The US Open's Price Surge: A Barrier for Fans
By Editor • August 30, 2026 • 1 min read
This year’s US Open has sparked outrage over soaring ticket prices, attracting both billionaire Bill Ackman and Mayor Zohran Mamdani to voice their concerns. A grounds pass now costs an eye-watering $363, while the resale market inflates a $65 ticket to over five times its original price.
In response to public demand, Mamdani secured 1,000 tickets at $100 for local residents, drawing over 336,000 applicants.
