US Open Tickets at Arthur Ashe Stadium

There are over 20 tennis courts at the USTA National Tennis Center, but the primary courts for the US Open tournament are Arthur Ashe Stadium and Louis Armstrong Stadium. The main court is located inside Arthur Ashe Stadium, which seats approximately 22,500 tennis fans. The tournament is played on a hard-court surface and Arthur Ashe Stadium has a retractable roof, so rain does not interrupt. Generally, the best place to sit at Arthur Ashe Stadium is going to be behind either baseline. Sections 1-9, 60-67 and 26-45 put fans right next to the action, with the best angles for following volleys. For day sessions, sitting on the west side of the stadium will help you avoid the sun. Sections 329-333 and 126-130 often have great shade during day matches.

Experience the US Open

Courtside boxes get you so close to the action that you can often hear the players talking on the court. They include sections 1-67 and the rows on the side start with row AA, then go from row A to row G with each letter having two rows because they are a box. There are fewer rows behind the court, which generally start with row E. A typical courtside box includes four seats in front and four seats directly behind those, but some come with setups of three and three.

A courtside box can be purchased whole or as individual tickets within a box. It is commonplace when you purchase a pair of seats in the 3x3 boxes to have one person sitting behind due to the configuration of the box. The term “box” is just a geographic location in the stadium that is contained by a railing; it is not a luxury box. We recommend Courtside 35 and 36, which are in the center of the baseline and provide some of the best views. Another great option is Courtside 47, which is located just outside the tunnel that the players use to enter and exit the court.

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 are the top level at Arthur Ashe Stadium and includes sections 301 to 340, which have up to 25 rows in each section. The promenade area offers a clear view of the tennis and allows you to still feel the electricity of a US Open match. Dress warm for evening sessions, as it can be chilly in the higher rows.

US Open tennis events, or tickets, marked as “Grounds Admission Only” are general admission grounds passes which allow access to watch the matches on the courts surrounding Arthur Ashe Stadium and Louis Armstrong Stadium. Grounds admission passes DO NOT provide entry to Arthur Ashe Stadium or Louis Armstrong Stadium. Grounds admission passes are available to buy for the Day session only during the first week of the tournament.

Arthur Ashe Kids Day at the US Open requires a ticket to attend the stadium show inside Arthur Ashe Stadium. The show features top musicians, entertainers and the biggest stars in tennis. On that day admission to the USTA grounds are free, but that does provide access inside Arthur Ashe Stadium to see the show.

The US Open food village has just about every type of food imaginable, as well as, seated restaurants and a few private venues at Arthur Ashe Stadium available only to select ticket holders which require you to purchase a ticket and set a reservation. TicketCity has a limited number of admissions passes each session for Aces, Champions Bar and the US Open Club.

Directions & Parking at 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 from TicketCity.
