Washington Kastles Tickets

Every seat is close to the action. The format of Team Tennis is great with the matches moving quickly.

Love the Kastles!! and love the team aspect of the event. More enjoyable, exciting, and fun for me than a regular professional tennis match.

I was very exited to watch Martina Hingis & Leander Paes. Everything was very well organized, beautiful. Big surprise for me, the session started 2 minutes before the time, it was a big plus. Vety happy.

For casual tennis fans or maybe for the parent who wants to introduce their kids to the sport, this is the venue to do it. Hardcore tennis fans will sit through hours of play but kids with the attention span of maybe an hour at most will not. But the way WTT is setup, each "match" is only about 30 minutes, 45 at most. So there's lots of turnover and you get to see all of the different combinations- from singles to mixed doubles. Also, making noise is expected, even between points. The PA was literally playing a 7 second clip of music between points. Specifically, I would say that getting to see the Washington Kastles play has to to be the best bang for the buck. The reason why I took my kids was b/c we got to see Hingis and the Bryan Brothers play. We got to see some of the best tennis players the sport has ever seen and for what? $20 bucks! Other WTT teams might have a single marquee player and some don't. I know b/c I looked at all the rosters. So if you get the chance, you have to see the 5 time defending champions play! Regarding the arena itself- well, it could have been better. There is only 1 concessions stand and it took more than 30 minutes to get through it. I missed the entire first match b/c of that. Furthermore, not all seats are made equal. We had seats on the baseline but in the N row. Little did I know that the rows go up so steep that we couldn't even see our near baseline. Fortunately, we were in the last row so we could stand when it really mattered but standing for the entire time is unacceptable. Last thing I will say is- players warm-up between EVERY match. This increases the event time. With each match going 30 minutes, that's already 2.5 hours. Add in warm-ups and the entire time goes past 3 hours, easily. So be prepared to spend the entire evening there, especially since the match order can be rearranged such that the marquee players play last.

A thrilling day. Suspense to the very end. Best possible outcome. Congrats Kastles. Great coverage on the Jumbotron. Line judging still slightly iffy but much better than Monday. Even if you do not play tennis, you would enjoy this . View and sound were ok.

I had the most unforgettable sports experience of my life when I took my 10 year old daughter to see the WTT finals. The quality of tennis was top notch. The fans were loud and cheering the Kastles all the way at the same time appreciating good tennis from the Austin team. Icing on the cake - my daughter got autographs from all players and we actually got to talk to one of my all time heroes Leander Paes who was very generous with his time with his fans. What a classy gentleman and superb player. I have become a life long fan of WTT and the Kastles. Great experience indeed. I will be back next year.

This was a lot better than what I was expecting. I had read other reviews that complained about the exesive noise and cheers in between points but in all honesty that's what made it the more enjoyable to me and my family. I've played competitive tennis for over 25 years and for the last few years I've been introducing my young daughters to the sport, and this type of event helps a lot to keep the sport fun for them. I can't wait for the Kastles next season.

Very good event, funny and exciting, I usually go every year!

Lots of fun! Love the format. We will come back next year. Thanks to Mark Ein for making it happen.

Pretty exciting as Kastles were along way behind but pulled their way back, slowly but surely and it all came down to the last singles. Sam Querry did a great job and won the night. Martina was disappointing in the mixed doubles but Leander Paes was his usual staggeringly brilliant self. Line judging and umpiring were appalling!!!!!! Perhaps they might use younger people!!!!

Took my 11 & 12 year old kids to this event and they had a GREAT time.

I spent two incredible evenings last week watching the Washington Kastles. Honestly, I didn't even know about team tennis until a few weeks ago. I have always loved tennis, but the venue, the team, the crowd, and the dancers just took it to a new level. The level of play was spectacular, but the main draw was that you really feel an instant loyalty to the team. It's a great way to get your kids excited about the sport, and it's a perfect for the whole family. I live 15 hours away, so I can't be a regular, but I am already looking forward to next year.

Overall it was a nice evening. We paid a premium price for the baseline experience seats in anticipation of seeing Serena Williams play at the event. Due to an injury she did not appear this evening. We found out the night before so we were extremely disappointed.

Rearranged my priorities for the day to see Serena, who didnt play due to injuries. Long confusing lines for food, which ran out 3 times. I dont like the pep squad and the "Lets go Kastles" chanting. At all.

I love watching the Washington Kastles do their thing! Leander Paes is SO incredibly phenomenal and is worth coming to see by himself. The new stadium is beautiful (not a bad seat in the house) and we received $10 vouchers for concessions that were really tasty. We LOVE the guy in the stilts who dances and keeps the crowd hyped up every year, and we absolutely adore these tennis celebrities for taking time out of their busy schedules to give back to the fans (especially the kids) every July. Seeing the Kastles every year has become a new tradition for us and we look forward to many fun years to come.

I BOUGHT TICKETS A LONG TIME AGO BECAUSE SERENA WILLIAMS WAS SUPPOSED TO PLAY AT THIS EVENT. EVIDENTLY, SHE BACKED OUT A DAY PRIOR AND WE HAD NO IDEA, UNTIL THE MATCH WAS ABOUT TO BEGIN. WITHOUT EXPLANATION, THEY GAVE $10 FOOD VOUCHERS OR 50% OFF MERCHANDISE. I GUESS THEY KNEW PEOPLE WOULD BE DISAPPOINTED, I SELECTED A NIKE DRY FIT SHIRT WITH A $28 PRICE TAGE AND EXPECTED TO ONLY PAY $14. AT THE REGISTER THEY TOLD ME THEIR PRICE WAS $45. THE FOOD LINE WAS RIDICULOUS. WE LEFT THIS EVENT EARLY AND FEELING VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Wow, what a disappointment. Serena Williams, the reason why I purchased the tickets in the first place, was a NO SHOW.

Although there was definitely a pall in the crowd due to the fact that Serena was not going to show, the Kastles still managed to thrill the sell-out crowd. The Smith Center is a perfect venue for the Kastles, and the team does everything possible to make it a fun night for the entire family. My young girls were invited down to the court to high-five the players as they were introduced. They got a free tennis racket and we all received $10 food vouchers due to Ms. Williams' absence. All nice touches. The tennis was generally at a very high level and the WTT format makes the evening go by quickly. On the down side, WTT aims to attract families, but staying until after 10:00 on a weeknight with little kids is exhausting. The post-match autograph session was great, but delayed our exit after play ended. And while I like the fact that the team wants to get the crowd involved, the never-ending exhortations to "MAKE SOME NOISE!!!", sometimes after every point, got incredibly tiresome. This has to be toned down so that the audience does not lose its sanity. Still, we all enjoyed it and look forward to returning next season. Maybe the marquee player will actually play next time we come. :-)

I enjoyed the event. I would have enjoyed more if Serena was there. However I understand that it was beyond the control of Mark & the Kastles family.

This concept is idiotic - an affront to those paying a significantly higher seat price - and as annoying as h--- for those that don't need loud, boisterous kids charging up and down the stands. - especially for a match that was coming down to the wire. I understand the WTT atmosphere, but there still has to be limits
