US Open

Join Starr Tours for an unforgettable day at the U.S. Open, the fourth and final event of tennis’s Grand Slam, held on the acrylic hard courts of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, NY. The U.S. Open consists of championships in five main categories: men’s and women’s singles, men’s and women’s doubles, and mixed doubles. Everywhere you look, there's tennis, as new faces look to make their mark alongside established stars. Every court at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center is teeming with talent; the practice courts are packed with those who've been there and those looking to get there. There's an electricity in the air that you can feel down to your socks. And, of course, the stores are freshly stocked so you can buy socks. It's like one incredible block party (if your block was 42.5 acres and had 22 courts).

 

What's included:

• General Admission to USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center Grounds

• First-come, first-served access to General Admission areas of:

-Louis Armstrong Stadium (unreserved seats in the upper level on both sides of the court)

-Grandstand Stadium

-Field Courts & Grounds, including the practice courts west of Ashe Stadium

**With a Grounds Pass, there is no access to Ashe Stadium (only Ashe reserved tickets provide access to Ashe Stadium)

 

Louis Armstrong Stadium: Opened in 2018, Louis Armstrong Stadium brings fans closer to the action with exceptional sightlines for an unparalleled viewing experience. As the U.S. Open’s No. 2 show court, Armstrong Stadium consistently delivers some of the tournament's most thrilling matches. With a retractable roof, it ensures play continues rain or shine, providing comfort for both players and spectators.
