JPMorgan Chase
Having spent 42 years at the US Open—and entering its 28th year presenting the women’s singles championship and its seventh year hosting the men’s singles title match—JPMorgan Chase doesn’t approach the event halfheartedly.
Its Chase Pass to the event gives customers exclusive access to the Chase Lounge and Chase Terrace—as well as one free drink at the IHG Lemon Bar at happy hour and chances to win seat upgrades and food-and-drink vouchers at the Chase South Plaza Booths, The Chase Lounge is no small perk, as the reservations-only space includes air-conditioning, free-snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, free hats, a private cash bar with free happy hour and live ESPN broadcasts.
The terrace is a bit more public, with a a first-come, first-served customer-exclusive hospitality area that has views of the courts, shade, soft seats, free snacks and non-alcoholic drinks, its own bar and a Little Words Project custom bracelet station.
For non-customers, Chase held a concert by Columbian superstar Sebastian Yatra, distributed more than 40,000 free mobile charging units and installed its “ATMs” giving out co-branded items, Chase Pass information, mobile chargers and immersive photo ops.
