Luxury suite or courtside at the US Open?
Two exceptional ways to experience Arthur Ashe Stadium: host privately, or feel the intensity of the court.
The luxury suite wins whenever you need to host a group in private, with gourmet catering and comfort across the whole session. Courtside seats win for raw proximity to the players and on-court intensity, in a small party. In short: the suite for hospitality and group comfort, courtside for the pure sensation of being as close to the court as possible.

The luxury suite: hosting a group in private, above the fray
The Luxury Suites at Arthur Ashe Stadium are the most private space in the world's largest tennis stadium (~23,771 seats, retractable roof since 2016). Each suite typically hosts 22 to 35 guests in an enclosed lounge, with gourmet catering and concierge service included, most often on an all-inclusive basis.
It is the option designed for hosting: clients, partners, family or friends enjoy a space of their own, an elevated view over the entire court and free movement between the lounge and the seats. You come for the atmosphere, the conversation and the art of hosting as much as for the tennis — all sheltered from the crowd.
Private access, privately sourced, outside public ticketing, subject to availability. Pricing on request, indicative: a suite is booked by the session, in a five- to six-figure range depending on the matchup and the session (night sessions being the most in demand).
Courtside: closest to the players, raw intensity
Courtside seats are the closest to the court, right at the level of play. In Ashe's seating hierarchy (low to high: Courtside, Loge, Luxury Suites, Promenade), these are the most coveted seats on sale: you hear the strike, you read the effort on the players' faces, you live the point from the inside.
It is the option of pure sensation, in a small party. There is no private lounge or catering included beyond the seat: what you buy is maximum proximity and the emotion of the court. With a Honey Deuce (~$23), the tournament's signature cocktail, in hand, you are in the match, not above it.
Privately sourced access, outside public ticketing, subject to availability. Pricing on request, indicative: in the region of $6,000 to $9,000 and above for marquee matches and finals, up to $20,000 and above for the prime locations at a premium session.
Suite or courtside: the side-by-side comparison
Two different logics: the suite optimises group hosting and comfort; courtside optimises proximity and emotion. The table below summarises the decision criteria.
Amounts are indicative, dynamic and given subject to availability; they are confirmed on request.
| Criterion | Luxury suite | Courtside seat |
|---|---|---|
| View / proximity | Elevated view over the whole court | Maximum proximity, at court level |
| Privacy | Enclosed private lounge | Individual seat in the stands |
| Catering | Gourmet, included (all-inclusive) | Not included beyond the seat |
| Group size | ~22 to 35 guests | Small party (1 to a few seats) |
| Indicative price | Five- to six-figure / session, on request | $6,000–$9,000+, up to $20,000+ |
| Ideal for | Hosting a group, comfort, image | Living the intensity up close |
How to choose between suite and courtside
Choose the suite if your priority is hosting: a group of clients or loved ones, a private setting, refined catering and the freedom to come and go throughout the session. It is the choice of hospitality, lasting comfort and image — ideal for turning a day of tennis into a memorable reception.
Choose courtside if your priority is sensation: being closest to the players, living every point physically, in a small party of enthusiasts. It is the choice of raw emotion, where the comfort of a lounge matters less than the minimal distance separating you from the court.
When in doubt, the trade-off comes down to a simple question: are you hosting a group (suite), or seeking proximity for a privileged few (courtside)? We study both routes bespoke, source access privately subject to availability, and provide a quote tailored to the session and matchup you have in mind.
