Ticket prices surge ahead of US Open amid injury concerns for stars

As the US Open approaches later this month, ticket prices have soared significantly, increasing from an average of $256 to $322—an uptick of 26 percent from last year. This rise occurs amid uncertainty regarding the participation of top players Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, both dealing with injuries that may affect their availability for the tournament. With less than two weeks until the event, speculation surrounds whether the absence of these marquee names will impact ticket sales. Fans are eagerly anticipating the tournament despite the rising costs.
