Getting the Best US Open Experience
I have personally attended over a decade's worth of Grand Slam tennis. Been to NYC dozens of times in my life with family living there. Explore NYC hot spots and tennis scenes like a local.
We celebrate tennis in the Big Apple every Summer. From Central Park to the Upper West Side, Roosevelt Island to the Statue of Liberty - one of America's best Summer road trips. Whether for a solo trip or with friends/family, spend a vacation in one of the best cities in the USA.
Traveling with the pros on tour, I have a unique insider's view. I can directly compare ours to all the other Tennis Majors: Wimbledon, French Open, and Aussie Open...even the 2024 Paris Olympics.

PRO TIP: I find great seats for even sold-out session tickets here. We always buy extra for annual giveaways, too!
Get notified with our instant email price alerts whenever the latest ticket deals pop up.
Prices are now listed "all-in," so fees are shown clearly upfront for easier comparison. Each year, when fans use our links, we even donate fees to charities that benefit local NY schools and classrooms.
Monthly To-dos:
From past experience, I trust only verified "Instant Access" tickets from the Official Tickets for the US Open. If the price is too good to be true, it probably is! Generally, the better seats go fast, so the sooner you research, the better. Be patient and check back for new batches to snag them fast!
- April: Book travel dates (hotel and airfare)
- May: Secure popular presale tickets (Labor Day and Finals Weekend)
- July: Buy One, Get One deals (BOGO offers for 2nd week)
- Aug: RSVP for special events, lounges, and fan concerts to fill your calendar

The main goal is to share my best tips, pictures, and experiences with other US Open fans. We also guide a free Facebook group called US Open Fans and Friends. Great for planning tips, plus NYC meetups with other sports fans in town.

Tip #2:
The night before you go to the US Open, always check the Schedule / "Order of Play" page to plan out the next morning. Figure out which players and courts, in the order you want to hop to next.
Download the US Open app for updated scores to see when matches are about to start or end. Plus, try to arrive on time so you can get to the stadium entrance line before the odd-numbered games (so that they let you into the stadiums). Otherwise, you need to wait for another changeover.
Tip #3:
Find tickets to several popular dates, even if "sold out" on the US Open webpage...you can still find season ticket holders willing to sell verified seats. Don't get scammed by scalpers (*bookmark for the best prices*, which are updated daily)
