About National Tennis Center

National Tennis Center is officially the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, a massive tennis complex in Flushing, NY. It opened in 1978, was renamed in honor of Billie Jean King in 2006, and underwent a major multi-year renovation completed in 2018. The complex is owned by the City of New York through the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation and operated by the United States Tennis Association. Its address is One Flushing Meadows Corona Park Road, and its major courts include Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium, and the Grandstand.

The venue’s scale is a major part of its identity. Arthur Ashe Stadium seats about 23,771 and is the largest tennis stadium in the world, Louis Armstrong Stadium seats about 14,000, and the Grandstand seats about 8,125. Across the full complex, National Tennis Center can accommodate well over 40,000 visitors on site during the US Open, with three major show courts surrounded by numerous field courts.

National Tennis Center is best known as the home of the US Open Tennis Championships, one of the four Grand Slam tournaments. It has hosted decades of US Open finals and iconic matches featuring Serena Williams, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Billie Jean King, and many other champions. Arthur Ashe Stadium’s retractable roof allows play to continue in rain, while the rebuilt Louis Armstrong Stadium and the blue Laykold hard courts help define the venue’s modern Grand Slam setting.

Location & Transportation

National Tennis Center is located at One Flushing Meadows Corona Park Road, Flushing, NY 11368 — inside Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, adjacent to Citi Field and the Unisphere.

Transit: Transit is the most practical way to attend during the US Open. The 7 subway line stops at Mets–Willets Point, a short walk from the complex, and the LIRR also serves Mets–Willets Point, with special service used particularly during the tournament. For major sessions, taking the train helps avoid heavy road congestion around the park.

Driving and Parking: On-site and nearby parking is available in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park lots. Spaces fill early during the US Open, and parking prices rise sharply on tournament days. Driving into the area can involve heavy congestion, so arriving early is important if you plan to park.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are available, with designated rideshare zones used during the US Open. After major sessions, especially night sessions, expect significant congestion and longer waits.

Nearby Accommodation: Hotels are available in nearby Flushing and Long Island City, while Manhattan offers abundant lodging a short 7-train ride away. Hotels near LaGuardia Airport are also close to the complex.

Venue Navigation

National Tennis Center is a large multi-court complex, so understanding the grounds before arrival helps you move efficiently between gates, stadiums, and outer courts. During the US Open, the central grounds connect Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium, the Grandstand, and dozens of numbered field courts.

Entrances and Access: The main US Open entrances are the East Gate and South Gate, reached from the Mets–Willets Point transit station and surrounding park pathways. Gates feed into the central grounds, where fans can continue toward the major stadiums and field courts.

Seating Levels: Arthur Ashe Stadium is organized into Courtside/lower Promenade, Loge, luxury suite, and upper Promenade levels, with sections encircling the court. Louis Armstrong Stadium and the Grandstand each have their own bowl layouts, and the surrounding field courts are accessible on foot across the grounds.

Accessibility: Accessible seating, parking, restrooms, and guest services are provided throughout the complex, consistent with the venue’s modern renovation.

Getting to Your Section: Signage and staff assistance help direct fans during the US Open. Because the grounds are expansive and walking between courts is common, comfortable footwear makes the day easier.

How Much Do Tickets to National Tennis Center Cost?

National Tennis Center ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the players scheduled, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from early-round grounds admission to premium finals and marquee night sessions.

US Open grounds admission during early rounds can start as low as approximately $75–$150. These tickets are popular with fans who want to explore the grounds and watch action across the field courts.

US Open Arthur Ashe Stadium sessions in the upper levels during early rounds typically run about $100–$300. Prices can vary by session, round, and player schedule, with night sessions often drawing strong demand.

US Open premium sessions, finals, and marquee night sessions can range from about $400 to well over $1,000+. Courtside, lower-level, hospitality, and final-weekend inventory usually commands the highest prices.

Year-round public play and recreational court rentals at the complex are priced differently from event tickets, with modest hourly rates for recreational use.

For the US Open, buying earlier generally secures better seat selection and pricing, especially for popular night sessions and the final weekend. As inventory shrinks and the date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections can rise quickly.

National Tennis Center Seating Guide

National Tennis Center offers several different seating experiences, from reserved stadium seating in Arthur Ashe to livelier bowl settings in Louis Armstrong Stadium and the Grandstand. For the US Open, your experience can change significantly based on the stadium, level, session, and whether your ticket includes reserved seating or grounds access.

Best Seats at National Tennis Center

• Best value: Grounds admission and the upper Promenade level of Arthur Ashe Stadium are typically the most affordable options. Grounds tickets are especially appealing during early rounds, when fans can move among outer courts and catch multiple matches.
• Closest to the action: Courtside and lower Promenade seats in Arthur Ashe Stadium put fans near baseline level, while the front rows of the Grandstand place you extremely close to play.
• Best overall experience: Loge-level seats in Arthur Ashe Stadium offer a strong balance of proximity, sightline, and atmosphere. Louis Armstrong Stadium also delivers a close, lively setting, often at a lower price than Ashe.
• Premium and suite options: Luxury suites, courtside boxes, and premium hospitality clubs in Arthur Ashe Stadium serve premium buyers and groups with elevated service and a more private experience.
• For groups: Group packages are available for the US Open, and coordinating contiguous seats early is especially important for high-demand sessions.
• General admission: Grounds admission tickets provide access to outer courts and are offered during the early rounds of the US Open. Reserved stadium seating applies to Arthur Ashe Stadium.

National Tennis Center Seating Chart

The map lets you compare sections side by side, check row depth and distance from the court, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Getting Ready for Your National Tennis Center Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially across a large outdoor tennis complex during the US Open.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cell service can become congested during the US Open with large crowds on the grounds. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Arrive early via the 7 train or LIRR; parking and roadways around the park fill and congest well before major sessions.
• Wear the right footwear. Expect extensive walking across the grounds between courts, plus stairs within the stadiums, so supportive shoes are a smart choice.
• Dress in layers. Late-summer sessions can bring heat, sun, and occasional rain, and most grounds seating is open-air. Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong have roofs, but sun protection and a layer for cooler night sessions can make the day more comfortable.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. The 7 train and LIRR are strong options for reaching Mets–Willets Point, but large US Open crowds mean you should allow extra time before your session.
• Know your entrance. Your gate and ticketed stadium or court access help guide your route once you reach the grounds, and checking those details before arrival makes navigation easier.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
