You can watch a US Open semifinal match for about the price of the Honey Deuce.
The get-in price for Session 24 of the US Open—the semifinal match at 2 p.m. ET between Alexander Zverev and Karen Khachanov—dropped as low as $28, down from about $300 at the start of the main draw two weeks ago, according to TicketData. It’s a 91% dip compared to just three days ago.
The price dip is likely due to the lack of star power between the two players, even though Zverev is the tournament’s No. 1 seed.
TicketData listed its final pre-match average as $40 two hours before the match; pairs of tickets were available on resale sites for $33 shortly after.
The night session match between Americans Frances Tiafoe and Ben Shelton still has a $300 get-in price. It has dipped by 27% over the last three days—ticket prices often drop on the day of the event—but it’s still above the tournament average of $296 at the start of the main draw on Aug. 30.
Tickets for the women’s final match on Saturday have also dropped in the last day. The get-in price was about $361 before Thursday’s semifinals matches to $290 as of Friday morning. The two U.S. hopefuls, Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula, both lost their semifinals match Thursday.
Still, the drop-off doesn’t compare to the Zverev–Khachanov match. The finals will feature Aryna Sabalenka, who is looking to become just the third woman ever to win three consecutive US Open titles, against Elena Rybakina, who will take Sabalenka’s spot as world No. 1 on Monday, regardless of Saturday’s outcome.
The get-in price for the men’s final is currently $430, down 22% over the last three days. However, it’s unlikely the match will have as drastic of a dip as Friday’s men’s semifinal given one of Tiafoe or Shelton will be in the match, giving the U.S. a shot at a men’s Grand Slam winner for the first time since 2003.
