2010 tickets
2010 AEGON International | 12-19 June
With
the combined tournaments of men and women at Devonshire Park for only
the second time ever, there has been an increase in prices as well as
many fans upset about obtaining
tickets.
This is in stark contrast to the tournament record takings of over £100,00 for the opening day of 2009 ticket sales.
In previous years tickets have been available on the day, when many fans have waited to hear the final line-up - or indeed check on the weather. Although a limited number of tickets may be available on the day, it is advisable to purchase passes in advance due to the incredible interest shown for Eastbourne 2010.
Tickets for the 2010 AEGON Tournament
are divided into three categories, and generally get more
expensive the
closer you are to the action. The cheapest tickets (£15 ground pass)
and
the most expensive (£40) fall on the day of the men's and ladies
singles finals.
The top four seeds should make their first
appearance at Eastbourne 2010 for the second round on Wednesday. The
tournament hots up with the quarter-finals scheduled for Thursday, the
semi-finals due to be played on Friday with the champion crowned after
the final has been determined on Saturday.
Ticket types
2010 AEGON International | 12-19 June
Tickets are divided into daily and weekly, which allow access to either the Centre Court and other courts or just the No1 Court and outside courts.
Daily passes include evening sessions as well as the day. Weekly tickets are highly sought after and include Centre Court seating from Monday to Saturday.
Ground passes allow ticket holders to watch matches on the outside courts throughout the tournament, and easily offer the best value as they include access to the No1 Court.
DAILY TICKET | As
the name indicates, these allow ticket holders to watch
matches during
the day at Devonshire Park, and include the outside courts during the
evening sessions.
WEEKLY TICKET | Premium
ticket that is a must-have for any true tennis fan. But a lack of
leisure time and money does not permit thousands to take up the
opportunity to see Eastbourne's very own mini-Wimbledon. These popular
tickets are available for the Centre Court, and offer extra value for
money over buying tickets on a daily basis.
GROUND PASS | These
allow ticket holders to watch matches on the outside courts throughout
the AEGON International, and easily offer the best value as they
include access to the No1 Court.
CENTRE COURT TICKET | More
expensive as the top stars and British players tend to be favoured to
be under the spotlight of the appreciative crowd. Ticket holders also
have the option to watch other matches on the No1 Court.
Ticket prices
Tickets
for the 2010 AEGON Tournament are divided into three categories, and
are generally more expensive the closer you are to the action.
Ground
tickets are ideal for those who prefer the more intimate experience and
excitement away from the Centre Court. And ground tickets include
entrance to the compact No1 Court, which is carpeted with the grass
that was originally on Wimbledon's Centre Court at the
prestigious
All England Club.
Weekly prices, which cover both the men's and women's tournaments, range from £165 to £195.

Centre Court guide
Devonshire
Park is a world-class arena, and plays host to Davis Cup matches,
County Cup finals as well as the traditional grass court tournament
held the week before the Wimbledon Championships.
But with four very different stands, it is worth
choosing with
care
where to find the most suitable seating at Eastbourne. And do remember
that the town is known as "the sunshine coast" for a reason, so bring
your sun lotion.
NORTH
STAND | This
is the most popular place to sit, as it is set behind the baseline.
This is the best seating on Centre Court if you want to join the
traditionally vocal crowd and soak in the sunshine. It is fairly well
known that Eastbourne is famously known as 'the sunshine
coast'.
>> In the
event of evacuation exit at gates 5 & 6.
EAST
STAND | This
has, over the years, proved to be most popular with the regular fans
who turn up each year
to watch world-class tennis at Devonshire Park. Positioned
on the side of the Centre Court, these seats attract local
sunshine
all day (so it is advisable to bring your sun lotion).
>> In the
event of evacuation exit at gates 6 & 7.
SOUTH
STAND | Offers exactly the same view as the TV cameras,
which is
useful if you are going to watch most of the tournament from the
comfort of your own home. Tickets are usually available on the day for
the South Stand, except for the semi-finals and finals, and is where
the players' entourage and coaches sit to write their notes.
>> In the
event of evacuation exit at gates 7 & 8.
WEST
STAND | This
tends to play host to what can only be described as a conservative set
of tennis fans. Expect a more
reserved ambience, but hardly any quips from the West
Stand. However, once the sun starts dropping in mid-afternoon fans
tend to be left shivering in the shade, so bring a jumper or two.
