- Get Ashe if you want rain protection with the roof
- If Armstrong or Grandstand are only slightly more expensive, buy those instead
- Grounds Passes should be cheaper than Ashe! Mon, Sept 2 (Ashe -$50) and Tues, Sept 3 (<$100)
- Before buying last-minute tickets in late August, you should check the Draw or Order of Play.
- If buying before the draw, compare dates to last year's lineup to set your expectations.
Use the daily "Schedule of Play" guide during the tournament to decide what matches you want to see.
If you're not picky, you can choose the cheapest option and roam around the 17 courts from match to match!
1) Arthur Ashe Stadium (Good price = $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 cheapest.
The back rows (letters like V, 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 Grounds Pass 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!
