Seating and Tickets
The Washington DC Stanford Association has the same box and upper level seats as in recent years. Matches are held in the stadium court and 4 outside courts. At the end of the week, there will be far fewer matches on the outside courts than earlier in the week. Seating on the outside courts is open-seating thus for these whether you have box or upper level ticket makes no difference. In 2023-2025, the tournament sold on several days early in the tournament a limited number of "grounds passes" for about $30 which provided access to the outside courts but not to the stadium court.
Seating on the upper level of the stadium court and on the outside courts is on benches whereas box seats are fixed seats with a back.
Our platinum box seats in Row 36 are in the 3rd and 4th row with three seats in each row. The seats face north. See the image at the bottom of this post. There are two coaches' box, one for each player, and one of them is close to our box on the right.
I set our prices with the goal of breaking even. Some years we have had a small profit and some years a small loss.
Instead of a single Wednesday and single Thursday session as in previous years, there will be an afternoon session beginning approximately at noon and an evening session beginning at 6pm with separate tickets for both sessions like has been the case for Friday and Saturday in recent years.
Matches on the opening weekend and the final Sunday will typically conclude in late afternoon. Matches the rest of the week often last late in the evening. The tournament announced in 2025 that to limit the late nights, a featured match for Monday-Thursday will be scheduled to begin at 6pm rather than 7pm as in previous years.
Our Ticket Availability (will be updated as requests come in)
T
Sunday, August 2- 12pm - $270 box (sold out), upper level $75 (sold out), each parking pass $65 (one left)
WDCSA Tickets to purchasers will be distributed via SeatGeek as was the case in 2022-2025. Once you get your tickets you can transmit them electronically to others in your group. For admittance to the tournament and the paved lot, you show your SeatGeek ticket on your phone. This system has worked well for our members.
Prior to the beginning of the tournament, we sell to Stanford people and their friends only. Please indicate your Stanford degree and year in your response. Once the tournament begins, we will sell remaining tickets on Seatgeek.
Parking and Shuttle
The tournament has posted parking, rideshare and shuttle information at
. To summarize, the shuttle will run from the Columbia Heights Metro station (Red and Green Line) and a parking garage nearby. The shuttle cost is $10 for a roundtrip. The rate for the grass lot is $50.
For each of the 13 sessions, we have 2 parking passes for the paved parking lot (lot A) which is south of the facility and is accessible is accessible from Colorado avenue, just west of 16th Street Street. The grass parking lot is accessible from 16th Street, just north of the facility. The grass lot is first-come, first-served and will fill up entirely on busy days and it will be closed on days when rain is likely in order to protect the turf.
Parking is limited to residents of the neighborhood within several blocks of the tournament during the entire week of the tournament. In 2023 and 2024, the extent of the restricted parking area was at least 2-3 blocks more in all directions than it had been in previous years.
