“There’s no plan B”: Businesses give corporate boxes a miss at this year’s Australian Open

In any other year, businesses would have booked their corporate tickets for the Australian Open months ago, found some clients to spoil, and planned the event down to the minute.

But with the global pandemic still teetering along, and with it the potential of outbreaks and snap restrictions, some businesses have ditched a day out at this year’s Australian grand slam.

A spokesperson from MYOB says while their workplace has hosted Australian Open events it the past, interstate travel restrictions meant that it wasn’t practical this year.

“As many of our stakeholders are interstate and various travel restrictions are still in place, we don’t have plans for anything like this in the near future,” the spokesperson says.
