US Open Tennis (2011) Tickets are Hottest Events in September

That’s right, the hottest ticket this fall isn’t to see the Red Sox or the Yankees or even the NFL season kickoff. It’s tennis in New York that remains the top draw in September. The US Open is the final of the four tennis “Grand Slam” events and draw fans from around the world to Flushing, NY.

Fans can usually find US Open tickets in the upper sections of Arthur Ashe Stadium (the main court) for early sessions in the $25 range. Court-side tickets to later sessions can often range from $2,000 – $7,000+ on the ticket market.

As with any hot event, ticket market prices can and do vary significantly — sometimes by hundreds and in some cases thousands of dollars for tickets in the same row.
