Serena Williams, LePub, Dolsten & Co. Put Old U.S. Open Tickets Back In Play Courtside
Heineken® is bringing a new approach to fan connection this summer. Whether it be music, movies or sport--only the biggest fans keep their old tickets as mementos. Now, Heineken is bringing 23-time Grand Slam champion and Heineken 0.0 Global Ambassador Serena Williams’ biggest fans together by re-activating her past tickets for this year’s U.S. Open. As an extension of Heineken’s “Fans Have More Friends” campaign and in partnership with the tennis icon, Second Serve Tickets revives tickets from any of Williams’ past U.S. Open tournaments for a chance to score a seat in the exclusive Heineken Suite at Arthur Ashe Stadium at the 2026 US Open.
