    • a restricted area of the Venue if you are not required in that area to perform your duties.
  3. If you fail to observe these conditions and the Australian Open Ticket Conditions of Sale and Entry (located at all venue entry points and posted on tennis.com.au/doc/ao-ticket-conditions-of-sale-and-entry), you may be refused entry or directed to leave the Event, and have your pass withdrawn.
