How much to pay for US Open tickets? 4 Rules for Buying

US Open Tickets - good conditions to buy

  • Arthur Ashe #1 < $200 for weekdays; < $150 for nights; < $300 for weekends
  • Armstrong #2: Ashe +/- $50 (for closer tier, better seating distance)
  • Grandstand #3: Ashe +/- $20 (best for 2nd or 3rd rounds, depends on matchup)
  • Grounds Passes - must be less than any Ashe Ticket; otherwise, just wait until later...

Prices fluctuate on the resale market daily. This chart below will be updated weekly.

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!
The later the purchase, the better the information - but risking higher prices!
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.

Why are Ashe tickets the *safest* tickets to buy?
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.

Free US Open Tips and promo codes


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!

US Open Tennis, Ticket Deals for Summer in August

The Start of Summer and the US Open Tennis Series

Our great American summer tradition - between BBQs and fireworks. Professional sports means enjoying a fun day together and cheering on our favorite players. Nothing beats sharing some food with all your friends and a chance to collect an autograph or collectible souvenir.

Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, the pools open, school is out, and your adventure awaits!


Cheaper to Wait? When to buy US Open tickets?

Note the initial offer prices and look for special sale promotions between July and early August. More seats become available during the summer. Deals are usually for mid-week at the promenade seating level near the upper rows of Ashe.

It is our advice to have travel plans set before getting tickets. Having plane and hotel tickets ready helps me narrow down my dates. Next, decide how many day or evening sessions you plan to attend. I prefer two Ashe day sessions for max value so you'll see most of the players.

#1 Most Popular Date - Smart Shopping

Sat, Sept 3rd is the most popular middle Saturday!
Sign up for our emails to get our 15+ years of attending US Open and tennis tournament tips.

You will be notified when special promo offers are announced. The Amex Centurion suite and Chase RSVP lounge also become available for online reservations during the Summer.


"Buy in July vs Rush in August" - Summer Ticket discount trends

In past years, we have purchased 2-for-1 ticket deals and seen prices as low as $30. Sponsors such as Emirates, Amex, JP Morgan, and IBM often have discounted ticket codes. We share the sponsor deals on our email list!

We are neither paid nor sponsored by the US Open, and our opinions are completely our own. These limited-seat deals become available and are very useful if you just want to roam the grounds. More people will start selling tickets by mid-August, making it a buyer's market.



The US Open Series features tennis events held across the USA (July - August)
It signals the beginning of the US Hard Court tennis season. Everything leads up to the big finish in NYC with the US Open in August. Attending any of these events across America will give fans a sneak preview locally for anyone who can't make it to the Big Apple.


I share my personal travel experiences on the ATP and WTA tennis tour at JCtennis. Feel free to check it out if you want inspiration or a sample guide for planning your own post-vaccination tennis vacation.

Full Stadiums, more positive signals from Sports Fans in Europe


Being a photographer on the court and at their press conference, my opinion is from an insider perspective at actual pro tennis events. I watch the conditions and players on the ATP and WTA tours daily. It was an honor to dust the same clay off my shoes as Nadal and Djokovic.

Witnessing the energy and passion of the full Spanish crowd at Madrid’s stadium is the most amazing way to feel connected with a sea of cheering fans full of energy, waving their red and yellow. 

Feel the spirit of Tennis Fandom in person
Like a Champions League soccer match, the entire crowd erupts together in a wave of humanity. Tennis fans enjoyed the clash between Nadal and Alcaraz with stars from Real Madrid soccer players and even the King of Spain himself in attendance.


We heard the packed Parisian crowd again at the French Open in Paris. So far, so good. Regarding public safety and health, we look back a few weeks after these sporting events conclude.

This is the most encouraging sign that major sporting events can return fully this year in a post-vax environment.

US Open: Thanks to all our Fans!

Wrapping up Summer of Tennis

First off, just want to thank all our fans and all our supporters for making this the most successful US Open and Summers of Tennis we've ever had!

I appreciate all the positive comments and amazing stories in fan mail I've gotten back from our fans who have been lucky enough to go see the US Open first hand. Practically everyone had at least one or two great memories to share with us.

Sharing the Tennis Love

I have been fortunate and blessed to be able to travel around the world to see so many ATP and WTA tournaments. Plus, finally pulling out all the stops to see the Aussie Open in 2013 - to finally complete the "4 Grand Fan Majors or Slams" - is an amazing journey I love sharing.

Coming back to the US Open (my favorite slam) over the years, it's a very rewarding feeling to meet and talk to so many who are enjoying it too.

Especially all the young kids at the US Open Arthur Ashe Day this year - it looked like a record to me! It was great to see all the Volunteers helping out with the USTA for free, because you know those are the ones doing it for the love of the game.

It was amazing to see young 15 year old CiCi Bellas play fearlessly and win the first round! Plus you never know when our next Andre Agassi or Serena Williams may have been inspired by just being there.

We hope to keep this Tennis-Bargains tradition of helping out tennis fans all over the world get to the Open with some help from our promo codes and ticket giveaways!

Giving back to the Game

Giving away a few US Open tickets each year is hardly "philanthropy" but the best feeling comes from knowing that someone out there in the world got to enjoy some great tennis because of this site.

Especially when we find someone at their first Grand Slam ever - I personally remember how happy and excited I was knowing I was going to  go to my first professional match and hope we can share that same experience with as many people as possible.

We try hard to be the "Robin Hood of tennis" - looking out for the little guy. It is wonderful to know that we can highlight the 2-for-1 ticket offers so that everyone has a chance to see the big game with a friend.

Helping all tennis fans: one Promo Code and one Tennis Deal at a time

We hope that you were able to get some good deals, find some elusive tickets and shared some fun times with your friends, family and the fan sitting to the left and right of you =)

We want everyone to have a great time whether you watched it from home or in NYC.

Enjoy the US Open Finals everyone and see you guys next year!!

Rain Update: Men's Monday Final Tickets ~$80, Women's Final ~$50 on TicketExchange NOW!

Check here on Limited Availability and Updated Prices:

$5 Grounds Pass for Men's Monday Finals

You can also get a $5 Grounds Admission Pass to watch the Men's Final at the US Open on the big screens. It can actually be a very exciting crowd outside the stadium. You can actually hear the players' shots echoing, fans cheering on both sides plus usually a better view than sitting at the very top of Ashe.

Tip: Be sure to pick up one of those Amex radios to get the play-by-play audio too. Can't beat $5 bucks!! 

Actually now that I think about it, if you arrive later at night and see some people leaving the match early - you could always ask them nicely for their old ticket.
If Murray wins, it might be cool to go inside just to see Andy hoist his first Grand slam title! Enjoy the Finals!

US Open Weather and Ticket Update:

With severe weather canceling the 2nd men's semi-final and women's final, ticket sales are going crazy! People are trying to get rid of tickets as fast as they can tonight - Sell! Sell!

Ferrer vs Djokovic, Murray vs Berdych

Should make for some great matches on Sat! Let's see who will tire out whom before Sunday's Final. Ferrer will be my dark horse pick to win it all; Maybe we'll see someone win their first major - lots of possibilities left.


Hope everyone will enjoy the rest of the US Open, wherever you get to watch it!

For food choices at Citi Open

I recommend the Basil Chicken entree at the Thai place. Most of the staff are pretty friendly and seems like the business place in the food court area. Gets busy around lunch/dinner, so try to go early and get a place to sit!
