News and notes from the U.S. Open

Good idea, but…

August
30

Today would be a great time to exchange those tickets from yesterday — 1/2 of the women’s draw, and 2/3 of the men’s draw have to complete their first-round matches today, which means top seeds are playing all around the grounds.

But — and it’s a big but — everyone appears to be thinking that exact same thing. The line to exchange tickets goes from the USTA Box Office, all the way over the pedestrian ramp that connects Corona Park to the Shea Stadium No. 7 subway ramp. The wait must be hours.

It still might be a good idea to exchange your tickets today (the other options are tomorrow, Friday, Sept. 5-7 or wait until next year), but just be prepared.
