The 2025 US Open returns to Queens this August, and if you’re in New York City, now is the time to act and get your tickets. Whether you’re a longtime tennis fan or just want a unique summer event, buying tickets early is key.
The US Open is one of the city’s biggest sporting events, drawing crowds from across the country. If you’re planning to attend, knowing when and how to buy tickets can make or break your experience.
Early access for US Open tickets is already underway for American Express cardholders. This gives some New Yorkers a head start before general tickets are released. For everyone else, general sale starts May 30 at 9 a.m. ET.
Inventory is limited, and top sessions (like the finals or night matches at Arthur Ashe Stadium) sell out quickly. To avoid scams, such as those involving the recent playoff run of the New York Knicks, be sure to purchase your tickets through official selling channels.
Types of US Open 2025 tickets and pricing tips
There are multiple ticket options depending on what kind of experience you’re after. Grounds Passes offer general admission to multiple courts and are great for casual fans. Reserved seats for Arthur Ashe Stadium are the most in-demand and provide guaranteed access to the top matches.
Resale platforms can help when the official partners sell out, but expect higher prices. For major matches like the Men’s or Women’s Final, prices can jump by hundreds of dollars, especially for courtside views.
Best time for New Yorkers to buy
New Yorkers looking to plan their end-of-summer activities should act fast. With Fan Week starting August 18 and the main draw running through September 7, this is your chance to lock in plans before the Labor Day rush.
Whether you go for day sessions, night matches, or a full weekend, don’t wait until July. By then, the best tickets will likely be gone.
