2026 US Open developments

Overview

The US Open 2026 in New York is drawing heightened attention as the tournament nears. On August 2, the USTA warned that resale platforms were listing tickets for a Roger Federer exhibition and for main‑event sessions at prices far above official rates, with some seats reaching €12,000 and final‑match tickets approaching €20,000. Two days later, on August 4, the USTA announced a record total prize pool of $96 million – a 20 % increase – making the singles champion’s payout $5 million, the highest in Grand Slam history. The announcements highlight both the financial stakes for players and the soaring demand and secondary‑market prices for spectators as the event approaches.
