Tickets for Aussie tennis

Q: I will be visiting relatives in Sydney in January next year and would dearly like to go to the Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne. I'd like to know what flights there are between Sydney and Melbourne and how soon I should make the reservations. I'd also like to know how to buy tickets for the Open since I don't need the air/hotel/ticket packages sold online, just tickets. - Martin Gay
A; You should have no problem getting from Sydney to Melbourne, as there are plenty of flights every day between the two cities. For example, on January 19, the first day of the Open, Qantas has 35 flights to Melbourne. If you book online as early as you can(www.qantas.com.au) you should be able to get a seat for under US$120. Tickets for the tournament go on sale in September or October and can be purchased online through the Open's Internet booking partner (www.ticketek.com.au or phone: 61-2-8736-2711). For more information, from schedules to seating charts, visit the official Australian Open's Website, www.australianopen.com.
