Are ticket prices too high? Should you sell and "trade" for a cheaper stadium? (Updated 08/2024)

  • Stick to Ashe, if you want rain protection insurance with the roof, or for a must-see player.
  • When Armstrong or Grandstand are only slightly more expensive, buy those instead.
  • At similar prices, it's better to have a quality seat you can use than a cheap pass.
  • Grounds Passes should always be cheaper than Ashe!
The later the purchase, the better the information - but risking higher prices!
If you're not picky, I would get the cheapest ticket. Just being at the US Open is an experience.
Then just wander around the outer 17 courts from match to match!

1) Arthur Ashe Stadium (Good price for 2024 = $200 for Day Sessions)

Upper vs Lower Promenade (Row letters matter!)
If you get a seat in the front with A-C row letters, those are worth at least $50 to $100 more.

Middle Rows (M-P)
The middle rows (letters near M-P) might be worth paying $20-$50 more than the lowest price.

The back rows (letters like W, X, Y, Z, or ZZ) often have empty seats as those people generally roam outside, take selfies of the NYC skyline, or lounge around at free perk booths.

Why are Ashe tickets the *safest* tickets to buy?
Short Answer: They are the most flexible option. You get Full Access to all the courts.

Unless there is a specific player and match you want to attend, then the Arthur Ashe tickets are the safest all-around bet when buying well in advance.

US Open Tickets with prices updated daily

Ashe is typically slightly more expensive than Grounds Passes. Yet it grants you a reserved seat (very useful if it rains) and allows you into every stadium. Any of the Grounds Passes should cost less.

The strategy is to roam anywhere, knowing you have reserved your seat in Ashe when you want to see your favorite star player play.

The top-seeded fan-favorite players will almost always play there exclusively and often at night.

Free US Open Tips and promo codes


The trick is if you decide to get the cheapest Arthur Ashe tickets up in the upper promenade, you DON'T have to stay all day in the nosebleeds section!  Instead, I recommend getting up and checking out the US Open campus outside!

Grounds Passes - new US Open day and night tickets

New US Open (non-resell) tickets may flood the market at the last minute

The good news is that Grounds Admission is currently under $150 for almost all dates!

Likely, the US Open has already completely sold out Arthur Ashe reserve seats.
Nearly all standard tickets are gone for the 3rd year in a row!

Many fans and NYC locals can't take a whole day off work. Or can't spend $200+ for Ashe tickets.

The lowest-priced way into the US Open?

Introducing an affordable new type of ticket for tennis fans at night!

Grounds Admission (GA) and a few Evening Passes

  • A very limited number of evening passes were listed and then quickly sold out!
  • Allows entry to Armstrong and all outside courts but not Ashe stadium
  • Still plenty of matches going on during week 1 at night
  • The weather is cooler - skip the sunscreen, but bring a jacket
  • Hang out after work near the giant fountains and TV screen
  • Starting around $28 for Week 2!

Evening Grounds Passes - on sale Friday, Aug 23

Ground passes to the US Open starting at $28!


Last Minute Tickets - Transfers possible after gates open at 10AM?

Note: Ticketmaster stops ticket sales for that day about 1 hour after the event starts...
So you'll also probably miss most of the first match of the day in order to be fashionably late.


Mid-day purchase possibilities in the afternoon (12PM+)

If you plan to arrive in the early afternoon, here are 2 options to try:
