From a s/reddit. The poster is 100% correct.

USO prices this year are outrageous & scalpers have complete control of the event
Discussion

I’ve attended the USO 10+ times. Unfortunately, this tournament‘s fan experience has gone downhill.

Sheeesh. $152 (before fees) grounds pass. $230 before fees for nosebleeds in Ashe. $350+ for any worthwhile seats in Ashe that provide an experience you can actually watch the tennis.

All lower bowl for Armstrong are already sold out it seems? 70% of the tickets are marked for resale already. The scalpers have won at this event and it’s not a good look. It appears the USO is selling tickets on the upper level of Armstrong that previously were GA seats too - for $230 (before fees).

Kind of shocking how downhill the fan experience has gone with this tournament. I miss the days of the old Armstrong and grandstand. Constant packed matches on these courts where anybody with a groundspass could get a good spot. The fan experience at the USO is so lousy compared to what it used to be.

Of all the slams, the one I want to go the least.
And after that post, even less.

It's disgusting what the USTA has done to what was a great fan opportunity by monetizing Qualfying. It was a great time to wander the grounds, see the up and comers, and visit the practice courts to see top ten and 20 players.

I used to go when you had to bring your own food since the vendors weren't open. Then they figured out that people would pay to eat and the vendors could get a handle on what sold and what didn't. Even the merchandizers got a chance to sell their shirts.

Ticketmaster is being sued for price fixing. It doesn't only happen with Taylor Swift.

I suppose I'll go if by some chance I know someone with a box I can get into.......
First week night sessions used to be a fun, fairly inexpensive thing to do after work.

Those were the days Owen. Those were the days.

So I guess the Saudi investment isnt't going to trickle down to the fans in the form of reasonable prices?

It's so massively packed that unless you have a seat on Louis or Grandstand for the session or can park on one court (or 4, 5 and 6, where you can see al three), then it can be miserable. Especially if it's hot. On TV last year, the crowds the first week to weekend, cant' remember, looked like a human slide puzzle.

It's so sad the tournament has gotten so expensive. How much is qualifying now? Tennis was getting a foothold with growing popularity, and thie just pushes those people away.

I'm worried the same thing will happen to Cincinnati once Ben Navarro is done with it and more improvements are made. Sometimes you can't even buy a grounds pass - you have to buy the cheapest reserved seat and use it as a grounds pass. If the two stadiums with reserved seating don't sell out, they don't sell a grounds pass. It's still less than $100 for one of those seats early and mid week, but you should be able to go early for $25 or so with a grounds pass. Otherwise families can't afford it.

Is it this hard to get ticktes for Indian Wells? These stories are definitely off-putting. I won't pay hundreds of dollars to attend a tennis tournanment.

For some reason both the ATP site and the WTA site are not posting the Mixed Doubles and Juniors draws. I could be wrong but this is the first time I've seen them not post them. They're also not showing which matches were suspended. Maybe Megan has heard something about the why of this?

I haven't heard anything. I usually et this kind of news from you. I think you mean RG, though? And the XD and Juniors draws are on the RG website.

Is it possible because this tournament doesn't happen for another 3 months? I'm assuming you're talking about the French Open, but I can't say that I generally check the tour sites during the Grand Slams.

UGH

Yes this is about the French Open. The US Open is busy pricing out regular folks.
