The Economics of Tennis Tournament Parking: A 2025 Industry Study

By Premium Parking Research Team

Executive Summary

This report analyzes parking operations data from 22 professional tennis tournaments held in 2024 and early 2025, representing more than 4.1 million individual parking transactions. Key findings include: average net revenue per parking space per event day of $34.20 (up 9 % year-over-year), fan satisfaction with parking at 7.8/10 at tech-enabled venues versus 5.9/10 at non-tech venues, and post-match egress times 31 % faster at venues with LPR-enabled exit lanes.

Revenue Benchmarks

Parking revenue at the surveyed events ranged from $2.1 million (smaller 250-level ATP events) to $18.7 million (Masters 1000 events with multiple session days). The median event generated $6.4 million in gross parking revenue, of which operating costs consumed approximately 34 %, yielding a median net margin of 66 %.

The Technology Premium

Venues that deployed real-time availability signage, mobile pre-booking, and LPR entry lanes earned a statistically significant premium of $4.10 per transaction compared to venues relying on cash and attendants. This premium held across all event tiers and geographies in the sample.
