Tickets And Packages On Sale
The countdown for the 69th BNL Internazionali BNL d'Italia 2012 has finally started: from today, 4 July, the pre-sale for both tickets and packages has begun.
As per last year, the Tournament will be a combined event, with men and women playing over nine days. On the very same day therefore, as regularly happens in the four Grand Slam tournaments, fans will be able to see Nadal, Federer and Djokovic in action alongside the best that the women's circuit has to offer as well as the Italian heroines Francesca Schiavone, Flavia Pennetta and Roberta Vinci.
The Foro Italico combined event will run from Saturday 12 - Sunday 20 May, meaning that it should be played in favourable weather conditions, making each day's tennis even more of an event. The tournament has gone from strength to strength in recent years to become one of the most prestigious and well-loved events on the calendar - a veritable "fifth Grand Slam", in fact.
As well as the new Centre Court, which was opened during the 2010 tournament and unanimously considered amongst players and tennis experts as the tennis stadium with the best visibility in the world in every seating area, 2012 will also the inauguration of the new SuperTennis Arena - last year called Court 10. It will be a second ticketed show court with far more comfort and facilities than last year's Court 10. The Nicola Pietrangeli Stadium meanwhile will be open to all grounds pass holders, with the result that the Foro Italico will now have 11 courts in total: three for the practice sessions and eight for singles and doubles action.
The Centre Court will also host a very attractive night session, while the SuperTennis Arena will have a long-session programme featuring top-class matches.
To enable tennis fans to choose the best seats for themselves or for their tennis-loving friends, the Italian Tennis Federation has decided to bring forward the sale of tickets for all seats.
From 4 July therefore, all Centre Court and SuperTennis Arena packages, individual tickets for Centre Court night sessions and all sessions for SuperTennis Arena will be on sale. Individual tickets for the Centre Court day sessions will go on sale from 19 September 2011.
Both Centre Court tickets and passes will give access to all outside courts (including the Nicola Pietrangeli Stadium but excluding the SuperTennis Arena), while SuperTennis Arena tickets and passes will give access to all secondary courts (including the Nicola Pietrangeli Stadium but excluding Centre Court).
Last year's pass holders have priority booking on repurchasing their passes up until 28 October.
