is there a way to tell who may be playing on certain days? i assume not but thought i'd ask.. also, any difference between the stadiums listed?

Well hard to answer that. You can check the schedule the night before to know exactly who is playing. But by then, you dont know if there are tickets left. A way you may figure out earlier is that a player usually has a match every other day. It's not always accurate and there may be some rain coming so it may affect the schedule.
Differences in stadiums... different matches but you can go to all courts/stadium (any available seating except Arther Ashe where your seat is selected at purchase) with this deal.

It varies. The cheapest cost for a ticket is $45 + the fees mentioned.

Don't know what the situation is nowadays, however when I lived in NYC in the mid 90's I used to go to see the US Open action. Once I knew the day's schedule and liked the players, I would simply take the train and when I got there, ignored the scalpers or the people waiting in line to pay, and simply stayed on the bridge area, looking for people who got stuck with tickets. I managed to buy cheap tickets from someone each and every time, as they were desparate to sell them. Early rounds during day time are great, as you get to see your top players, and because the crowd is thin, you can sneak your way to the Corporate Seats right behind the photographers. I managed to see playeres like Sabatini, Graff and Jim Courier and have great shots of them and great memories. I also simply stayed in the Main Stadium once a match was over, and got to see several matches for under $20. Night matches are totally different since all the yuppies come and you are likely to get kicked out (though not always). Things may have changed since, but it is well worth checking out for yourself.

Great Post OP.

Thanks!

Thanks OP!
I picked up 4 tickets to the evening match on Sat(9/3). I would have loved Day Session but they were sold out for weekends. Still, for this date it's a great price. Total 71.55 with Email tickets (2.50 charge per order).

great deal...thnx a bunch for the code... got 4 for the Sat Evening session.

locate water fountain, get your seat. Have a good time.
I was at Arthur Ashe Kids Day on Saturday and I can tell you that the water from the fountains was not cold and not very tasty. I'd bring sealed plastic bottles instead.

BTW the US Open DOES allow you to bring in your own food, in small quantities. I had heard about the overpriced food, and it's true it is very expensive. But there is supposedly some stuff there that is worth trying, like the crepes ($8). Lobster Roll is $18. They also have sushi, etc ($8-12 as I recall). Of course, the only thing I bought was a $4 bottle of Snapple.

It's really amazing that they have this whole set of food stands and stores and they only get used two weeks a year. I guess they have to make all their money then!

Yeah I went there couple days ago. A 1L water cost me $4.75...

I second that. How far away is L.A. anyway? Isn't it something like 5,000 miles?

One of these days i'd combine a plane ticket deal with the us open ticket deal, along with some 5 star hotel deals and some broadway play deals. Then i'll go to the Big Apple and hole up for a few weeks. hehee..

forgot to thank the OP...thanks op!
