows all over that are restricted apparently.
What's funny?
You don't think it would be funny if Sydney had F1?
Nope, it would be wonderful that any city in our arse end of the world gets to host any world premier level sporting event.
Plus this United cup isn't completely elite level.
I would def go if I was in Sydney
I would def go if they did the same price for the Brisbane International :)
I went to Sydney from Melbourne on those free tickets for the United Cup, and loved it.
I am tired of the massive crowds from the Australian Open here.
I go to Aus Open every 2-3 years, and I still like it. Probably because I don't live there :)
$20 is a bargain for those games!
$155 is far too much. I would lump the Australian Open into this as well. Saturday night Rod Laver tickets are $259 to $419. $419! Once I include a hotel and airfare to fly in to see the match it could be closing in on $1000. To see two tennis matches. My inner Ozbargainer is revolting.
Nope, TV is nice and comfy and gives the best view in the house.
Especially with Stan Sport giving 4K quality, 50fps, and absolutely zero ads.
However you still hear the ads playing in the stadium after every change of ends.
Thanks OP. Bought 2. Best bargan for 2025!
No it’s not.
Do you even know what a bargan is?
Pols lost last year to the Panzers, so today there may be a reckoning against the Yanks.
Not a deal when free tickets are available. https://www.ticketmaster.com.au/event/25006108F13B128E?did=j…
It was this morning when the deal was posted. Just report it as expired.
No more free tickets :(
