American Express Members - Preferred Seating Codes
Enter the "INCENTUR" at the top. Preferred seats are closer than regular seats at Arthur Ashe Stadium! Can be cheaper than the standard price for the better Lower Promenade Seats. Must use your Amex card to check out*
US Open Insider Tip #1 - TicketExchange for the US Open
Another major source of public tickets are those sold securely by season ticket holders. If they can't go for any reason, they will usually sell it here. You can buy their seat directly via the *US Open TicketExchange Listings*.
*Advice: Bookmark this site as new ticket prices and availability is up to date here*
Buy 1, Get 1 code will be active later this Summer in Round 2 (after mid-June?):
The "INCENTUR" code offer for Amex preferred seats may end by July.
For the discounted Buy 1, Get 1 tickets - last year's "BAMEX" code is not active yet (Round 2). This year it may not be until perhaps mid-June. Subscribe for more US Open ticket offer alerts.
Use your American Express card at CHECKOUT to secure your seats!
Grounds Admission Passes - 1-Day Ticket Option
Tickets Too Expensive or Sold Out? - buy a Grounds Pass HERE! These give you a one-day entry to all courts except Ashe Stadium (usually 10-20% cheaper than an Ashe seat). A great option available during the 1st week at the Open!
Want to see the Federer-Nadal rematch at a US Open match this Fall in NYC?
With their current rankings and today's French Open result:
If they meet at the US Open, the most likely scenario will put both men at the Semi-Finals of the US Open.
Friday, Sept 6th Deal. Get 2 Semi-Finals plus Men's Doubles Final for the price of 1 ticket.
This semi-final ticket is very popular because it also gives you the other Men's Semi-Final which should feature Novak Djokovic. All 3 players are both playing very well, injury-free and show no signs of stopping. Finally, if you are a doubles fan, the ticket will also give you the Men's Doubles Championship match plus both Men's Semis.
Federer's next US Open Slam Chance.
For Federer fans, he has had the upper hand in the last 5 out of 6 meetings (not on clay) over Nadal and might actually be the favorite to win the US Open this year. On the US hard courts, Federer has won more US Open titles than Nadal and Djokovic combined.
I would consider signing up for an American Express Bonvoy Card (as in Bon Voyage). It comes with a 55K point initial sign up bonus. Plus each year, this card gives you a lot of perks, free swag and discounts at the US Open - see below. The points are enough to earn you a free night at the Sheraton Laguardia hotel that is just one train stop away. One less expense for hotels. Plus you have until 5/31/19 to register your card to get up to an additional 100K points *targeted offer*.
NEW US Open changes for 2019:
This year, the US Open is completely getting rid of the week of USTA members pre-sales! This "sale" normally came one week prior to the Amex Sale and most smart fans avoided anyway. Prices were always the same for limited seat choices.
Many fans may jump on this sale, but below I explain how to get a MUCH BETTER deal later. It is better to let some people buy tickets at the full retail price, and then for you to get them much cheaper later if they find they cannot attend. Discounted tickets come out all summer.
2019 US Open Tickets - access to them early, guaranteed We have been monitoring ticket sales for over 15 years now and have always found the best value on US Open tickets after the General Public Sale begins on June 3 @ 9AM EST.
There are more choices, you will have a better idea of your travel plans to NYC by then, and the tennis events daily schedule will be available by then.
3 Reasons to avoid tickets at the US Open "Pre-sales" this year:
Full Retail Pricing - the relatively same quality of tickets will generally be sold cheaper in a few months. The Amex Tickets section is just a batch like normal tickets.
Promo Codes = Better Prices for Promenade Seats - the Tickets offered early at full price, but wait 1 week later (early June) because this is when the Buy One, Get One free deals will appear.
All popular sessions become "Sold Out" in a few minutes - Men's Semi-Final Sat and Finals Sun are nearly impossible to get. You almost ALWAYS get the message that they are "unavailable" even within the few seconds of their pre-sale starting!
Why waste your time at the "Members Presale" trying to sit at your PC at 9AM clicking refresh for nothing?? Their ticket packages are way over-priced! Be smart and get our tips to stay ahead of the pack when value tickets are released!
US Open 2019 Tickets from TicketExchange, sold by Fans to Fans are already available for purchase today
So why wait if you know they will get sold out later? The Labor Day weekend or Finals Weekend are always popular, so these dates you should consider buying first.
For the weekday sessions, if you want to save some of your hard-earned money for the same tickets, read on! We want to help our fans get their US Open tickets for the dates they want, at the best price possible. It pays to be patient this year and we will explain.
Are there *any* good reasons to get your tickets before the June 2-for-1 promo codes come out?
Here are 3 tips that I recommend...
Want to go for a Night Match? - consider getting a Loge or Court-side Seat at Arthur Ashe Stadium for the best seat in the house of the Top Players. With the marquis matches featured @ 7PM, make your trip to NYC count!
We use great for hotels. Just having an Amex card in your wallet comes with a lot of perks at the US Open as well (eg: FREE pedicab rides, US Open radios, Metro cards, etc*) - just show them your Bonvoy Amex Card.
