Box Office VS Online - Smart Tickets
Tickets are available for sale at the box office, but you will need to download the AXS ticket app.
Bypass the box office if you can help it. It takes 5-10 minutes to buy a ticket and then wait again for the app to send it to the phone. I would buy in advance online and then head straight in.
Fans may wait for the player draws to come out first to determine which of the 3 stadium tickets (or grounds passes) to buy.
Invest in the all-access Stadium 1 Ticket if there's a match you need to see (it will be $25+ more). Otherwise, just get a grounds pass and roam around. There's much more to see outside than inside.
Best to plan out your day with printable draws for planning to see your favorite player (like Carlos Alcaraz) at either the day or night session. Digital tickets are a lot safer and easier to use. Losing a paper ticket happens much more often than you think.
Visit the World's 2nd Largest Tennis Stadium (World #1 is Arthur Ashe Stadium at the US Open)
Hope you can make it to this "5th Slam" event and visit Palm Springs. It is definitely worth the experience for any tennis fans in the USA for a short vacation in California. Welcome back!!
