Tickets for the U.S. Open Tennis Championships will go on sale to the general public on June 1. However, American Express cardholders have the opportunity to purchase tickets early, starting on May 28.
The U.S. Open Tennis Championships, held annually in New York City, are considered the crown jewel of the American tennis scene and the fourth and final Grand Slam tournament of the year. In 2024, the event is scheduled to take place from August 26 to September 8.
Typically, American Express and Chase offer credit cardholders certain perks during the tournament, including access to members-only lounges and suites. This year, one of those perks includes the chance to snag a seat before the general public can.
