Exclusive Experiences at the US Open
The contrast in ticket pricing for the US Open is stark. While the average tennis fan shells out between $150 to $230 for ground passes, wealthy attendees are paying significantly higher amounts for a more luxurious experience, with some tickets costing as much as $21,000, according to the USTA website.
Courtside Thrills
For many, the thrill of being courtside is unparalleled. Last year, content creator Luca Mornet, 23, enjoyed this firsthand, describing the excitement of almost being hit by balls and witnessing the action up close. “It’s so cool to see everything unfold right in front of you,” he shared.
Celebrity Encounters
Seating in the front sections also means the chance to spot celebrities like Hugh Jackman and Michelle Obama. Many attendees benefit from amenities such as private bathrooms and exclusive dining options available on the Club Level, which features less crowded facilities and a dedicated entrance.
Luxurious Suite Options
For an even more lavish experience, A-listers often opt for suites. The President’s Suite is known for its opulence, including a private entrance and an extravagant setup. Guests like Alec Baldwin and Anna Wintour were spotted enjoying its comforts at last year’s tournament.
Exclusive Culinary Experiences
Within the suites, customers enjoy unique offerings, such as the Player Cafe, which provides courtside seating and premium hospitality options. Although access to these passes starts at $6,275, they are usually sold out quickly.
Special Amenities
Other companies also host exclusive suites offering high-class service. In the Emirates suite, for instance, flight attendants serve gourmet food and drinks, while Grey Goose and Lavazza offer specially crafted cocktails and coffee experiences, respectively.
A Memorable First Visit
Last year, Caroline Maggs, a 27-year-old content creator, experienced the lavish Ralph Lauren suite and was impressed by the VIP treatment. From a back entrance to air conditioning and gourmet food, her experience made it difficult to envision attending the tournament like an ordinary fan again.
