Im looking to get two tickets for multiple days(2-3) at a tennis event next year. What event do you recommend and which days? Also, seat location recommendations? I’d like to keep it around $100 for each ticket each day. Thank you!
ATP finals or Vienna imo
Where are you located? That will help answer the question.
In terms of days to attend:
*With weeklong tournaments, IMO the best day to attend is Thursday (round of 16); Friday (quarterfinals) and Wednesday (end of 1st round) are also good.
*With 1 1/2 or 2 week long tournaments, IMO the best days to attend during the 3rd round, with the 2nd round ranking second. At Grand Slams, the 3rd round is the first Friday and Saturday, while the 2nd round is the first Wednesday and Thursday. At Masters tournaments, the 3rd round is the (first) Sunday and Monday, and the 2nd round is the first Friday and Saturday.
In terms of seat locations:
*Getting a baseline or corner seat, preferably in the shade (if possible), is the best location. For large tournaments that have different types of ticket options, getting a reserved ticket in the largest stadium, which also functions as a grounds pass for all/most other courts, is usually the best bet and provides the most flexibility.
In terms of tournaments themselves (independent of location):
*Combined men’s/women’s tournaments are the best IMO; you get more bang for your buck. If you can’t do one of those tournaments, aim for a men’s or women’s Masters 1000 event where you can see all/most of the top players.
East coast USA/ mid Atlantic. Willing to travel. Thank you very much for the detailed response! My wife and I got into tennis this year. This will be our first event.
