Didn't make the pilgrimage to Melbourne this year. With fewer matches in each stadium session and prices going north there's just not good value anymore. Then you have to add flights, accommodation etc and you're looking at $300-$400 per day, depending on how organised you are.
I'm not sure what its like at the other slams, but a grounds pass, even at $50 per day, doesn't seem worth it to me. You'd be spending half your day in lines.
Plenty of rain around today, suspending play on the outside courts. The extra day will help the scheduling.
