New York City has opened the door a little wider for local fans, with 1,000 discounted Us Open Nyc Tickets made available exclusively to New Yorkers on Wednesday at 10 a.m. The tickets cost $100 each and cover sessions from Aug. 30 through Sept. 8.
The move came as Zohran Mamdani cut the ribbon on newly renovated tennis courts at Crotona Park East in the Bronx, a development framed as part of a broader effort to expand access to tennis in a community with fewer tennis resources. The US Open was underway in Queens when the city announced the ticket initiative.
Mamdani: cost has pushed fans out
Mamdani said many New Yorkers feel priced out of major sporting occasions. “What we’ve seen is, like with many sporting events, the cost has continued to increase, and many New Yorkers feel as if they don’t have a chance at being a part of something like this,” he said.
That is the point at the heart of the initiative. The city is not offering unlimited access, but it is giving 1,000 New Yorkers a fixed-price route into one of tennis’s biggest events at a moment when prices can often move well beyond the reach of ordinary fans.
What the tickets cover
The discounted tickets are tied to sessions during the Aug. 30 to Sept. 8 window, giving New Yorkers a chance to attend the US Open at a lower price than many would expect for a marquee event. The key detail is simple: supply is limited, the price is fixed, and the sale is reserved for local residents.
For New York City, the announcement also fits with the message behind the Bronx court renovations. The courts in Crotona Park East were reopened on Wednesday as part of an attempt to strengthen access to tennis beyond the biggest venues and the most visible stages.
For fans, though, the headline remains the same: 1,000 discounted Us Open Nyc Tickets, available to New Yorkers, for sessions across the final stretch of August and the opening days of September.
