While I have been on a day of 35 degree heat before..
I just buy my tickets the night before. Therefore you can go on a notsohot day

It's hard to get RL tickets unless you book early. Usually I can get MCA tickets a week before AO begins, otherwise it's Ground Passes.

I usually went on Tuesday/Friday of the first week. Last time was in 2000 before I left Melbourne. Have to have RL ticket for the air conditioning if I go next year.

This documentary on NITV about Tupac and Biggie has got to be the white-est documentary on the subject ever
Since this is the thread of randomness...

See I hate that. I refuse to buy tickets to RL without knowing who I'm seeing.
I know it's stupid because they are sold so far in advance, so I'll just have to do it if I want them...
Yeah an after 5pm ground pass might be the go this year. Just take in the vibe, some drinks and hopefully get on Voda.

Or Hisense. Whatever it's called these days.

Same here, that's why I never buy RL in advance, I would like to know who is playing.
Hisense is another option.

Getting on it might be hard tho.
Day ground pass I'm there at like 10am and get a great spot right on the baseline.
We stayed until past 9pm/the night match

That was 2 years ago.
In like 1996 I went RL night match. Saw Courier v Muster, pretty damn good, went for 4 set IIRC and had a blackout in the middle of it.

I haven't been to hisense arena in years, like you said it's hard to get a seat. The last two years I've just gone to MCA and the outside courts.

But MCA you have a res seat, yes?
So can come and go as you please. Hisense, you can only go away for a max 30 mins at a time

Yes, it's reserved seating. You need a different ticket for MCA and usually there are available tickets during the week. It's actually a nice arena
RL is so outdated lol
I do not bother with hisense because you need to get their early, or wait in line for awhile to get a seat

So I guess I might have to change my plans. I got a RL ticket the night before the last time I went on the first Tuesday in 2000. It wasn't very expensive, maybe $25 or $35 or so. I sat next to a Canadian couple who flew out just for the Open. I do remember they paid a shitload more than me for their tickets. I watched the 2001 Open in Fort Lauderdale Florida. I had escaped the Chicago winter for three weeks there then went on a short cruise to the Bahamas.
Just thinking back to the 90s - I used to follow Lindsay Davenport and Todd Martin. Lindsay was an Amazon woman, but so nice. Todd was born about ten miles from my home. I remember making sure I saw Anna Kournikova one year. Who cared that she wasn't really very good. I also saw the Williams sisters. Michael Chan played in a day match in RL stadium that lasted to nearly the start of the evening matches one year.
I don't think many Melburnians appreciate having such a major sporting event in their own backyard. I also managed to go to the Australian Open golf at Kingston Heath prior to me leaving in 2000.

I just checked and this episode of Air Crash Investigations on 72 now is 12 years old. I was just a mere child back then.

I remember my workmate said he'd text me if he had a spare (free) RL ticket. Am talking the rounds and maybe a quarter.
He never texted
