Q. What is Mobile Entry Ticketing?

Mobile Entry means your US Open ticket is accessed on your phone. That means that you won't need to print and remember to bring tickets to get into the grounds - no more worries about leaving your ticket at home or the office. Mobile tickets enable you to manage, view, scan, transfer and sell your tickets with the device that's always with you. Your phone is always in your pocket, your purse or your hand, and doesn't require a printer or remembering to grab your tickets before you go.

Q. What is the address of the venue?

Flushing Meadow - Corona Park

Q. Will the tickets I order be together?

Yes. All ticket order of two tickets will be together. For orders of 3 or more tickets we do our best to get all the tickets together, but it's not guaranteed. We will make sure to have at least all the tickets as pairs.

Q. When tickets are listed as a "General" ticket for a particular level, what does that mean?

When a ticket is listed as a "General" ticket, such as Promenade General, this simply means that your tickets are guaranteed to be located in a section within that given level. Even though it's listed as "General", all tickets are reserved. You will only know the actual seats (section, row, and seat number) once the tickets are delivered.

Q. What is the minimum age for a child to require a ticket?

Children 24 months and older require a full-price ticket.

Q. What does it mean when the ticket listing on our site (tennistours.com) says it is a "General" ticket, for example, "Promenade - General", "Loge G-N - General", or "Courtside - General"?

It means that the ticket will be located anywhere in the selected level. So if the listing was for a "Promenade - General" ticket, the ticket will be located in any one of the Promenade level sections. It will still be a reserved ticket, but we just don't know exactly which section, row and seat number(s) it will be until the ticket is allocated.

Q. What if I lose connectivity / can't connect to my account at the gates?

Since cellular connectivity may experience peaks at the US Open, we encourage you to download your tickets to your mobile device before heading to the US Open. If you have an iPhone, you can store your tickets in your Apple Wallet. If your tickets are on a mobile web browser, avoid clearing out your browser history until after the event.
