Courtside level seats are located in sections 1 – 67. All seats are considered box seats, meaning each box is enclosed by railing. Most boxes accommodate 8 seats arranged across two rows (although the row number is the same), in the corners box sizes can vary. The first row in each section varies from either row AA followed by A, or A for side court seats. Corners and seats behind the baseline all begin at row E, making these much scarcer. Row H is the last row in most sections, with some sections featuring accessible seats on row J, there is no row I.

A courtside box can be purchased whole or as individual tickets within a box. It is commonplace when you purchase more than a pair of contiguous seats to receive seat numbers in a piggyback configuration within the same box.

Loge level seats

Loge level seats are one level up from the courtside seats and provide a nice view of the tennis action. They include sections 101-136 with each section containing rows A-N. A nice option here is Loge 134, which are in the corner and sometimes noticeably cheaper than Loge seats on the baseline.

Promenade seats

Promenade tickets are a great way to feel the electricity of a world class US Open match-up at a value price. Dress warm for evening sessions, as it can be chilly in the higher rows.

Directions to the US Open

The US Open is played on the grounds of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, which is in Queens, New York. The quickest way from Manhattan is to either take the #7 subway train or the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR). The #7 Flushing-bound train lets off at the Mets-Willet Point station, which is a short walk from US Open. The LIRR is more expensive, but more comfortable and a direct trip that leaves from Penn Station.

You can use a car service, or drive yourself, but need to take in to account the heavy traffic. Also parking will be limited, if you drive yourself, so you will want to buy a US Open parking pass ahead of time.
