The on-court session is the detail that defines this package. Most tennis hospitality experiences, at the US Open and elsewhere, offer some form of legend interaction — a signing, an appearance, a brief Q&A. The On Court Experience is structured differently: a private group lesson with tennis legends on the Arthur Ashe Stadium court, limited to ten participants, before tournament play begins. The stadium is empty, the court is tournament-prepared, and the scale of the bowl — 23,771 capacity, the largest tennis stadium in the world — is experienced from the surface rather than from the seats. That particular perspective is not available at any price through a standard ticket.

The lesson format is a private clinic rather than a passive appearance. The specific legends involved vary by session date and are confirmed through the enquiry process; the USTA does not publish names in advance on the hospitality pages. What is confirmed is the format: ten participants maximum, on the Ashe court, with instruction from former tour professionals. For a group of serious recreational players or for guests who grew up watching the names in question, that combination of intimacy and setting is difficult to replicate anywhere in the sport.

After the on-court session, the day transitions to ten courtside bowl seats in the newly expanded 2026 section. The seats are among the closest to the playing surface available to hospitality guests, with the same front-row baseline sightlines as the Courtside Signature allocation. The Overlook+ is available throughout the session with its full all-inclusive bar: beer, wine, spirits, specialty cocktails, and passed-drinks service during cocktail hour.

Arrival is by private car service — a chauffeur-driven transfer to the grounds, timed to the pre-match clinic schedule rather than to the general public session times. The package is currently confirmed for August 30, the opening day of the 2026 tournament, when the on-court availability before play begins is most practical. Additional session dates may be available on enquiry.
