US Open Tennis Championships at Arthur Ashe Stadium - Best Seats & Deals

Expert Guide to Arthur Ashe Stadium Seating for the US Open

As the largest tennis stadium in the world, Arthur Ashe Stadium offers a variety of seating experiences for the US Open. This guide breaks down the best value tickets, premium options, and strategic seating choices to help you find the perfect view within your budget.

Best Value Tickets (Under $150)

• Upper Promenade (300s sections): Sections 325 Row L ($130), 316 Row U ($131), and 317 Row K ($137) offer the most affordable views. While high up, you'll still see all the action with a full-court perspective.
• Sweet Spot: Section 324 Row U ($138) provides a centered view behind the baseline - ideal for tracking serves and baseline rallies.
• Pro Tip: Rows A-J in the 300s are under the overhang, offering shade on sunny days but slightly more obstructed views than rows K and above.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($150-$250)

• Loge Level (100s sections): Sections 131-136 around Row M ($325-$341) give you elevation similar to TV broadcasts with excellent sightlines.
• Corner Premium: Sections 304-307 in Rows H-K ($144-$168) put you closer to the corners where dramatic shots often occur.
• Best Angles: Sections 335-337 around Rows G-K ($151-$173) provide diagonal views that let you see ball rotation clearly.

Premium Options ($250-$600)

• Lower Bowl: Sections 104-107 Rows E-K ($430-$495) get you near player entrances with steep viewing angles perfect for studying techniques.
• Baseline Views: Sections 120-124 Rows G-K ($500-$610) let you appreciate serve speeds and baseline exchanges at eye level.
• VIP Experience: Aces/Champions Club passes ($127+) include premium lounges but limited court views - best for hospitality over tennis purists.

Ultra-Premium Seats ($600+)

• Courtside: Sections 50-58 (from $2,222) put you just feet from the players - you'll hear ball strikes and player conversations.
• Player Tunnel Views: Sections 10-22 near the tunnels ($2,445-$2,778) offer celebrity-spotting opportunities during changeovers.
• Best Sightlines: Center sections 52-55 Rows B-E ($2,424-$2,667) provide the most balanced views for serious tennis analysis.

Seating Recommendations by Preference

• For Tactical Viewing: Choose baseline seats between sections 120-124 or 104-107 between rows E-K to study serve placements and groundstroke patterns.
• For Atmosphere: The upper promenade (300s) has the most energetic crowds, especially in the student sections during night matches.
• For Shade/Comfort: West side seats (odd-numbered sections) are shaded first in afternoon matches. Look for rows under overhangs in 100s and 300s.
• For Photography: Sections 304-307 and 335-337 in rows J-M offer ideal elevation to capture the full court with players in focus.

Parking & Transportation Tips

• Lot F parking ($56-$66) is the most affordable but fills quickly for night sessions.
• Consider the subway (7 train to Mets-Willets Point) - often faster than driving for day sessions.
• Premium Lot A parking ($3,006) includes VIP access but is only worth it for corporate hospitality.

Best Last-Minute Deals

Day-of-match prices often drop for:

• Upper promenade singles (check sections 324-337)
