The presale has started. For the finals session, I see prices between $64 USD (lower than last year, IIRC) and $812 (similar to last year, for courtside seats).

The code you entered is correct, but there are no more tickets available. That's wild

Oh wow, that is wild! It's a good sign! I know when I was on the last US Smash a lot of folks who were flying in from far far away said they came because this is one of the easiest "Smash series" tournaments to get into. I guess that might not be the case anymore

Sadly I won't be attending this one but will be watching the games for sure!

It is almost certainly a fake out. Create a false image of scarcity so people start rushing to buy.

Miwa/Hina overcame Kuai Man/Chen Yi at the SF of the Singapore Smash eventually taking the WD title. This time China swaps Chen Yi for WMY.

Ah for a second there I forgot that scarcity marketing is a thing Well I still hope the turn out is great!

I wonder if any of the players will go to either of the FIFA World Cup games in LA during the same time (on June 28 and July 2). The football venue is about a 1.5 hour drive from the tt venue in Ontario.

Given the outrages prices on tickets for world cup I don’t think a lot folks will be overcrowding the stadiums!

I just hope that I can snag a table tennis venue ticket for the Olympics (presuming I can go).

It looks like Japan got some wildcards: Maharu Yoshimura in MS, Hitomi Sato and Sakura Yokoi in WS. Lots of goodwill between USA and Japan. The Japanese have always been a welcome sight at our US Open year after year.

This post made me chuckle. Can't you tell the difference between WTT nominations and Host wildcards after several years of WTT? Goodwill is shown in doubles pairings like those between USA and CHN.

Remember how JPN treated WTT at first. That's goodwill from WTT.
