Tickets for all nine of the 2013 Emirates Airline US Open Series tennis events will be on sale March 5 at 10 a.m. US-ET through www.emiratesusopenseries.com.
This is the first time that Emirates Airline US Open Series events are coordinating their ticket sales.
The United States Tennis Association will support the initiative with a national marketing campaign, as well as a satellite media tour with American teenager Sloane Stephens, who is currently ranked No. 17 in the WTA Rankings.
"Coordinating this national ticket on sale campaign for the Emirates Airline US Open Series events is yet another way to unite the tournaments under the Series brand while also allowing tennis fans around the country access to tickets to all of the major summer hard court events leading up to the US Open," said J. Wayne Richmond, general manager of the Emirates Airline US Open Series.
Tickets will go on sale the day after Tennis Night in America on March 4 – featuring the BNP Paribas Showdown from New York’s Madison Square Garden and scheduled to include Serena Williams playing Victoria Azarenka in a rematch of the 2012 US Open Final, followed by Rafael Nadal against Juan Martin del Potro.
The initiative will also coincide with thousands of tennis festivals across the United States during the month of March, which are designed to welcome whole families to play tennis at all skill levels and to experience first-hand the way in which tennis is now sized right for children.
Now in its 10th season, the Emirates Airline US Open Series links nine hard court summer tournaments to the US Open.
The tournaments are: Stanford, Atlanta, Carlsbad, Washington, D.C., Toronto, Montreal, Cincinnati, New Haven and Winston-Salem.
