How Much Do US Open Tennis Tickets Cost?

The US Open is an annual tennis tournament that takes place in Flushing, New York. The first US Open took place in 1881 and was won by Richard Sears. The US Tennis Association Billie Jean King National Tennis Center hosts the US Open every year. The center is home to several different stadiums and side courts where games often take place simultaneously.

In 2023, tickets will go on sale to the public on June 5, and the event runs from August 28 to September 10.

In addition to the US Open Qualifying Tournament, the week leading up to the US Open is known as Fan Week. Fans are able to attend both Fan Week and the US Open Qualifying Tournament for free. Fan Week includes a Legends Match, US Open Players Practice, music, and entertainment.

Qualifying And Main Draw Ticket Prices

The US Open has two types of rounds: qualifying matches and main draw rounds. Within the main draw there are the first, second, third, and round of 16 rounds at the beginning. Afterward, there are the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals. All of the events are also divided by gender. The price of tickets is also dependent on what round is being played. For earlier rounds, the price can be around $65, with the later rounds ranging up to over $300.

US Open Grounds Admission

US Open Grounds Admission refers to general admission tickets to the grounds. The spot you get to watch matches is first come, first serve. These tickets can go for as low as $90. One caveat is that these tickets can go up in price as the event gets closer, and people who have bought tickets earlier resell them at a higher price for a profit. Some US Open Grounds Admission tickets are sold for over $200.

However, Grounds Admission does come with some limitations. For example, certain stadiums may not be accessible to those who don’t have a reserved seat, like the Arthur Ashe Stadium. This limits what matches you will have access to. The practice courts are accessible, as well as GA grounds and some smaller courts.

Front Section Seats

On average, front section seats at the US Open range from about $400 to $800. The disparity is due to where an audience member is seated on the court. Some of the most expensive front section seats are toward the back corners of the court, where athletes serve the ball from, which are the tickets that reach over $750. Tickets on the back end of both sides of the court also go for over $400. The cheapest tickets are at the back of each section, but also in the furthest corners of the arena.

Arthur Ashe Stadium

Arthur Ashe Stadium is the largest stadium at the center and also happens to be the largest tennis stadium in the world, seating 23,200 spectators. Each day, the matches with the highest profile are played in the Arthur Ashe Stadium. As a result, tickets to matches in the Arthur Ashe Stadium are often the most expensive. While early tournament matches at Arthur Ashe can cost as little as $65-75, tickets to championship matches often cost several thousand dollars.

Louis Armstrong Stadium

Louis Armstrong Stadium hosts other high-profile matches, and tickets to high profile matches inside the stadium often cost over $1,000. Tickets to earlier rounds of the tournament in Louis Armstrong Stadium cost anywhere from $65 to over $400.

The Grandstand

Like Arthur Ashe Stadium and Louis Armstrong Stadium, The Grandstand hosts high-profile matches that often cost over $1,000 to attend. Tickets to lower-profile matches at Grandstand are still expensive, costing from $120 to over $200.

Re-Sellers

Just like any other sporting event, re-sellers are often going to be your best bet for finding tickets to the US Open, unless you buy the tickets as soon as they go on sale June 6th or monitor the US Open site as they roll out tickets. Sites such as Ticketmaster, StubHub, Seat Geek, Ticket Smarter, and others all offer tickets and Ground Passes on their individual sites. However, it is more likely that those tickets will include upcharges and other fees so the company can make a profit.
