Set to enhance the tournament for its loyal fans, the offer will run alongside the popular free family weekend on the event's opening days, something that excites tournament director Darren Sturgess.
"We're excited to be able to provide increased opportunities for families and young fans to attend the Hobart International in 2020," he said at the event's launch.

"Along with some promising kids' attractions, there will be a lot of social events and activities available for adults to get involved in over the summer."
Boasting a high-quality standard of tennis since the inaugural event in 1994, the tournament attracted Serena Williams in 2007 and while that isn't likely to happen again, Sturgess is excited at the potential on offer.
