P a g e 14 GROUPS Contact us for a group quote. Groups including flights are for 10 or more travelling together. SEAT PLANS A new seat-plan for seat categories will be available by April. The previous seat category areas will be changed so do not refer to the older seat plans. A new seat plan is underway at the time of release of this brochure (mid-march 2018). SHADE vs. SUN: Please use sunscreen wisely for your protection! It can be very hot in Melbourne in January. Around 32c (approx.) the roof of Rod Laver Arena will be closed. Upper Level seats offer the best shade and most Category 2 seats and nearly all Category 1 seats will experience some sun during the day. Do not expect to be able to get Cat 1 seats with guaranteed shade during the day or early evening. If you have a shade preference, please advise us when booking and we will do all we can to assist. Once we receive our allocated seats we can explain any options, keeping in mind we only have a certain number of seats in designated areas. YOUR SEAT ALLOCATION & Lost Tickets don t panic you are in good hands! As an Official Tour Operator, we physically receive all our allocations from Australian Open late in 2018. Prior to this we allocate the seats to our guests based on the date they deposited across all categories. The earlier you book the better your seats will be in each category. All seats are guaranteed with all seat numbers recorded against your name in case of loss of tickets. If you lose your tickets for any session they can be replaced with an ET fee for this service at $15 per lost ticket. Your match tickets will either be sent to you if you live in Australia if time permits or they can be made available at your hotel for check in. For our valued international guests, they will be delivered to your hotel. Seats and Row number will be advised.
