The management of the Mutua Madrid Open has confirmed that, despite high demand and a waiting list, no additional VIP boxes will be added to the tournament, not even in the new stadium to be built in 2028, which will be exclusively for general fans.

The organization of the Mutua Madrid Open has decided to maintain the current proportion of VIP boxes, despite a waiting list for these spaces. This policy will extend to the future stadium, scheduled for construction in 2028, where general public seating will be prioritized.

"There are no available boxes and there is a waiting list, but no more will be set up because the proportion is good as it is. We are already very complete in terms of boxes, and there will be none in the new stadium that will be built, which will only have seats for fans."

The tournament, considered the most important sporting event in Madrid, has experienced significant growth in recent years. The event's management has indicated that the new 2028 stadium is a key element for future development and represents a commitment to the Madrid City Council. Procedures are currently underway to begin construction.
A turning point in the evolution of the Mutua Madrid Open occurred in 2009, when it transformed into a mixed tournament, marking a significant leap in quality. This change, along with the relocation from the Madrid Arena to the Caja Mágica, has contributed to the progressive consolidation of the event, attracting top players and increasing public attendance, especially since the pandemic.
The tournament's management has emphasized the central position of the Mutua Madrid Open in the capital's sports calendar, distinguishing it from other events and highlighting its specific weight compared to events such as the NFL game held at the Santiago Bernabéu.
