Candi Gauff Closes Guest‑Ticket Window for Coco Gauff’s US Open Matches
She told family and friends on Instagram to buy their own seats, highlighting how limited player guest allocations have been exhausted at Flushing Meadows.
Overview
- Candi Gauff posted a blunt Instagram message saying she will not distribute any more complimentary tickets and advising people to arrange their own purchases.
- Her post said Coco’s guest requests have already been accounted for and that people should never ask for more than two tickets.
- Coco responded with lighthearted comments on social media and fellow player Jessica Pegula publicly backed Candi’s message.
- The move follows an intense surge in demand after Gauff’s hard-court run, which included a Cincinnati title and a National Bank Open semifinal, raising interest in her US Open matches.
- Grand Slam players receive only a limited number of guest passes, so exhausted allocations can leave family and friends unable to attend and shift more fans to the public ticket market.
