What Are the Best Seats at the US Open?
Closest to the action, an intimate setting or the buzz of the big nights: the seat that matches your priority.
Last updated 5 October 2026 · 3 min read
To be closest to the players, courtside seats at Arthur Ashe Stadium are the most sought after, especially for finals and marquee matches, sourced outside public ticketing. For a more intimate setting, Louis Armstrong Stadium often brings you closer to the play than Ashe's upper seats. For comfort and prestige, aim for the loge or a luxury suite; for atmosphere, choose a night session at Ashe. All seats are quoted on request, subject to availability.
The best seats at a glance, by priority
There is no single "best seat" at the US Open: it all depends on what you are after. Proximity to the players, an intimate setting, the buzz of the big nights and access to the finals do not lead to the same choice.
The table below sums up our recommendation for each priority. Every seat is quoted on request, depending on the session and the matchup, subject to availability.

Courtside: the seat closest to the players
Courtside seats, at the very bottom of Arthur Ashe Stadium, are the most sought-after of the tournament. They offer the most direct proximity to the players, at court level, and the clearest read of the rally. For 2026, the number of courtside rows was expanded, with new rows added closest to the play.
Their price, quoted on request, depends on the matchup, the session and the row. These seats sit outside public ticketing and are offered subject to availability, with conditions confirmed before any commitment.
It is the choice for those for whom the intensity of the tennis and proximity outweigh everything else.
Loge and suites: comfort and prestige
The loge is the premium tier above courtside at Arthur Ashe: comfortable seats, an unobstructed view and a more refined atmosphere. Its price is quoted on request, depending on the session and the matchup.
Arthur Ashe's luxury suites are the most exclusive experience: private spaces of around 22 to 35 seats, with catering and concierge service included. Their price is quoted on request, depending on the session, the matchup and the group size.
Loge and suites are for guests seeking comfort, discretion and high-end service as much as the tennis itself.
Day or night: which session to choose
At Arthur Ashe, day sessions (from around 11am) and night sessions (from around 7pm) are sold separately. The day session usually features several matches and pleasant natural light; it suits those who want to enjoy the tennis over a longer stretch.
The night session concentrates the prime-time matchups and the most electric atmosphere of the tournament, under the retractable roof and the stadium lights. It is the most in-demand session — and often the most memorable.
Our advice: night for atmosphere and the big matchups, day for the volume of tennis. A signature Honey Deuce cocktail is part of the ritual, at any hour.
Arthur Ashe, Louis Armstrong or the Grandstand: which court
Arthur Ashe Stadium is the main show court: it hosts both singles finals and the biggest matchups, day and night. Louis Armstrong Stadium, the second court (around 14,000 seats, rebuilt in 2018, retractable roof), is more intimate and offers excellent sightlines; its separate reserved ticket makes it a fine option for big matches early in the event.
The Grandstand (around 8,000 seats, opened in 2016, no roof) is the third court: intimate and included with grounds access. A day pass gives access to the outer courts, including Armstrong's general-admission areas and the Grandstand.
In short: Ashe for the finals and the headline acts, Armstrong for intimacy and sightlines, the Grandstand and outer courts to experience the tournament up close during the day.
