THE CLOSEST MAJOR MEN’S
tennis tournament to Ho Chi Minh City is
also the most prestigious ATP event in the
Asia-Pacific region. The 2019 Rolex Shanghai
Masters will have it all, and will once again be
held at the Qizhong Tennis Center, October
5th to 13th.
The multi award-winning tournament,
and one of only nine ATP Masters 1000’s
in the world, is always looking to
provide tennis savvy guests a greater
experience. This year, in order to
better meet the diverse needs of
fans, the tournament is introducing a new
scheduling program which will see day and
night session tickets on sale for the very first
time.
The Rolex Shanghai Masters is the only
official ATP Tour tournament in Asia that is
scheduled to host each of the Big 3 - Novak
Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal as
well as every other player in the top 20.
Besides Chinese tennis fans, the Rolex
Shanghai Masters has been seeing a year-
on-year increase in foreign visitors coming
to Qizhong Tennis Center. This new
ticket scheduling will also give them an
opportunity to explore one of the world’s
great cities.
Every year advance ticket sales have been
increasing at a tremendous rate and as a
result tennis fans are advised to get in early as
sessions fill up fast, in particular the last three
days which are sold out weeks in advance.
Tickets for the center court from Monday
to Friday (October 7th to October 11th) will
have the day and night sessions allowing
spectators a greater choice according to their
personal time. The opportunity to buy all-
day tickets, as before, also remains.
The new day and night session prices will
be “wallet-friendly” with the National Day
celebrations coinciding with the early stages
of the tournament. For example, on Oct 7th,
the daytime ticket for center court will cost
only 160 yuan (approx. USD23), almost one
third of the original all-day ticket price.
And if the whole family wants to watch
the match, family tickets will have more
preferential choice. There are tickets for
two adults with one child and one adult
with a child. A daytime ticket for a child will
be a minimum 50 yuan (approx. USD7).
That is undoubtedly the best choice for the
whole family.
In addition to ticketing on the center
court, there will also be ticketed seats on
Court 3 which will be 90 yuan (approx.
USD13) per day. To purchase tickets and get more detailed
