What Are the Best Seats at the US Open?
Closest to the action, best value or the buzz of the big nights: the seat that matches your priority.
To be closest to the players, courtside seats at Arthur Ashe Stadium are the most prestigious (indicatively $6,000–$9,000 and up for finals and marquee matches, sourced outside public ticketing). For the best value, Louis Armstrong Stadium often offers a more intimate experience 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 offered subject to availability, at indicative and dynamic prices.

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, value for money, 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. Prices are indicative ranges in US dollars, subject to dynamic pricing and availability.

| Best value | Louis Armstrong Stadium | Intimate second court, separate ticket often more affordable than Ashe |
| Comfort and prestige | Loge or luxury suite | Premium tier, refined service and catering |
| Buzz of the big nights | Night session at Ashe | Electric atmosphere under the roof, prime-time matches |
| Watching the finals | Courtside or loge at Ashe | Both finals are played at Arthur Ashe Stadium |
| Discovering the event | Day / grounds pass | Access to the outer courts, Armstrong and the Grandstand |
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.
Indicatively, expect $6,000–$9,000 and up for finals and marquee matches, and above $20,000 for the prime locations. These seats sit outside public ticketing and are offered subject to availability, at dynamic prices and on request.
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. Indicatively, expect roughly $1,300–$2,500 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 set on request, at five- to six-figure levels per session.
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 and a more measured budget. A signature Honey Deuce cocktail (around $23) 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 often represents better value than Ashe 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 value, the Grandstand and outer courts to experience the tournament up close during the day.
