FAQs
Do I need a ticket to attend the US Open?
No ticket is required to enter East Naples Community Park and watch matches on 59 courts. Tickets are only needed for the Zing Zang Championship Court, where top pro finals are held.
What’s the best day to attend as a first-time spectator?
Friday and Saturday have the biggest pro matchups and peak crowds. Saturday April 18 is Championship Day — all gold, silver, and bronze medal pro matches. Go early, bring a chair, and expect long lines.
Can I bring food and drinks into the venue?
Coolers are allowed, but no glass bottles or outside alcohol. Food, beverages, and alcoholic drinks are all available for purchase on-site. Most vendors take cards and cash, but there is no ATM on site.
What should I wear and bring to stay comfortable?
Naples in April regularly hits the low-80s with strong UV. Water misters, hydration stations, shaded seating, and a first aid station are available throughout the grounds. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and a portable chair — bleachers fill up fast.
