The show itself was fantastic, but the arena for this performance was not very good. Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina cruised into the third round with a 6-2 6-1 win over Kaja Juvan in under an hour on John Cain Arena, smashing 23 winners past her 22-year-old opponent. The seats were really, really uncomfortable, everyone having to move around in their seats all night to relieve the soreness created by the hard seats. Also the seats moved every time someone went up the steps, very annoying. We had to turn our heads the entire night to see the performance which became uncomfortable, although we did have a great view of the stage, but we had people walking up & down the aisle the entire performance going for food/drinks/toilet & walking in our view. While we did not have any seats in front of us and lots of leg room we would not want those seats again. Green: Margaret Court, Blue: Rod Laver, Purple: John Cain. We were in the first row of elevated seats, row F, right on the aisle. For the show we saw the seats were chairs in the centre of the arena facing the stage which would have been good, being able to see the stage straight in front of you & then around the arena was the majority of the seating. The Arena itself has plenty of places to buy food & drinks but it's all really expensive. We parked in the underground car park just next to the arena, which was very convenient. Access all general public areas across the precinct Grand Slam Oval, AO Ballpark and more. We attended the Steve Martin and Martin Short show which cost quite a bit per ticket. (unreserved seating area) Access to Kia Arena, 1573 Arena and other outdoor courts.
