City to Offer $100 Tickets to US Open Tennis Matches
The offer includes ground passes and stadium seats, with buyers limited to two tickets and resale blocked through Ticketmaster.
- On Tuesday, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the United States Tennis Association announced 1,000 discounted tickets for the 2026 US Open will be available to local residents, aimed at increasing accessibility for the marquee tournament.
- Mamdani's initiative responds to surging costs for the Grand Slam tournament, where Ticketmaster resale prices for grounds passes have reached $478, significantly higher than the $65 face-value price.
- Tickets go on sale Wednesday at 10 a.m. ET on a first-come, first-served basis, requiring a certified New York City ZIP code for eligibility to purchase up to two seats for main-draw matches.
- The offer covers seats in Arthur Ashe Stadium and Louis Armstrong Stadium, as well as grounds passes. "We want as many people as possible to experience tennis," USTA CEO Craig Tiley said.
- Continuing his affordability strategy, Mamdani has previously secured discounted tickets for the World Cup and other major sporting events, ensuring they remain accessible to city residents.
