It’s tennis for ballers.
High-rollers in the city for the US Open are dishing out small fortunes at luxury hotels and coughing up thousands on tournament-themed packages — with wild amenities like chauffeurs, private penthouse tennis courts and crystal-netted ping pong tables.

Tickets for one event - Sep 2
Arthur Ashe Stadium 11:30am
$26 to $23,000. Fees included.
Goes without saying they aren’t real fans of the sport. Just the crazy rich who are looking for another diversion.
How Commie Madmani lives.
The last time I checked, it was the cheapest of the Grand Slam events.
Final day $344 to $50,000. Cheap!
All that and that billionaire douche still had to swipe the hat from the kid.
“ they want to be fully immersed in the energy and culture that surround the tournament,” = booze, hookers.
$38.00 sandwiches? Are they eating at Burger King in LA?
Crazy. You would have to pay me to go. Always interesting dynamic when it comes to what people want to spend their money on.
Probably all bloviating liberals.
