One Pair is almost always better than 2 Single Tickets...
It is much easier to resell when needed.
For some reason, if you cannot attend and need to get rid of the tickets.
In most cases, selling (or trading) a pair of tickets is MUCH easier than selling a single*
Greater Value when re-selling a pair of unused tickets
The biggest marketplace for US Open tickets will get the quickest buyer and best price. Otherwise, you must hope you get lucky on Craigslist or eBay with legitimate tickets.
Market research has shown that the sales price of 2 seats sold TOGETHER is usually higher than selling 2 single tickets apart, even in the same row.

Problems with One Single Seat (Gap Seats or Splits)
Think about going to a movie theater. If you see a "one-seat gap" between two couples, it is a bit awkward and often that seat will stay empty.
Also the US Open and the movie cinema both want to minimize "wasted" empty seats.
Strategy for selling your Extra Seat if you end up with one extra single
This is a very easy and safe way to recoup your cost.
There are other places you can post, but often the most hassle-free way is to just input your Ticketmaster barcode.
They guarantee the transaction and deposit your money straight to a bank account. Much easier than standing outside an hour before a game to try to unload a ticket!
For the same standard price, you get 2 tickets instead of 1. So think of it as a way to lower your final price of your own seat.
When listing your discounted seat, you're essentially sharing the savings. It allows the next person to purchase the resold seat below retail price. Share the savings*
Below I've posted some of my best US Open pictures taken personally over the years.
I have personally attended over a decade worth of Grand Slam tennis. Been to NYC dozens of times in my life, as well as had the insider's view at all the other Tennis' Majors: Wimbledon, French Open, and Aussie Open as a tennis fan, coach, photographer, and journalist.
Sharing my best tips, pictures, and experiences with other true US Open fans is the main goal of Tennis Bargains this summer.

Download the US Open app for updated scores to see when matches are about to start or end. Plus try time it so that you can get to the stadium entrance line, before the odd-numbered games (so that they let you into the stadiums). Otherwise, you need to wait for another changeover.
