The 2024 US Open tennis tournament takes place August 26th - September 8th at the Billie Jean King
National Tennis Center located in Flushing Meadow - Corona Park, Flushing, NY 11368,
20 minutes train ride from Manhattan. The US Open is the final Grand Slam tournament
of the year and draws the largest audience of the four Grand Slams. The US Open's 2023 main draw attendance was a US Open record 799,402. All 25 sessions in Arthur Ashe Stadium sold out for the second year in a row, and both the Men's (28,804) and Women's Championship (28,143) sessions were the highest-attended Championship sessions in US Open history When you purchase a center court reserved ticket in the Arthur Ashe stadium
you also get access to the outside annex courts and the upper level general
admission areas of the Louis Armstrong stadium.
Grounds Passes - Are general admission tickets which
provide access to the outside courts. The Outside Courts -
The outside competitive courts are numbered between 4 and 17 and have a total capacity of 12,656, the largest being Courts 11 and 12 which can seat up to 1704 tennis fans. With a Grounds Pass you also have first come,
first serve access to the upper level of the Louis Armstrong court and the Grandstand Stadium.
Reserved tickets at the US Open -
The three main courts at Flushing Meadows are Arthur Ashe Stadium - the largest tennis stadium in world with a capacity of 23,771 - Louis Armstrong, which was remodelled ahead of the 2018 US Open and holds 14,061 spectators, and the 8,125-seat Grandstand Stadium.
Want Seats In The Shade?
Now with a retractable roof over Arthur Ashe stadium, the days of
worrying about rain outs are over. Also, thanks to the roof structure, more of the
upper level is shaded. The best sections for the shade would be on the South
& West Sides of the stadium which would be sections 305 to
326 in the Promenade Levels and 105 to 123 in the LOGE
Levels.
Want to see a specific player? We often get asked how can we be sure to see Serena play? The simple answer is unless you buy your tickets after the "order of play" is published the night before the match, nobody knows who will be playing on a specific court on any given day. If you are keen on seeing a specific top ten seed player compete, we suggest you consider buying multiple sessions for any two or three days on center court. By doing this, you have a pretty good chance of seeing the player you want to see play, especially if they are a top ten seed.
The roofed 14,000 spectator Louis Armstrong stadium opened for the 2018
U.S. Open - Say goodbye to rain delays! Except for sections 1-18 located just below the press booth which requires a reserved
Louis Armstrong ticket, the upper level of the Louis Armstrong stadium are open
to all ticket holders, including those with Grounds Passes. The best way to access
these seats is via the upper walkway, which can be reached via the stairs under the
west side of the stadium and via the stairs up from the food concession area between
Louis Armstrong Stadium and the Grandstand.
- Lower level sections go rows A-Z (except for Sections 5 and 14 which only go up to rows W,X,Y and V and in the corner sections).
- Upper level sections go rows A-DD.
The Louis Armstrong stadium schedule will feature three day-session matches for the
first nine days of the year's final Grand Slam tournament, and a night session with
two matches for the first six days. And the best part for those ticket holders, as
with the ones who had Ashe seats for the last two years, is they are going to see
tennis no matter the weather conditions.
Protection from the sun. Your best bet are seats on the west side of
the stadium in sections 2-8.
With this court you have access with general admission area in the upper level. Shaded seats would be in the west sections 3-6 so the sun is at your back after around 3:00 pm. General admission seats get the most shade especially under the overhang at the top.
