Seems extortionate but I'm wondering how it compares to the other Slams.

Sorry about the late reply but that's how these other threads work sometimes, GtB!

Did a bit of research and arrived at these figures for day passes for 2025 (converted to Aussie dollars)

Wimbledon $59

French Open $65

Australian Open $59

US Open $215 !!!

I was shocked at the U.S amount but thought Wimbledon would be a lot more expensive

As for the food and drinks pricing, I'd imagine the prices would all be quite expensive at all the venues

So we come out of it quite well, all things considered (especially with the huge improvements to Melbourne Park in terms of accessibility, creature comforts and freedom of movement) 

Tickets for the QF's, SF's & Finals would all be very expensive but we are seeing the best in the world at play

    WADA has decided to appeal to CAS re the ITIA's decision to clear Jannik Sinner's failed drug test (Steroids) Happening in a few months just prior to the French Open

    Most will be familiar with WADA & CAS, but the ITIA is a Tennis  organisation/committee set up by the ATP, WTA & the Grand Slam tournaments to safeguard the integrity of tennis

    Sinner could face a ban ranging from 1 month and up to 2 years if found guilty

    The Sinner original defence surrounded a cream applied to a cut which contained the anabolic steroid

    However, he did fail a drug test on 2 separate occasions with the reading being less than a billionth of a gram.  

    Effevtive immediately - 3 month ban for Jannik Sinner which allows him to play in the next Slam (French Open)

    WADA has formerly withdrawn it's appeal to CAS.  Seems a fair result, all things considered

    For the next week and a half the French Open is on every evening on 9Gem from 6.30pm

    Aussie Alexie Popyrin (25 seed) will probably lead things off tonight with his 2nd round match-up against Alejandro Tabilo

    And the Demon (de Minaur) got through his first round match last night in straight sets

    On the Women's side Aussie Ajla Tomljanovic is up against the 4 seed Jasmine Paolini

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
