Brisbane International 2011

Depends if you want to see matches on centre court. AFAIK a ground pass gets you everywhere but centre court - which will still provide you with some really good matches.
Am not sure if I will make it this year as I am having time off just before Christmas and the christmas school holidays being our busiest time at work probably won't be able to swing hols in January as well. Will wait to see my roster for that week and just buy a ground pass for one day I think.

I got a $10 the first time they held the tournament, although you do see some good matches. On the 2nd and third courts the seats are in the sun and the remaining courts are either blocked view of you have to stand court side. If it is a hot day it can be very taxing!
If I went again I would get centre court tickets.

I got centre court tickets for the men's semi finals day. Two high quality matches plus I'm pretty sure the men's doubles semis are on then as well.
The ground passes are great value, as long as you go in the first three, maybe four, days. After that, there's hardly any games on the outside courts. Went on the second day this year and saw some enthralling matches, no huge names by any means but all players inside the top 100 or so - the standard is still very, very high.
And if you're a real tennis nut, it's free to watch qualifying in the few days before the tournament starts.

And towards the end of the week, the Wheelchair tournament is held - it's mainly on the outside courts.
And to gloat because I can - I was VERY instrumental in getting the WC tournament played at the same time and venue as the able-bodied one, so go me :mrgreen:
