The Grandstand is the connoisseur's ticket: a fraction of an Ashe seat's price, sightlines Ashe cannot offer, and third-round stakes that guarantee real tension. Session tickets also include the grounds, so you can roam the outer courts between matches. For a first US Open, this is the way in.
What to expect
A day session of consecutive matches from late morning; general grounds access included; food villages and outer-court standing room throughout the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
