Are ticket prices too high? Should you sell and "trade" for a cheaper stadium? (Updated 08/2024)
- Stick to Ashe, if you want rain protection insurance with the roof, or for a must-see player.
- When Armstrong or Grandstand are only slightly more expensive, buy those instead.
- At similar prices, it's better to have a quality seat you can use than a cheap pass.
- Grounds Passes should always be cheaper than Ashe!
- If buying before the draws come out, compare similar dates to last year's lineup to set your expectations.
- Use the daily "Schedule of Play" guide to choose your favorite matches during the tournament.
- Patient buyers: the night before or hours before a match, a few people *may* sell at a loss
- After matches start or same-day tickets: fans may sell on StubHub (instant transfers only)
If you're not picky, I would get the cheapest ticket. Just being at the US Open is an experience.
Then just wander around the outer 17 courts from match to match!
1) Arthur Ashe Stadium (Good price for 2024 = $200 for Day Sessions)
Upper vs Lower Promenade (Row letters matter!)
If you get a seat in the front with A-C row letters, those are worth at least $50 to $100 more.
Middle Rows (M-P)
The middle rows (letters near M-P) might be worth paying $20-$50 more than the lowest price.
The back rows (letters like W, X, Y, Z, or ZZ) often have empty seats as those people generally roam outside, take selfies of the NYC skyline, or lounge around at free perk booths.
Short Answer: They are the most flexible option. You get Full Access to all the courts.
Unless there is a specific player and match you want to attend, then the Arthur Ashe tickets are the safest all-around bet when buying well in advance.
US Open Tickets with prices updated daily
Ashe is typically slightly more expensive than Grounds Passes. Yet it grants you a reserved seat (very useful if it rains) and allows you into every stadium. Any of the Grounds Passes should cost less.
The strategy is to roam anywhere, knowing you have reserved your seat in Ashe when you want to see your favorite star player play.
The top-seeded fan-favorite players will almost always play there exclusively and often at night.
The trick is if you decide to get the cheapest Arthur Ashe tickets up in the upper promenade, you DON'T have to stay all day in the nosebleeds section! Instead, I recommend getting up and checking out the US Open campus outside!
