Fan Tips for Watching Tennis @ San Diego Open
- What highlight matches to watch?
Great matches and top players playing on Friday and Saturday. - Should I buy the Day or Night sessions?
Night sessions are more popular (starting around 5:30pm).
I recommend arriving early and watching Court 2 matches until you can enter. - Parking Options
Recommend taking the shuttle (free for ticket holders). Located near Sea World, just a 15-minute bus ride and hassle-free parking. VIPs have on-site parking for sale. - Is Weekday or Weekend a better deal?
Saturday's Semi-Final tickets are almost sold out.
Check here for prices on the latest on re-sell tickets and parking. - My friend is somewhere in the Grandstand. How do I find them? Use the FLAGs.
First, determine if they are on the West (umpire chair) or East (opposite umpire chair).
Next, ask them to tell you which Flag is flying behind them and what row from the front. - Examples might be to meet @Spain, Row 2...@Japan, Row 4...@USA, Row 6.
On the changeovers (odd games) or end of the set, they can meet you at the flag to say hi! - Usually, Fans enter/exit on every odd-number game.
The key exception is at the start of any set. It is on the 3rd Game (not 1st game). - Where should I sit, so I don't face the sun?
For the Day session, I like the West Side (on the left when entering from the entrance)
At night, I prefer closer to the South East end, so you get a view of the sunset - Does it get cold there at night?
San Diego can get a little chilly after sunset, so bring a light jacket or extra layer! We have been getting overcast skies with slight chances of rain the latter half of the week. Plan accordingly! - Best food option, Favorite souvenirs, Free swag, and Top merch?

Ticket Deals and Seating Advice
- Ground passes start at only $20!
Day Sessions are only available from 10/10 to 10/14. Not Saturday, Sunday. - Grandstand seats offer a higher-up view. You can cheer openly with fellow tennis fans and chat with neighbors more freely. The ambiance from the grandstand is very exciting for the crowd's reactions.
- North Covered Baseline and VIP box seats are still available; most were empty on Day 1. Some folks were able to find VIP resold tickets for under $100! Great deals for the catered food and drinks option.
Court 2 - space can be very tight on Court 2 with many new restrictions for entry/exit. Even for media!
Fans can only sit on one side of the court. All seats are facing directly into the sun so plan accordingly.
Tip: before a good match, head there early to get a good seat before the crowds, and bring shades!
Best courtside seat section?
Day: Section 101 and 102 - umpire chair side.
Night: Sections 103 and 104 for the SD sunset views.
Corners:
Seats 1-8 in sections 101, 103 and
Seats 16-24 in sections 102, 104 offer great angles.
Avoid sitting at the very bottom row?
Rows B, C, and D will give you a slightly better height perspective.
Row A puts practically at court level! (good after the match, or when you want selfies and autographs).
