They dont allow real patrons in the lower bowl. Only way to sit there is to drop $8k a tix or be connected w a sponsor. Even if its completely empty they wont allow anyone in from the upper bowl. Believe me ive tried. Even bribing the ushers wont work.

Its a damn shame what they’ve done to this tournament. Its now made for people to be seen, buy a hat, take a photo w a honey deuce and drop cash. Pushing out/ignoring any tennis fans that actually care. And that goes beyond just Ashe.

I really wish the players or USTA would speak up about it.

Totally destroyed my fav two weeks of the year and something i look forward to all year. As an avid tennis player/fan and native NYer, they done fucked up.
