US Open Tickets
Holding session tickets in Flushing you can't use? Send them forward to a young fan's first Grand Slam.
Every late summer, the US Open turns Flushing Meadows into the center of the tennis world — Arthur Ashe under the lights, day sessions that stretch into the evening, and tickets that are notoriously hard to give away once your plans shift. If you're holding session tickets you won't use, Seat Forward turns them into something lasting: a first Grand Slam for a young person, veteran, or family who would never otherwise be courtside. It's tax-deductible, the transfer is quick, and your empty seat becomes someone's unforgettable day.

Questions
Good to Know
I have tickets for a specific session I can no longer attend. Can I donate just those?
Absolutely — donate any session you can't use, whether it's a single day-session grounds pass or premium Arthur Ashe night seats. Tell us which session in the form and we'll handle placement from there.
My US Open tickets are through Ticketmaster. How does transfer work?
After you submit, we email simple instructions for transferring through Ticketmaster to our program account. Most donors complete it in under five minutes, and you'll keep a record of the transfer for your files.
Is my US Open ticket donation tax-deductible?
Yes. The Legacy Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 20-4557510). You determine the fair market value — typically your ticket's face value — and we'll send an acknowledgment letter for your records.
