U.S. Open Tickets Out of Reach | Pro Tennis News

U.S. Open ticket prices are skyrocketing—ground passes jumping from $65 to over $300, even a $100 Federer match ticket hitting $1,000. New York’s mayor is stepping in, reserving 1,000 tickets at $100 for locals. While scalping’s legal with minor venue restrictions, Ticketmaster and other resellers thrive, with the USTA pocketing hefty “scrape” fees. The tournament’s popularity is undeniable, but soaring costs are pricing out families and fans. Though the USTA claims they can’t control resale, legal experts say they have more power than they admit. They’re promising changes for 2027 to boost fan access—not just profit—and must leverage their relationship with Ticketmaster to keep tennis inclusive, not exclusive.
