US Open Ticket Prices Surge 132% for Alex Eala’s Night Session
USTA's CEO acknowledged the tournament’s rising prices in a press conference Saturday.
NEW YORK — Ticket prices for the US Open’s night session on Tuesday, featuring rising tennis star Alex Eala, have skyrocketed by 132% to $385 as of Monday afternoon, according to TicketData. This surge marks a significant jump from the $385 price three days prior. The increase in ticket prices for this specific session is not part of the overall trend for the tournament, which has remained steady at an average of $284 per day.
Despite the higher prices, the grounds remain packed, with lines extending around the venue. The surge in ticket prices is attributed to Eala's popularity, driven by her recent WTA title win at the DC Open and notable victories over top-10 players. The USTA CEO acknowledged the rising resale ticket prices as a significant challenge during a recent press conference.
