Tickets are now on sale for squash’s 2017 PSA Dubai World Series Finals, the first-ever sporting event staged at the Dubai Opera, a 2000-seat multi-format venue which forms the centerpiece of The Opera District in Downtown Dubai.

Taking place from 6-10 June, sports fans will be able to purchase tickets for the season-ending event directly from www.dubaiopera.com or from the Dubai Opera Box Office from Wednesday, January 11.

Commenting on the announcement, Jasper Hope, Chief Executive of Dubai Opera said: “Squash is one of the most exciting and enjoyable participant and spectator sports in the world and the intimate atmosphere of Dubai Opera is the perfect location for a live audience to be able to enjoy the World Series Finals.

“Dubai Opera’s stage has already played host to some of the greatest artists and productions from around the world and for our first ever sporting event we are very excited to be able to welcome the world’s squash elite for the culmination of their season.”

The PSA Dubai World Series Finals tournament is the pinnacle of the international squash season and sees the world’s top eight male and female ranked players on the ‘PSA Road To Dubai’s standings compete to determine who will lift the final title of the 2016/17 season.

Points are accumulated at every PSA World Series tournament which take place in nine locations around the world before reaching the Finals in Dubai.

The event seeks to build on the excitement generated by the inaugural PSA Dubai World Series Finals held in Burj Park, Downtown Dubai in June 2016. As part of a two-year agreement, the 2018 tournament will also be held at Dubai Opera from June 5-9.

The next tournament on the Road to Dubai standings is the J.P. Morgan Tournament of Champions, taking place in New York’s iconic Grand Central Terminal from January 12-19. For further information on both the PSA World Series and the PSA World Tour, please visit: www.worldseriesfinals.com.
