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. I will help you explore NYC hot spots and tennis scenes like a local.
This is how we celebrate tennis in the Big Apple every Summer. From Central Park to the Upper West Side, Roosevelt Island to the Statue of Liberty - this is America.
Whether for a solo trip or with friends/family, spend a vacation in one of the best cities in the USA. In 2026, we have our 250th birthday in DC. In 2028, we will host LA's Olympics, too.
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.
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!

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.
