Starting Wednesday, August 26, at 10 a.m., tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis at usopen.org/NYCtickets. New Yorkers can purchase up to two tickets at a cost of $100 each for Main Draw matches scheduled from Sunday, August 30, to Tuesday, September 8. The tickets include seating in Arthur Ashe Stadium and Louis Armstrong Stadium, along with grounds passes to observe the world's top players.

Mayor Mamdani stated, "This summer, we have shown again and again that sports belong to the people. From the World Cup to track and field championships, we have opened stadium doors to some of the biggest sporting events. Today, we are doubling down on that work by making the US Open more affordable for New Yorkers. If the world’s best tennis players are coming to our city, New Yorkers should be able to see them play."

USTA CEO Craig Tiley emphasized the importance of access, stating, "We want as many people as possible to experience tennis and the US Open, and this additional Main Draw ticket access for New Yorkers only strengthens that commitment. The US Open already offers eight days of free grounds admission and welcomes large crowds to see the best players practice and compete. Access to tennis will always be our priority."

The US Open, one of the most-attended annual sporting events globally, generates over $1.2 billion in economic impact and employs more than 7,000 people each year. In 2025, the tournament attracted nearly 1.2 million attendees and is viewed by over 200 million people across 200 countries.

This initiative is part of Mayor Mamdani's broader efforts to make sports more accessible to New Yorkers, which include securing affordable tickets to FIFA World Cup 2026 matches, offering free World Cup FanFests in all five boroughs, and extending public sports facilities usage.
