Mamdani's latest NYC sports stunt: $100 US Open Tickets

Zohran Mamdani has another offer for NYC sports fans. 1,000 lucky New Yorkers will now get $100 US Open tickets.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York City is introducing $100 tickets to the US Open, starting from August 26, 2023. The 1,000 tickets will be distributed to New Yorkers on a first-come, first-served basis. This offer aims to provide affordable access to one of the busiest and most expensive sports tournaments in America, which typically costs between $240 and nearly $500 on resale platforms.

The tickets will include access to main-draw matches at Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong Stadiums, as well as grounds passes. The mayor emphasized that the goal is to allow more New Yorkers to experience the grandeur of the US Open without breaking the bank.
