The US Open ticket rush began Tuesday, with a batch of face value tickets selling out quickly and leaving only expensive resale seats.
The first tickets for the 2026 tournament were available through the American Express presale Tuesday at 9 a.m. ET.
One X user, AlwaysSunnyNYC, posted a screenshot showing 430,298 people ahead of them in the queue for the men’s singles final at Arthur Ashe Stadium. (The stadium fits about 23,000 people, the largest of any tennis venue.)
Another, Jason Deutchman, said he saw tickets for the same seats that were four times more expensive than last year—going from $600 to $2400.
A one-day grounds pass ticket at face value ranges from $65 to $135, depending on the day. But only “Verified Resale Tickets” are available on Ticketmaster, and currently range from about $235 to $450, before taxes and fees. Tickets for the men’s singles final on Sept. 13 are going for as much as $30,000 on the platform.
