Most importantly, these tickets are verified as genuine by Ticketmaster and reissued in your name - so someone cannot simply print out multiple copies and sell them.
My advice: Buy only from sellers with good ratings and reviews or accept only digital tickets that can only be used on your mobile phone!
Last Minute Tickets - Transfer possible after gates open at 10AM?
Note: Ticketmaster stops ticket sales for that day once the event starts...
Some possible ways around to make a mid-day purchase?
- StubHub has fewer tickets - but sometimes a deal or two
- TM has the originals, but some fans trade tickets here indirectly
- Make sure you check the totals *after all fees*
- SeatGeek shows their lowest listed price for each day
Q: Need to switch to a different ticket? How do you "exchange" Tickets?
A: Officially, Ticketmaster will not let you refund or exchange directly back to them.However, if someone decides they cannot attend and wants tickets for a different date, the best way is to try to resell them through Ticket Exchange and buy ones you can use with your credit. This is basically the best way you can "trade" tickets for the US Open. It is a huge marketplace.
1) After you create and log in with your Ticketmaster account, go to "My US Open Account Manager," and it will show electronically what tickets you have available to be sold or transferred.
2) Select the seat that you want to sell and the price you want to sell it. After your tickets are sold, you will receive credit for most of the sale price you set - which you can use to buy other tickets that you can watch!
Setting your Ticket Price
My advice is not to set the sale price too high, if you want to get your money back fast. If you are one of the lowest prices, your tickets will get bought even faster. Do a little research on the "Buy Tickets" page to see how much they are going for, and try to beat that price by a few dollars.Seller's Tip:
You can even set it so that if nobody buys your ticket at your price within a certain time, you can get an email notification so you can still go use them instead! Good when the weather is iffy. Also, you can forward them to your friend's email (as a last-minute tennis gift).
Tennis-Bargains Tip for Season Plans and Mini-Plans Holders
Tennis-Bargains Giveaways - Email Tickets to our Fans
TicketExchange is what I used to offer free tickets instantly to our Tennis-Bargains winners.- Miguel S. (Queens, NY) - last week 7/15
- Piyush (Hoboken, NJ) - this week 7/22.
In the example above, I just select the tickets I want to send, and just forward them to their email address. Both of them received Men's/Women's QF tickets. They just print them out and show them at the gate with their unique bar-codes and enjoy!
