A "good price" range for 2024 was about $200-$225 for Day Session tickets.
Row Letters matter!
A-C row letters are always worth at least $50-$100 more.
Going from Upper Promenade to Lower Promenade upgrades your view as much (if not more) than going from Lower Promenade to the cheapest Loge seats.
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.
You also have a place to shelter inside if it rains
Play will continue under its roof, even if outside play is suspended.
Unless there is a specific player and match you want to attend elsewhere, the Arthur Ashe tickets are the safest all-around bet when buying well in advance (before July).
Grounds Pass vs Ashe Ticket
The grounds pass becomes less valuable as more big matches get put on the main stadium. Usually, by week 2, you want access to reserved Ashe seats where most key matches are held. Get our US Open Ticket Updates via email
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.
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!

Barcelona and Mallorca are perfect for young adults and families!
Marc Lopez joined the team in 2022. He is the most friendly coach and Rafa's doubles partner. At Madrid, he and Feliciano Lopez were honored at their retirement ceremonies.
They are only allowing the purchase of up to 16 tickets (8 reserved and 8 ground passes) for any given date - it is best to check out and open a new session if you want to buy tickets for multiple days.

Should you wait for more options? I will explain how you could get a much better deal. Letting some people buy tickets at the full retail price first can be smart. Then you can get them much cheaper later if they find they cannot attend. Discounted tickets are coming out all summer long.
Tickets for the first week inside Ashe are discounted quite a bit and only look to be selling out for a while. It is the Labor Day weekend and Finals Weekend tickets that are pricy.
We have been monitoring ticket sales for over 15 years and have always found the best value on US Open tickets after the General Public Sale begins on July 15 @ 9AM EST.
There are usually more choices, so you will have a better idea of your travel plans to NYC by then, and the daily schedule of tennis events will be available by then.
So why wait if you know they will get sold out later? The Labor Day weekend or Finals Weekend are always popular, so you should consider buying these dates 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.
Here are 3 tips that I recommend during the pre-sale:
Just having an Amex card in your wallet comes with many perks at the US Open as well (eg, FREE pedicab rides, US Open radios, Metro cards, etc*) - just show them your American Express Card.
Big action and stars in a much smaller venue in the Midwest!
It is also a Masters 1000 event and very family-friendly, which means much cheaper costs for hotels and food. The 2023 Final was amazing with Alcaraz and Djokovic, so they will return to Mason, Ohio for 2024 and 2025!
We preview promotions from US Open sponsors like JP Morgan Chase (exclusive front row seats), American Express (snacks and A/C lounges), and HEAD plus Tennis-Point (discount USTA memberships and promo gifts).
Note: tickets you purchase will also indirectly fund the USTA non-profit organization. They support growing tennis in America through memberships and league events.
