Food Favs
Love the Salamai Ruben Pastrami @ Sherman's Deli! It's hidden inside Stadium 1 (200 level).
Puesto's Passion Fruit Shrimp Ceviche was also healthy and tasty outside of Stadium 2. Try the new Dragon Lili Cafe for boba teas in the food village for a tasty beverage.
Box Office VS Online - Smart Tickets
Tickets are available for sale at the box office, but you will need to download the AXS ticket app.
Do not use the box office if you can help it. It takes 5-10 minutes for us to buy a ticket and then wait for the app to send it to the phone. I would buy in advance online instead.
Fans may wait for the player draws to come out first to determine which of the 3 stadium tickets (or grounds passes) to buy.
Invest in the all-access Stadium 1 Ticket if there's a match you need to see (it will be $25+ more). Otherwise, just get a grounds pass and roam around. There's much more to see outside than inside.
Best to plan out your day with printable draws for planning to see your favorite player (like Carlos Alcaraz) at either the day or night session. Digital tickets are a lot safer and easier to use. Losing a paper ticket happens much more often than you think.

Hope you can make it to this "5th Slam" event and visit Palm Springs. It is definitely worth the experience for any tennis fans in the USA for a short vacation in California. Welcome back!!
