2 US Open Ticket Tips: why it's better to buy tickets as a pair

Always consider buying Two tickets instead of just One.
Even if you don't need both, yet...Why?

One of the ball kid's proud mom got an extra ticket from Tennis-Bargains last year to watch her son!

Tennis is always more fun when you bring your buddy :)
We are giving away US Open tickets in pairs. Enter for a chance to win.

One Pair is almost always better than 2 Single Tickets...

• It is much easier to resell when needed.
• For some reason, if you cannot attend and need to get rid of the tickets.
• In most cases, selling (or trading) a pair of tickets is MUCH easier than selling a single*

Greater Value when re-selling a pair of unused tickets

• The biggest marketplace for US Open tickets will get the quickest buyer and best price. Otherwise, you must hope you get lucky on Craigslist or eBay with legitimate tickets.
• Market research has shown that the sales price of 2 seats sold TOGETHER is usually higher than selling 2 single tickets apart, even in the same row.

Problems with One Single Seat (Gap Seats or Splits)

• Think about going to a movie theater.  If you see a "one-seat gap" between two couples, it is a bit awkward and often that seat will stay empty.
• Also the US Open and the movie cinema both want to minimize "wasted" empty seats.
  
  Strategy for selling your Extra Seat if you end up with one extra single
• Sell it online at TicketExchange.
• This is a very easy and safe way to recoup your cost.
• There are other places you can post, but often the most hassle-free way is to just input your Ticketmaster barcode.

They guarantee the transaction and deposit your money straight to a bank account. Much easier than standing outside an hour before a game to try to unload a ticket!

Buyer's Tips with BOGO (Buy One, Get One Ticket Deals)

• When you purchase 2-for-1 tickets, you are already getting 50% off the box office price.
• For the same standard price, you get 2 tickets instead of 1. So think of it as a way to lower your final price of your own seat.
• When listing your discounted seat, you're essentially sharing the savings. It allows the next person to purchase the resold seat below retail price. Share the savings*

Buy Online Tickets instead of Waiting-In-Line at the Box Office
1) SAVE TIME - "there are no lines when you order on-line".
You can get a price check instantly on the exact seat you want. Updated daily. Prices posted by other actual ticket holders who want to sell great seats.

Compare sellers and buyers prices without having to wait long lines. The best seats, even sold out ones are listed for you here. Why would anyone buy them at full retail price anymore??

2) Promo codes (2 for 1 deals and exclusive seats)
If you get to the box office and tell them you see this promo code online and can you please match it, their answer will be, please go online to Ticketmaster.com as we do not accept online codes

3) Get great seat tickets with less money and frustration
It is MUCH easier to use the 2-for-1 promo codes that come out each year. In my opinion, think of it as "an extra free ticket" for a friend.

Plus you can always sell the extra one through the genuine TicketExchange dealer.

4) Sell any extra tickets later (only buy online electronic tickets at TicketExchange)
This way you can transfer to friends via email, or sell them directly without mailing anything.

Personally, I think this is much better than risk getting in trouble with scalpers or police circling around the subway stop each year. Have you ever have tried standing there trying to haggle with someone over a ticket price? Especially when you're just going to miss more of the match every minute?! Trust me, it is not worth the hassle and frustration to waste time*

If you really want to get your tickets today, here is what I recommend...

Get your Labor Day Weekend tickets in early July and sell the session you don't use.
Consider buying a US Open Mini-Plan Option (which costs $100 upfront deposit), then sell your extra unused tickets on TicketExchange. Usually you will come out about even.
