Volunteers

Dear Prospective Sony Ericsson Open Volunteer,

Thank you for your interest in volunteering your services at the 2012 Sony Ericsson Open. We are excited you are considering joining our team and we look forward to your help in making this event the best on the ATP and WTA tours.

The popularity of tennis is now at an all-time high and the Sony Ericsson Open is your chance to see all of the best players in the world competing in Miami for one of the most glamorous and prestigious titles in tennis. The Sony Ericsson Open offers its guests everything that Miami has to offer including an unbeatable atmosphere, high fashion, fine food, fabulous shopping, celebrity musical performances, and of course the best tennis in the world.

Now entering its 28th year, the Sony Ericsson Open has developed into the most glamorous event on tour, and the place to be seen in Miami. Last year over 316,000 guests visited the Tennis Center at Crandon Park including the biggest names in music, entertainment and sports.

Without the continued support of its more than 900 volunteers the Sony Ericsson Open would not be the success that it is today. Please review the commitment requirements and our volunteer benefits package information below. We think you will find the benefits package one of the most comprehensive in the industry.
