Ticket information
2012 AEGON International
jun 17th - 23rd
Ticket types
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 2011 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 includes
entrance to the compact No1 Court, carpeted with the grass
that was originally on Wimbledon's Centre Court at the
prestigious
All England Club. Weekly prices, which covers both the men's
and
women's tournaments, will be held at 2010 prices (£165 for a Category 3
ticket through to £195 for a Category 1 ticket) until midnight on 3
January 2011, after which they will increase to £190 for a Category 2
ticket and £200 for a Category 1 ticket.

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'.

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).

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.

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.
