Best Value Tickets ($299-$325)

• Section 17, Row R ($299) - Excellent baseline view at lowest price point. Rows R-T offer similar value.
• Section 8/11, Rows U-V ($305-$320) - Diagonal court perspective with good elevation. Avoid rows beyond W in these sections.
• Section 16, Row V ($307) - Preferred for seeing serves (north end). Better legroom than adjacent sections.
• Section 2, Row W ($315) - Sideline view at 3/4 court height. Optimal for tracking cross-court rallies.

Sweet Spot Seats ($336-$400)

• Section 10, Rows U-X ($336) - Elevated corner seats with panoramic views. Best for seeing angles.
• Section 1, Rows W-X ($336) - Premium sideline locations at 15% discount versus Arthur Ashe.
• Section 17, Row T ($336) - Directly behind baseline with clear service line visibility.
• Section 9, Rows U-W ($346) - Ideal for night matches (shaded early) with excellent player proximity.

Higher Tier Options ($400-$528)

• Loge Sections (12-18, Rows M-Q) - Closer to court but require neck craning at $400-$528. Best for: Section 12 (center service box view), Section 16 (player tunnel sightlines).
• Premium Rows (Sections 1-11, Rows P-R) - First elevated tier at $528. Note: Rows P-Q often have obstructed views of far baseline.

Premium/Last-Minute Seats ($528+)

• Club Sections (Rows A-L) - $700+ for player proximity. Section 5 Row A ($1672) offers best player expressions but poor court depth perception.
• Front Row Corners (Sections 3/7/14) - $695-$796. Intimate but extreme angles. Avoid Section 3 Row H ($695) - sun glare issues.
• Last-Minute Deals: Check Sections 10/17 day-of for 20-30% drops on premium seats.

View Comparison Guide

• Baseline vs Sideline: Sections 16-18 (baseline) better for serve analysis; Sections 1-10 (sideline) superior for point construction viewing.
• Elevation Tips: Rows U-X (mid-level) offer best comprehensive views; Rows A-J too low for depth perception; Rows K-M may require standing during rallies.
• Sun Considerations: North sections (1,16-18) get afternoon shade. South sections (7-10) have morning shade.
