Ticket information
2012 ticket types
2012 AEGON International | 17-23 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 2012 AEGON International
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 increase from the 2010 and 2011 prices (£165 for a Category 3 ticket through to £195 for a Category 1 ticket) to £200 for the 2012 event.

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.
