US Open loose chair seating

[nytennis-74]

Hi, I was at Arthur Ashe yesterday and in section 214 I saw loose chair seating (foldable chairs) behind the last row of the section. Of course, did not ask how to get those seats when I was there. Anybody know how to get those seats? As a tall guy it gets quite uncomfortable after one hour of being cramped.
Thanks

Getting Loose Chair Seating in Arthur Ashe Stadium Section 214​

At the US Open, loose chair seating (foldable chairs) is sometimes available in certain sections, including Section 214 in Arthur Ashe Stadium, typically behind the last row of the section tt.tennis-warehouse.com. These are not standard reserved seats and are usually first-come, first-served.

How to Get Them​

• Arrive early: The chairs are often placed in the last row of the section, so getting there early increases your chances of securing one.
• Check the section layout: Section 214 is a general admission courtside section. The loose chairs are usually in the very back, near the end of the row closest to the court.
• Ask at Guest Services: If you’re in Section 214 and see the loose chairs, approach the Guest Services desk or a stadium staff member. They can confirm availability and direct you to the right spot.
• Be ready to move: These seats are not reserved, so you may need to walk to the back of the section and find an available chair.

Tips for Comfort​

• Tall players: If you’re tall, the loose chairs can be more comfortable than the standard bench seats, especially after a few hours of sitting.
• Arrive before the first match: This gives you the best shot at getting a chair before the crowd fills the section.
• Have a plan: If you can’t get a chair, consider buying a reserved seat in a section with better views (e.g., Sections 60–67, 1–9, or 26–45) TickPick.

Official Resources​

• The US Open official seat maps show Arthur Ashe Stadium’s layout, including Section 214, so you can plan your route US Open Tennis Championships.
• The interactive seating chart on TicketIQ or TickPick can help you visualize the section and identify the last row where loose chairs are often placed TickPick+1.

Bottom line: For Section 214 loose chair seating, the best strategy is to arrive early, check the last row, and ask staff. If you can’t get one, consider a reserved seat in a section with better views.

I haven’t been in the partially “reimagined” Ashe yet this year but maybe I’ll check it out later today but it sounds like you are describing foldable seats available in the wheelchair sections. They are for ticket buyers accompanying ticket holders using wheelchairs. They are foldable so they can be used or not or moved around as needed to make more space for wheelchairs or seats for companions, as needed. So not available unless going with someone using a wheelchair. Both wheelchair and companion(s) need a ticket.

Dr Raul sponsored Pro Shopping Tip:

Sometimes ushers will use them. Sometimes random Joes will sit in them and at some point the usher will toss them and this game can go on for a while with different participants.
