Tickets for the Grand Slam tournament have been selling for a pretty penny on the secondary market — with courtside seats asking as much as $20,000 per person.
Last year, the final US Open match ever played by women’s tennis legend Serena WilliamsMarc Viscardi, a transplanted Arizonan who has lived in New York since 2010, has made it a point to attend every US Open tournament since moving East.
Tennis fans have shelled out top dollar to see stars like Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open in Flushing Meadows.“It’s rare that the price of an event or concessions jumps out because we don’t have the same sticker shock living in New York, but this year it really did.”A single-scoop cup of ice cream from popular brand Van Leeuwen will set one back $9.50 while a double scoop goes for $11.50 — with the option of adding a waffle cone for an extra $2.
A courtside seat at Arthur Ashe Stadium is going on the secondary market for $20,000, according to a report. American tennis star Ben Shelton is playing in the semi-finals.Fans can still score seats through Ticketmaster at a more reasonable price for tonight’s women’s semifinals — which will feature Gauff taking on Karolina Muchova of the Czech Republic in the first match at 7 p.m., followed by Keys against world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus. The cheapest seats cost $159.
“The US Open is a cultural phenomenon and demand is at an all time high,” Chris Widmaier, a spokesperson for the United States Tennis Association, which oversees the US Open, told The Post.
