When you go to the Us Open, I would advise that you take along an American Express card. They give card members extra privileges and gifts naturally by presenting the card at the Us Open event booths. Also with an Amex card, they will offer discounts on Us Open merchandise.
Free Gifts
Us Open 2010
Just show your American Express card at any Amex Event Booth (like at Legg Mason or Us Open) to get a free Us Open Radio. No purchases necessary! With it you can listen to live criticism by Espn and the Tennis channel.
Use this small ear radio to ensue the main court action even if you are on a side-court. You can listen in to get all the stats and criticism (even on side courts) while you are watching your match. This makes it much more consuming to ensue the action.
In 2006, they were also handing out free Metro passes by the thousands!
Every year there is a new deal or gadget so keep your eyes peeled and bring your Amex!
Hotel Deal
I prefer the American Express Spg card because with it you can get a great reduction on the Sheraton Laguardia hotel which is located just 1 metro stop away (less than 2 miles)!
Hint: you can use the 10,000 points to redeem a Free night at the Sheraton Laguadia hotel (which is just 1 metro stop from the Stadium).
This is a hotel that normally goes for 0-0 a night.
Or you can use the "Cash and Points" options (4000 points and per night) to get an even better deal!
I tried this a consolidate years ago and even got offered a free upgrade to a deluxe Suite! It is a great hotel that is walking distance from a lot of great Chinese restaurants in Flushing, Ny like the dim sum at East Buffet.
Transportation Tips:
I would avoid taking a car at all cost. Parking is naturally a pain and there are many distinct check points just to get to the lot.
My advice instead if you book the Sheraton hotel, is to just take the 7 train from "Flushing-Main St" to the "Mets-Willet Point" middle point - about a 5 min ride.
If you want to go to the city after the games at night - just take the same 7 train all the way to Times square in Manhattan (no transfers required, just each way!).
Tip: Put or more on your card and receive a 15 percent bonus. Great if you plan to go into the city at night.
If you do not have an American Express card yet, the Spg card offers 10,000 free points after your first purchase! Check out my site for details on how to get this deal and to read other tennis agreement tips!
