The 2026 US Open is underway at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, New York. Fan Week runs from August 23 through August 29, with the singles main draw beginning Sunday, August 30 and continuing through the Men’s Final on Sunday, September 13.
For fans still looking for 2026 US Open tickets, there are options across Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium, Grandstand and Grounds Admission. Prices vary significantly depending on the session, stadium, players scheduled and how deep into the tournament you want to attend.
Demand for the 2026 tournament has been particularly strong. Sports Illustrated reported this week that some Grounds Admission tickets originally sold at a face value of $65 were being resold for more than $300.
Despite the increased demand, there are still opportunities to find reasonably priced tickets. As of August 29, secondary-market tickets start at $122, and several Arthur Ashe Stadium sessions can be found for under $200.
Whether you’re a seasoned tennis fan or attending the US Open for the first time, understanding the different ticket options—and comparing prices across sessions and stadiums—can make a significant difference in what you pay. Here’s everything you need to know about buying 2026 US Open tickets.
Primary-market face-value tickets for the 2026 US Open are available through Ticketmaster, the official ticketing partner of the tournament. Individual tickets remain available for select sessions, although primary-market inventory can become increasingly limited as sessions approach.
On the secondary market, TicketIQ offers Fee-Free US Open Tennis tickets. TicketIQ’s displayed prices include no additional TicketIQ service fees at checkout, making it easier to compare the total cost of tickets.
With demand unusually high this year, comparing primary and secondary-market inventory is especially important. Face-value inventory may provide the best deal when it is still available, but once inventory becomes limited, secondary-market prices can move significantly based on supply, matchups and player assignments.

US Open ticket prices vary considerably based on the stadium, day versus evening session, round and players scheduled to appear.
As of August 29, secondary-market prices for the 2026 US Open start at $122, with several early-round Arthur Ashe Stadium sessions available for under $200.
Some of the lowest current Arthur Ashe Stadium get-in prices include:
Session 4 – August 31, Evening: $122
Session 6 – September 1, Evening: $137
Session 8 – September 2, Evening: $173
Session 2 – August 30, Evening: $180
Quarterfinal Session 21 – September 9, Day: $180
Quarterfinal Session 19 – September 8, Day: $181
Session 10 – September 3, Evening: $193
Women’s Semifinals – September 10: $234
Women’s Final – September 12: $370
Men’s Final – September 13: $606
Prices are secondary-market get-in prices as of August 29, 2026 and can change at any time.
One of the more interesting opportunities this year is that some quarterfinal sessions currently cost less than several first-week sessions. Fans who are flexible about when they attend should compare prices throughout the tournament rather than assuming tickets always become more expensive as the US Open progresses.
For fans primarily interested in getting into Arthur Ashe Stadium at the lowest possible price, several evening sessions currently provide attractive options.
Session 4 on Monday, August 31 currently starts at $122, while Session 6 on Tuesday, September 1 starts at $137. Session 8 on Wednesday, September 2 starts at $173.
That’s particularly notable given the attention around rising US Open ticket prices. While certain Grounds Admission tickets are trading significantly above their original face value, there are still multiple reserved Arthur Ashe sessions available on the secondary market for under $200.
The key for buyers is to shop by session, not just by ticket type. A Grounds Pass is not automatically the cheapest way into the US Open, and a later-round Arthur Ashe ticket is not automatically more expensive than an early-round ticket.
Grounds Admission is available from August 30 through September 8.
A Grounds Admission ticket provides access to the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center grounds and first-come, first-served access to general-admission seating areas in Louis Armstrong Stadium, Grandstand and the field courts. Grounds Admission does not include access to Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Grounds passes have historically been one of the most affordable ways to experience the US Open, particularly during the opening rounds when matches are taking place across numerous courts.
However, 2026 has been different. Sports Illustrated reported that some Grounds Admission tickets originally sold for as little as $65 at face value were being resold for more than $300 shortly before the singles main draw began.
That means fans should no longer assume a Grounds Pass will automatically be cheaper than a reserved stadium ticket. On some dates, Arthur Ashe secondary-market inventory is actually available for less.
Before purchasing a Grounds Pass, compare its price with Arthur Ashe, Louis Armstrong and Grandstand tickets for the same day.
Face value is the original price established when a ticket is sold through the primary market. Secondary-market prices are determined by individual sellers and can rise or fall based on supply and demand.
That difference has become particularly noticeable for the 2026 US Open. The $65 Grounds Admission tickets reportedly appearing above $300 on the secondary market provide one of the clearest examples.
When face-value inventory for a high-demand session becomes limited, secondary-market prices can move significantly higher. The reverse can also happen. Sellers holding tickets close to a session may reduce their asking prices, creating opportunities for buyers willing to wait.
For anyone buying today, the most useful comparison is the current available price across multiple sessions and ticket types, rather than simply the ticket’s original face value.
US Open ticket availability depends heavily on the session.
Early-round individual sessions may retain primary-market inventory closer to the event, while Labor Day weekend, quarterfinals, semifinals and finals generally have tighter supply.
For 2026, the US Open’s major multi-session ticket plans are already sold out, including Arthur Ashe Opening Sessions, First Week, Holiday Weekend, Championship Week, Evening Sessions, Grandstand, Louis Armstrong Full Series Courtside and the Arthur Ashe Full Series.
Secondary marketplaces like TicketIQ can still have inventory after primary-market inventory becomes limited or sells out, including close to the start of a session.
If recent US Open history is any indication, today’s price may look very different once the matchups are set. Prices tend to move most dramatically when the order of play is announced and high-profile players land in the same session. In 2025, for example, the get-in price for the daytime Men’s Semifinal ultimately reached $774, up 193% over its final three days, after Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic were confirmed for the session. By comparison, the other Men’s Semifinal, featuring Jannik Sinner and Felix Auger-Aliassime, finished at $269. Similar swings occurred earlier in the tournament, including a 159% increase for an Arthur Ashe evening session featuring Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka. The takeaway for 2026 buyers is that matchups can matter as much as the round itself. Current quarterfinal and semifinal prices may offer good value before the field is determined, but they could rise sharply if marquee players advance and are assigned to the same session. Conversely, prices can fall when a less in-demand matchup emerges, so buyers waiting for certainty about who they will see are also taking on more price risk.
Premium ticket prices for the 2026 US Open vary significantly depending on the session, seat location and whether the ticket includes hospitality. With the ongoing transformation of Arthur Ashe Stadium and expansion of US Open Premier, fans now have more options ranging from premium reserved seats and courtside tickets to all-inclusive clubs and private luxury suites.
Courtside Tickets: Courtside seats are among the most expensive individual tickets at the US Open, but prices vary dramatically by round and matchup. Early-round courtside inventory can cost several hundred to several thousand dollars per ticket, while the best seats for the semifinals and finals can reach five figures. For the 2026 Men’s Final, premium courtside inventory is currently being offered for more than $10,000 per ticket, with some of the most desirable center-court inventory listed substantially higher.
Premium Hospitality: Official US Open Premier experiences such as Courtside Signature, The Blue Room, The Club, The Overlook and The Overlook+ combine premium Arthur Ashe seating with hospitality. Depending on the package, benefits can include gourmet dining, premium bars, VIP entrances, concierge service and access to private or shared hospitality spaces. Prices increase substantially for the later rounds. Current 2026 hospitality inventory for the Men’s Semifinals is being offered in the $6,000 to $11,500+ per-person range, while Men’s Final hospitality packages can reach approximately $10,000 to $18,000+ per person.
Luxury Suites: US Open Luxury Suites are among the tournament’s highest-end options and include private hospitality space on Arthur Ashe Stadium’s dedicated suite levels. Suites accommodate approximately 22 to 35 guests, making them particularly popular for corporate entertainment and larger groups. Official suite pricing is available by inquiry and depends on the session, with early-round sessions considerably less expensive than the semifinals and finals. Premium-suite packages can run into the tens of thousands of dollars per session, with the highest-demand championship sessions potentially reaching six figures.
The Overlook and Overlook+: The Overlook combines courtside Arthur Ashe seating with an indoor dining room, shaded outdoor terrace, chef-attended food stations and an open bar. The upgraded Overlook+ adds premium liquor and specialty cocktails. Current premium inventory illustrates how much pricing can vary by round: later-round packages can cost several thousand dollars per person, with Men’s Final packages currently being offered at approximately $18,000+ per person.
Premium prices are also particularly sensitive to the players who advance. Just as with standard US Open tickets, a courtside or hospitality ticket can increase significantly once a marquee matchup is confirmed. Fans who know they want a premium experience but aren’t committed to seeing a particular player may find better value by purchasing before the final matchup is determined.
Fans primarily interested in premium seating without hospitality should compare available lower-level and courtside inventory on the secondary market with official hospitality packages. In some cases, buying a premium seat without the food, beverage and VIP components can provide a considerably less expensive way to sit close to the court.

The 2026 US Open uses mobile ticketing.
To scan a ticket at the gates, fans must add their ticket to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, or access it through the official US Open app. Screenshots and email confirmations are not accepted for admission.
Fans should download or save their tickets before traveling to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Tickets can also be transferred digitally to other members of your party.
For complete instructions, visit the US Open Mobile Ticketing Guide.
Individual tickets for the 2026 US Open are currently on sale, with ticket options available across Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium, Grandstand and Grounds Admission.
Fans looking for face-value inventory can check the official US Open individual-ticket page.
Because available inventory changes as the tournament approaches, fans should compare primary-market availability with current secondary-market prices before purchasing.
Compare multiple sessions. Ticket prices can vary substantially from one day or evening to the next. If you aren’t committed to seeing one specific player, flexibility can save a significant amount of money.
Compare stadiums. Don’t assume Grounds Admission or Grandstand will automatically be cheaper than Arthur Ashe. The 2026 market has produced several instances where reserved Arthur Ashe tickets are available for less.
Watch the order of play. Early-round prices can move quickly once stars are assigned to specific sessions. If you’re buying specifically to see a particular player, keep in mind that the draw alone doesn’t guarantee which session that player will appear in.
Consider later rounds. Some 2026 quarterfinal sessions currently start around $180, making them less expensive than several opening-week sessions.
Compare the total price. Pay attention to the final price you’ll actually pay rather than simply the initial advertised ticket price.
Buy from established marketplaces. Buyers should understand the protections and guarantees offered by whichever marketplace they choose and verify their tickets before traveling to the tournament.

Wheelchair-accessible seating is available at Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium, Grandstand and other courts, subject to availability. Accessible vertical access is provided through ramps and elevators.
