VIP hospitality or standard ticket at the US Open?
The same tennis, two levels of experience: the turnkey premium day, or the seat to focus on the match.
Last updated 5 October 2026 · 3 min read
VIP hospitality wins when you want a full premium day — lounge, dining, champagne and service around the match, ideal for hosting. A standard ticket wins if your budget and attention go first to the tennis: it is the seat alone, and you arrange the rest yourself. In short: hospitality for the experience and guests, a standard ticket to keep it to the essentials.
VIP hospitality: the premium day around the match
A VIP hospitality package adds a whole ecosystem of service around your seat: access to a dedicated lounge, refined dining, champagne and premium service throughout the session. Official hospitality exists under the name “US Open Premier” (USTA), with spaces such as The Club, The Overlook or The Blue Room; TGZ is an independent concierge, with no affiliation or connection to the USTA, the US Open or On Location, and references them on a factual basis only.
It is the option that turns a match into an exceptional day: you arrive early, enjoy the lounge between games, host your guests in comfort, and the seat is only one part of the experience. Ideal for hosting clients or loved ones without organising anything yourself.
Access and packages privately sourced, outside public ticketing, subject to availability. Pricing on request, depending on the round, the session, the lounge chosen and the number of guests; finals and the most sought-after lounges go first.
The standard ticket: the seat, and the essence of the tennis
A standard ticket — including a premium reserved category (Courtside, Loge or Promenade) — gives access to the seat, and the seat alone. No lounge, no dining or champagne included: you arrange your own breaks, meals and drinks, and focus most of the budget on the location.
It is the direct, tennis-focused option: you come for the match, choose the seating category according to the view you want, and enjoy the tournament atmosphere — a Honey Deuce in hand if the mood takes you. Leaner, more targeted.
Privately sourced access, outside public ticketing, subject to availability. Pricing on request, depending on the category (Courtside, Loge or Promenade), the round and the session.
Hospitality or standard ticket: the side-by-side comparison
Two levels of experience for the same tennis: hospitality wraps the match in service and hosting; the standard ticket focuses on the seat. The table below summarises the decision criteria.
Pricing is quoted on request: availability and conditions are confirmed to you before any commitment.

|---|---|---|
| Included | Seat + full premium service | The seat only |

| Ideal for | Premium day, hosting guests | Targeted budget, focused on the match |
How to choose between hospitality and a standard ticket
Choose VIP hospitality if you want a turnkey premium day: lounge, dining, champagne and service included, with nothing to organise. It is the choice of hosting — receiving clients or loved ones in comfort, where the match is part of a wider experience.
Choose the standard ticket if your priority is the tennis and a targeted budget: you pay for the location, choose the category by the view, and arrange the rest at your own pace. It is the choice of the essentials, leaner.
When in doubt, ask yourself: are you after a full experience to offer and share (hospitality), or above all the best seat for the match at the right budget (standard ticket)? We compare both levels bespoke, source access privately subject to availability, and provide a quote tailored to your session.
