DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (August 24, 2023) – As tennis fans gear up for the US Open starting Monday, individual session tickets for the Delray Beach Open go on sale today where fans can see many of the same players. The ATP 250 tournament will take place Feb. 9-18 at the Delray Beach Stadium & Tennis Center. Series tickets for the 2024 event went on sale in June.
Fans can expect an elevated experience at this year’s tournament. An additional 21,000 square feet of hospitality space will allow for more seating in off-court areas, more VIP events and more food options including healthy snacks and meals. In addition to the popular Ladies Day Luncheons; Game, Set, Pour; and Tacos, Tequila and Tennis events that sell out every year, the tournament is set to add the new Burgers, Bourbon and Brew and the Championship Weekend Brunches to the list of on-site special events.
Reigning Delray Beach Open champion Taylor Fritz will be the US Open’s ninth seed. Other seeded players at the US Open include Delray Beach Open past champions Frances Tiafoe, Hubert Hurkacz and Cameron Norrie as well as finalists Dan Evans and Sebastian Korda. Palm Beach County resident and DBO fan favorite Tommy Paul is seeded 14th.
After winning the 2023 Delray Beach Open, Fritz moved up to No. 5 in the world. He has since reached an ATP Masters 1000 semifinal and three quarterfinals, and won another title. Tiafoe, who won his first title in Delray Beach in 2018, has won two tournaments this year and made his debut in the world’s Top 10. He and Fritz are the first two American men in the top 10 at the same time since 2012, when former DBO champ Mardy Fish and John Isner accomplished the feat. Tiafoe will be the US Open 10th seed.
After winning the 2022 DBO, Norrie went on to reach the semifinals at Wimbledon, crack the Top 10 and win a clay court tournament in Rio de Janeiro over then-world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz. Norrie will be the US Open 16th seed.
The 10-day Delray Beach Open combined event will begin with an ATP Champions Tour event opening weekend Feb. 9-11 featuring a field of the game’s legends. Singles and doubles main draw action for the ATP 250 event starts Monday, Feb. 12 and concludes with the finals on Sunday, Feb. 18.
While Veranda series tickets have already sold out, a variety of other series packages are still available including on-court “Best Seats in the House” (limited quantity), courtside box seats and reserved seats. Weeklong series packages start at $750 and include parking and exclusive amenities, making them one of the best deals around. Tickets can be shared with clients and family throughout the week.
To make it easier for fans who want to become weeklong series ticket holders, packages can be secured for a $100 deposit.
The Delray Beach Open has been both a launching pad for stardom and a place for the game’s elite to raise the trophy. In addition to Fritz, Tiafoe, Norrie and Fish, past Delray Beach champions include former US Open winners Marin Cilic and Juan Martin del Potro, Grand Slam finalists Kei Nishikori and Kevin Anderson, top 10 player Hubert Hurkacz and American Sam Querrey.
