People who want their action up close and personal can purchase a grandstand seat for all nine daytime matches between March 20 and 28 for around $400. The grandstand has hosted many tennis greats over the years but don't expect to see marquis players like Federer. Those matches are generally played in the much larger stadium.
"I like to think we have something to meet everybody's budget," Henderson said.
Last year's Miami Open featured a memorable final between two all-time greats — Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Federer bested Nadal 6-3, 6-4. On the women's side, Johanna Konta defeated Caroline Wozniacki 6-4, 6-3.
In addition to the savings, Henderson said that package deals offer the best chance of seeing the most anticipated matches. For example, last year there just weren't enough tickets to go around for people who wanted to see Federer take on Nadal.
"There was just no way to get tickets for that," Henderson acknowledged.
