BNP Paribas Showdown Tennis Tickets

I like that they had the children participate in the event. The players were vibrant and entertaining.

Over the past 5 years at the BNP Paribas Showdown at Madison Square Garden I had enjoyed photographing the tennis stars with MY PROFESSIONAL DSLR CAMERA. I EVEN RENTED MY LENS SO THAT I COULD GET GOOD SHOTS. I was EXCITED when I arrived at the 2017 BNP Paribas Showdown, to see Australian Open Finalist Venus Williams, and to get some great photographs WITH MY PROFESSIONAL DSLR. HOWEVER, when I checked in, I was asked to take my camera to security and TOLD THAT PROFESSIONAL PICTURE TAKING WAS NOT LONGER ALLOW AT THE BNP PARIBAS SHOWDOWN. As a semi-professional photographer and fan, I was very disappointed. I don't understand why there is no DSLR photography allowed. This will lessen the professional sports experience.

The event started at 7pm promptly, but we weren't able to get in until 10 minutes after. We missed the introductions. The only food that was offered near our seats was hamburgers, chicken fingers and fries and popcorn. I would think there would be something healthier or more of a selection. As for the tennis showdown, it was boring as hell. There was nothing fun about it and it just dragged on. Me and my friend, who paid $25.50 for a drink (double shot), left after 2 hours. We couldn't bear it any more. I haven't been to this event in a few years, but I do remember it being a lot better in the past. The players wore mikes and had a little back and forth action. We will not be back.

We had a good time because my wife and i really enjoy tennis.It really wasn't competitive but pretty friendly.Enjoyed the evening quite a bit.

Could not have asked for a better lineup of current and retired tennis players. However, the event was too ambitious for a week day night. In order to see the best tennis would have had to stay until at least 10.30pm.Unfortunately, had to take a 10.00pm train back to LI. The least interesting matches were front loaded and disappointed to have had to watch time killer mediocre match between Lleyton and Andy. To make the event better would have had Lleyton and Andy featured last. Felt ripped off by abbreviated evening to which I had been looking forward. Don't think I'll go again.

I love tennis and this is the a good opportunity to see closer the player and the personality but this year everybody was to serious this even is to have fun and be silly Anyway o love it!!!

I love pro tennis. I found out at this year's BNP Paribas that I do not like World Team Tennis. I've been to this event in the past and it was not the WTT format, this was the first year they've tried this out. It felt less about seeing your favorite players and more about some kind of weird national pride thing. I found it a little distracting. Regardless, if I can get reasonably priced tickets and some of the players I want to see will be there, I find it worth it to go and see their game play in person.

I enjoyed the whole evening! The matches were interesting.

Being able to see the best of the best play amongst and against each other is truly wonderful. The atmosphere is very diverse and the players live up to every moment!

Enjoyed it as always,but... they say starting @7 prompt. That's the "fluff" before first players took court @7:20. Maybe they can start @6pm and tennis @ 6:15 pm?? Have to take 1hour train back home so I always have to leave before the matches are done as I just can't get home at 2 am the next day.(I also have a drive from the train station).The main player I came to see this year was Juan Martin del Potro & I had to leave during the match before his and never got to see him play the singles match. Don't mind paying for tickets, just wish there was more tennis,less "fluff" and it started and ended earlier so for once I could see all of this event.
