Mayor Mamdani secures affordable tickets for U.S. Open in NYC

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has arranged for 1,000 affordable tickets for the U.S. Open, set to run from August 30 to September 8, 2026. These $100 tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis for local residents, offering access to main-draw matches. Mamdani’s initiative aims to address the soaring ticket prices for major sporting events this summer, reiterating the belief that such events should be accessible to the public. USTA Chief Executive Craig Tiley supported the move, emphasizing a commitment to making tennis accessible, along with the U.S. Open's eight days of free grounds admission.
