Without stars, tickets for US Open semi-finals drop drastically

SAPO Notícias11 September 2026 at 23:49

Tickets for the US Open semi-finals have experienced a drastic drop in prices, indicating lower demand from the public. The reduction in values reflects the lack of interest from spectators in the lineup of players who reached the semi-finals of the tournament.

The lineup of semifinalists is failing to attract the usual tournament audience. Absences of big names in world tennis have contributed to this situation, resulting in lower ticket demand.

This phenomenon represents a significant contrast with previous editions of the US Open, where the presence of top players guaranteed high demand and higher prices for the more advanced stages of the competition.

The situation raises questions about the tournament's economic impact and the dependence on big sports names to ensure the profitability and popularity of tennis events.

Why this matters

This situation directly affects tennis fans who wish to attend the semi-finals, as they may find more affordable tickets, but it also reflects the importance of sports stars in the economy of sporting events. The price drop follows the trend of reduced attractiveness of the tournament when world-renowned players are eliminated early.
