The European Open is one of the best-kept secrets on the European indoor swing. A genuine top-20 field, an arena small enough that you can hear the strings, and a hospitality programme priced as though nobody has told Brussels what Bercy charges for the same thing. The Baseline Club is where the VIP experience comes together, and it runs all three days of the business end of the tournament.

The format is a walking dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings, shifting to a walking lunch on finals Sunday. It suits the rhythm of indoor tennis perfectly. You are not locked to a table for three hours waiting for the main course while a tiebreak plays out on court. You move. Glass of champagne on arrival. A plate of something in one hand, a conversation in the other, and when you hear the crowd react to a point, your Prestige Seat is right there. The food is plated for grazing, the bar is open throughout, and live entertainment in the VIP area keeps the energy high between sessions.

Prestige Seats sit in the prime viewing area of Centre Court inside Palais 5. At an indoor ATP 250, this is a fundamentally different experience from the vast outdoor bowl of a Grand Slam or a Masters 1000. The court feels close. The geometry of rallies unfolds at a scale where you can read the spin, hear the grunt, and watch the tactical adjustments in real time. Recent editions have drawn De Minaur, Tsitsipas, Auger-Aliassime, and Lehecka. The tennis is serious.

For those who want to be even closer, a Courtside VIP Box upgrade brings you level with the players, directly alongside the court. This is available as a per-person upgrade in a shared box (€50pp on Friday, €75pp on Saturday and Sunday) or as a full private box for 20 guests (€1,000 on Friday, €1,500 on Saturday and Sunday). At this distance, in an indoor arena, you are inside the match.

One parking pass is included for every two guests, which simplifies the logistics for corporate groups arriving at Brussels Expo.

For larger parties, The Baseline Club also offers private branded lounges for groups of 20 to 200 guests. Same inclusions, same open bar, same Prestige Seats, but in a dedicated space with your own branding. Private lounge rates start at €7,000 for a 20-person lounge on quarterfinal Friday and €7,700 for semifinals and finals.

Late October in Brussels. No sunburn. No rain delays. No guessing what to wear. Just an arena, a bar, and some of the best tennis you will see this side of Paris. All prices exclude VAT.
