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 there, I help you explore the hot spots and tennis scene like a local.
Whether it's a solo trip or with friends/family - spend a vacation in one of the best cities of the USA.
Traveling with the tour, I offer the insider's view and can compare it directly to all the other Tennis Majors: Wimbledon, French Open, and Aussie Open...plus the 2024 Paris Olympics.

I have been a tennis fan, coach, photographer, journalist, and player of this beautiful sport. |
PRO TIP: I can always find great seats for even sold-out session tickets here yearly.
From past experience, I prefer buying only verified "Instant Access" tickets from the Official Tickets for the US Open. Generally, the better seats go fast, so the sooner you look the better. Just be patient and check back every few days to snag them fast!
The main goal is to share my best tips, pictures, and experiences with other US Open fans. We also offer a free Facebook Group - US Open Fans and Friends to plan NYC meetups.

Tip #2:
The night before you go to the US Open, always check the Schedule / "Order of Play" page so you can 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 time it so that 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 when "sold out" on the US Open webpage...you can still find season ticket holders willing to sell verified seats at TicketExchange so you don't get scammed by scalpers (*bookmark this listing page* as these best prices are bought/sold/updated daily)!
