Where can I find information about parking for spectators?
Hi, Molly! I reached out to our Tournament Operations Team and they said there is no on-site parking at this venue; there are several public parking lots that are within reasonable walking distance to the venue (~5 minutes). These lots will be e-mailed to players and ticket holders on the “Welcome E-mail” that is sent the week leading up to the event. Players and ticket holders are encouraged to use public transit and ride share options to get to the venue.
What is the parking situation for the Seattle Open? I am struggling to find any information on the site or FAQ’s
Hi, Melissa! I reached out to our Tournament Operations Team and they said there is no on-site parking at this venue; there are several public parking lots that are within reasonable walking distance to the venue (~5 minutes). These lots will be e-mailed to players and ticket holders on the “Welcome E-mail” that is sent the week leading up to the event.

Maxwell, thank you for the information. I still have not received a welcome email and I have tickets for tomorrow. Any idea what the email address will be coming from?
Hi, Melissa! I’ve reached out to our e-mail marketer, Hudson Anthony, and he said that the welcome e-mail has been sent out. Did you check your spam folder? Let me know if it’s not in there and I’ll see if he can re-send the welcome e-mail just to you.
Will the spectators in the stands of championship court be directly in the sun, or will any of the court be covered for shade?
Hi, Sonja! Spectators who have purchased courtside tickets will be directly in the sun, but VIP ticket holders will have shaded seats. 😁
Hi-I am a player and have received two emails but no info about parking, only my start time and a link to a video orientation. Please help with parking, thanks!
Hi, GR! I’ve reached out to our Tournament Operations Team and they said that there will be no on-site parking available for this tournament. They said there are several public parking lots that are within a reasonable walking distance from the venue (~5 minutes). Players and spectators are encouraged to use public transit and ride share options to get to the venue. 😁
Where can I find the schedule so I know which players will be playing on which courts at specific times?
Hi, Stacie! We are unable to provide a schedule because courts are assigned to matches based on court availability. However, as soon as the tournament is live, we will have live brackets at https://www.ppatour.com/tournament/seattle-open/ that will show which court each match is being played on in real-time. Below the bracket, you will be able to see a site map with all of the court numbers so that you can easily find each court on-site. Let me know if you have any additional questions or if there is anything else I can do to help. 😁
We are registered players. At the time of registration there was nothing to indicate a grounds pass would be included in the registration packet. We purchased ground passes and now would like to apply for a refund or apply the price to court side tikets.
Hi, Arnold! Can you please e-mail [email protected]? Our Ticketing Team will make sure that you get taken care of. 😁
Hey we have courtside seats on Saturday in Seattle.
Can we bring our stadium seats?
Hi, Matt! Yes, you can bring your stadium seats to use on the bleachers. 😁
I didn’t receive the welcome email, can I please get it resent.
thank you!
Hi, Hazel! I’ve reached out to our team and asked them to forward/re-send the e-mail to you. 😁
Hey Maxwell. I also didn’t receive the email as I purchased my tickets this morning.
Hey, Michael! Our team said that the e-mail has been resent to you. 👍🏼
Hi Maxwell,
I also believe I didn’t receive the welcome email and I have tickets for Sunday. Could you please re-send? Thank you!
Hi, Theresa! I’ve reached out to our team and asked them to forward/re-send the e-mail to you. 😁
We have 3 courtside tickets for the week. We have not received the ‘welcome letter email that you mentioned. It’d be great to understand logistics better and receive parking info.
Thank you! Nancy
Hi, Nancy! Our team said that the welcome e-mail has been resent to you. 👍🏼
At the Seattle event is there a shuttle parking lot and where would that be?
Hi, Jim! There is not a shuttle parking lot at the Seattle event so players and spectators will need to park in public parking near the venue and either walk, take public transit, or ride share to the venue. 😁 I’ve been told by our Tournament Operations Team that their are several public parking facilities within a 5-minute walk from the venue.
Please resend Welcome Email to me also. Thank you!
Hi, JB! The welcome e-mail has been resent to you. 😁
My tickets have a different venue location. It seems we should have been notified of the change in venue. I have not received the Welcome email.
Hi, KL! Our team said that the welcome e-mail has been resent to you. 👍🏼
Hi Maxwell,
We are arriving at 8:00am on Sunday and have VIP tickets. Will there be breakfast available at a vendor booth on site or at a food truck in the morning? Or will the VIP tent have something available at that time?
Hi, Theresa! Our VIP Coordinator said that coffee and pastries will be served at 9:00am PT. 😁
I have tickets for Sunday, but didn’t receive the welcome email – please re-send it.
Hi, Kevin! I’ll reach out to our e-mail marketer and have him re-send it to you. 😁
I am seeking information on parking, transportation, etc. I never received a welcome packet or any information regarding logistics, parking, or any other information since I purchased by tickets a couple of months ago (including the tournament location change!).
Please send me information to [email protected].
Thank you.
Doug Sayed (ticket holder)
Hi, Doug! I’ve asked our e-mail marketer to send the welcome e-mail to you. 😁
My wife, Shari Thompson, purchased tickets for the 28th. Her email is [email protected]. Could you send her the welcome email? Also, if you could cc me at [email protected], that would be great. Thanks! Kerry Thompson
Hi, Kerry! I’ve asked our e-mail marketer to send the welcome e-mail to you and Shari. 😁
can you bring your personal water bottle into the venue?
Hi, Brian! Yes, you can bring a personal water bottle to the venue. You just can’t bring outside food or beverages since it will be sold on-site. 😁
Is there parking available?
Hi, Eric! Our Tournament Operations Team said that there is no on-site parking at this venue. There are several public parking lots that are within a reasonable walking distance from the venue (~5 minutes). Players and spectators are encouraged to use public transit and ride share options to get to the venue. 😁
Why is it hard to find the brackets and the day’s results?
Hi, Michelle! The scores and brackets are available at https://www.ppatour.com/tournament/seattle-open/. Can you not see them?
What is the parking situation near the venue? Any suggestions?
Hi, Aitch! Our Tournament Operations Team said that there is no on-site parking at this venue. There are several public parking lots that are within a reasonable walking distance from the venue (~5 minutes). Players and spectators are encouraged to use public transit and ride share options to get to the venue. 😁
Can you please resend me the welcome email so I can get the parking information for tomorrow? Thank you
Hi, Tim! Our e-mail marketer has sent you the welcome e-mail. 😁
I purchased 3 courtside tickets for Friday, 7/28 and have not received a welcome e-mail. Please send.
Hi, Susan! Our e-mail marketer has resent the welcome e-mail to you. 😁
HELLO can we buy tickets at the venue?
Hi, Janet! You can buy tickets at the venue, but I would recommend buying them ahead of time to ensure that you can secure a ticket before they are sold out. 😁
I bought the mid range Courtside entry. I just saw a comparison chart that says we don’t get chairs. Does that mean only vip tickets get to sit to watch a match? Is there a standing area? Should we carry in folding chair?
Hi, Jennifer! Courtside seating is on bleachers so you will have a place to sit, you just won’t be sitting in chairs that have back support. If you have a bleacher seat with a back on it, you can bring that and use that on the bleachers. 😁 We hope you have fun at the event! 🙌🏼
What day and time is the Pro Mens Championship on Sunday (or Saturday)?
Hi, Aitch! All of the pro championships for the Seattle Open will be played on Sunday. 😁
These beautiful Pickelball courts will jo longer exist after the PPA tournament!!!
Seattle Superintendent Diaz is removing all Pickelball lines and nets and giving the newly resurfaced courts to TENNIS. What a shame Seattle!!!! We don’t have dedicated courts in Seattle (3 courts in bad shape and badly designed count?)
Any way to see court assignments like pickleball tournaments.com used to have waitlist etc
Thanks
Hi, Dave! Yes, you can see the court assignments above each match on the live brackets. 😁
Is it right that a ref is on the court watching a match, rooting for one team, but also watching TV and when asked if he could turn on the lights his response was “you can”. Seems like a player/spectator shouldnt be responsible for turning on the lights. His name is Mark.
Wondering who we could contact about a product we bought (HiDow) from one of your vendors at the PPA tournament in Seattle?
Not sure if it is legitimate
Hi, Laurel! I’m reviewing the site map for the Seattle Open and it doesn’t look like HiDow was one of our vendors. Can you provide more information about what you bought and what the problem seems to be?
