US Open Tennis
US Open Tennis takes place Late Aug - mid-Sep 2027 (dates TBC) in Flushing Meadows, New York, USA. The dress code is Smart casual New York summer - linen, loafers, a hat and sunscreen for day sessions, and a light layer for night sessions when Ashe gets cool under the roof. Typical cost ranges from 1800 to 5000 EUR per person.
The loudest of the four Grand Slams, played on hard courts at Flushing Meadows under the retractable roof of Arthur Ashe Stadium. The event opens with a free Fan Week and qualifying rounds before the main draw runs across the closing fortnight, and the floodlit night sessions in front of 23,000 people are what set it apart from anywhere else on tour.

How to attend
Tickets are sold at usopen.org and through Ticketmaster, with presales for American Express cardholders and USTA members ahead of the general summer on-sale. Grounds passes in the first week start around USD 90, while Arthur Ashe night sessions run from roughly USD 150 into the thousands for finals weekend. Fan Week at the start of the event is free to attend and is the single best-value way to watch players practise and contest qualifying.
Insider tip
A grounds pass gets you into every court except Arthur Ashe - in the first week that means top-20 players a few metres away for a fraction of the stadium price.
