Controversy among tennis fans over ticket prices for the US Open 2026. A grounds pass for the first day of the tournament is already being sold for $363, equivalent to €310, an utterly outrageous amount to access the venue and enjoy the tournament.

The US Open is one of the most important tennis tournaments on the circuit and one of the four Grand Slams of the season, generating significant anticipation among fans worldwide, especially as it takes place in New York. This high demand is also reflected in ticket prices, which can vary depending on the day, session, and court, particularly during the early days of the event when some of the big names on the circuit make their debut, leading to these ridiculous price increases.

A ticket that does not guarantee a seat in the main court

The "grounds pass " is a pass that allows fans to enter the US Open venue and watch matches and training sessions on different courts throughout the day. However, this ticket does not guarantee access to the main court, Arthur Ashe Stadium, where the most important matches of the tournament are held for both ATP and WTA.

 

 

The situation is serious, and once again, the debate about attending live sporting events like the US Open resurfaces. For many fans, paying over €300 for a ticket to access the venue is a very difficult amount to achieve, especially when they have additional expenses like transportation, accommodation, and food. Prices that year after year continue to worry fans worldwide who will have to give up once again on watching the US Open live.
