The US Open is one of the most exciting sports experiences you can attend in New York City. The entire event is loud and busy, has delicious foods from various vendors, and more tennis matches than you could possibly watch in a fortnight. Being part of the (cheering/booing) crowd at a match in Arthur Ashe Stadium is an automatic bucket list item for those of you who haven t gone.
Plan ahead for this event. Good tickets are very hard to get, good prices are almost impossible to get unless you buy your seats right after a top seed loses in the second week. For instance, when Federer lost Sept 2018, ticket prices for the semifinals seats dropped 60%. Unheard of but a great chance to take advantage.
Food and drinks are extremely expensive everywhere at Flushing. Crazy expensive. Bring your backpack, pack some sandwiches, cold storage drink containers, etc. you ll have just as much fun and they ll let you in as long as they can search and clear the bags you re fine getting your backpack through the gate.
I ve been coming to the Open since it was just Flushing Meadows with wooden stands. I am amazed every year at new improvements to the park. It is also kept very clean, unlike the rest of NYC.
