Hi all. Just saw that Night session tickets on Monday 20th Jan are heavily discounted. $65 only.
Unclear why. Day session tickets are still $149 for the same seats.
Edited to add:
Apologies, you need a $19 ground pass tickets also as this is an arena upgrade ticket.
Total price $84 per adult.
Bogan central.
upgrade does not grant entry to Australian Open precinct. Must be purchased in addition to valid ground pass ticket to provide arena access
Looking at the schedule, looks like Monday is a rest day between the end of the fourth round and the quarter finals (for mens and womens singles)? That's probably why…
Edit: Although, Australia Open website still lists Men's fourth round and Women's fourth round as still happening on that day (despite no entries on the Google schedule). So who knows…
Yeah google doesn't have anything but AO schedule says continuing 4th rounds for men's and women's.
Kyrgios and Little Red Boy quitting after playing exactly 1 hour to make sure they get their appearance fee, didn't help…
There are no matches on Monday!!! Beware
Most people wouldn't notice the difference.
If it is too good to be true …it is ..
Not a deal.

It's because the link you've included in this deal filters specifically on Arena Upgrade tickets, which are tickets you need to purchase in addition to ground pass tickets.
When you click the little ⓘ next to where it says 'Arena Upgrade', it says:
*upgrade does not grant entry to Australian Open precinct. Must be purchased in addition to valid ground pass ticket to provide arena access.
Here's the link for the same night session (20th Jan, Rod Laver) without 'Arena Upgrade' tickets filtered:

ground pass for Monday 20th Night is $19- so effectively $84 ticket. Still a good deal.
Fair enough, but people should be aware of this before buying, otherwise people are going to rock up and realise they can't access the arena. Should be reflected in the deal title and description.
Damn, can't believe the prices of AO now… remember when prices were $25 for ground pass?
Also works for the day pass on Tuesday to the quarter finals - https://www.ticketmaster.com.au/event/2500612C8D5112C6?did=u…
There are some excellent seats still available for that too, at $189 + $35 for the day pass for tickets that otherwise cost $449.
I went through all the tickets and replaced "brand=ausopen" with "did=upgrade", if it shows a dollar amount it will let you buy, if it's $0 it won't. There's a couple of days in there, couldn't score cheap finals tickets though sadly!
That's an amazing hack! Didn't seem to work for Tuesday night which I'm kinda relieved about since I'm paying stupid amounts to go. Great way to get cheap seats for the day games though!
Nahh! The GOAT and other high seededs are playing, and the TV channels air so-called our unseeded boys and girls' matches.
The GOAT retired last year.
Has anyone tried entering the open with just these upgrade tickets? I know it says you need a ground pass but I bought tickets and they have a barcode..
I'm assuming it won't scan at the gate but could always risk it and hope ground pass still available to buy on the day if stuck
yeah wondering too
But who is playing on Monday?
The schedule isn't released until 6pm the previous day.
Thanks OP!
