Expert Tips for Choosing the Best Seats at Flushing's Premier Tennis Venue

With our detailed seating analysis and price comparisons, you'll find the perfect balance of view quality and value for the US Open Tennis Championships at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Whether you're looking for budget-friendly options, premium experiences, or last-minute deals, we've identified the best sections for every type of tennis fan.

Best Value Tickets (Under $200)

• Upper Promenade (Sections 318-340): Rows N-Y offer surprisingly good elevated views of the entire court. Best deals in Sections 318 (Row N at $171) and 327 (Row Y at $177).
• Mid-Level Corners (Sections 301-317): Sections 304 (Row H at $180) and 314 (Row P at $181) provide angled but unobstructed views at affordable prices.
• Tip: Avoid rows AA-G in upper levels as they may have obstructed views from the stadium overhang.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($200-$400)

• Loge Level (Sections 101-136): Sections 121-124 (Rows H-K) around $500 offer the best mid-range value with closer, more direct views.
• Upper Sideline (Sections 301-317): Rows E-H in Sections 302-303 ($262-$287) provide clearer sightlines than corner sections.
• Best Value: Section 336 Row E ($236) combines good elevation with relatively central positioning.

Premium Seating ($400-$1,200)

• Lower Promenade (Sections 1-60): Sections in rows E-H ($1,500-$2,000) put you just above court level with outstanding player visibility.
• Loge Sideline (Sections 101-110): Rows A-C ($900-$1,200) offer premium sightlines without the courtside price tag.
• VIP Tip: Aces/Champions Club passes at $132 include premium lounge access with outdoor viewing decks.

Courtside & Ultra-Premium Options ($1,200+)

• Courtside Boxes (Sections 1-20): Rows A-F ($2,000-$3,300) put you within feet of the players - Section 16 Row A at $2,121 is a relative bargain.
• Player Guest Sections: Rows AA in select sections (like 54 at $2,834) offer exclusive seating directly behind the baselines.
• Package Deals: Courtside Level packages at $2,152 include premium amenities and better value than individual seats.

View Comparison Guide

• Upper Level (300s): Panoramic views but distant - best for seeing overall court strategy. Avoid first 7 rows.
• Loge Level (100s): Ideal balance of proximity and elevation - sections 101-110 center provide the clearest views.
• Lower Level: Sections 1-60 offer incredible player proximity but require more head movement to follow play.
• Corners vs Sidelines: Sideline seats (odd-numbered sections) provide better views of baseline play; corners better for net play.

Parking & Transportation Tips

• Lot F parking at $48 is the most affordable option, with Lot H at $107 offering closer access.
• Consider public transit - the 7 train stops right at Mets-Willets Point station adjacent to the complex.
• Premium parking passes (Lot A at $1,571) include closest access but rarely worth the premium price.

Final Recommendations

• Budget-Conscious: Upper Promenade Section 318 Row N at $171
• Best Value: Loge Level Section 121 Row J at $425
• Premium Experience: Section 16 Row A at $2,121 or Courtside Packages at $2,152
• Last-Minute Deals: Check Sections 336-340 day-of for potential price drops

Remember that Arthur Ashe Stadium's retractable roof means all seats are protected from rain delays. For the best experience, consider evening sessions when temperatures are cooler and the atmosphere is more electric.
