VIP Experience: How Limousine Services are Elevating the US Open Journey with Exclusive Discounts

New York’s energy is unparalleled, and we aim to blend that energy with a touch of luxury for tennis fans.”

— Sammy Jemal, Owner of Riga Global Travel & Limousine Service

NEW YORK, NY, USA, August 22, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — The much-anticipated US Open Tennis Championships returns from August 28 to September 10, 2023, at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Tennis enthusiasts worldwide are not just gearing up for the matches but also for a heightened spectator experience. This year brings together thrilling match schedules, streamlined ticket procurement, and the added luxury of Riga Global Travel’s limousine services, complete with a special discount for the event’s duration.

The hallowed grounds of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center eagerly await the tennis marvels and their passionate fans. Historically, the US Open has been a unifying global sports fest. The 2022 edition saw over 700,000 attendees, and with the world gradually emerging from the pandemic, the 2023 numbers are expected to soar even higher.

Michael Dowse, USTA CEO, expressed, “The US Open symbolizes international camaraderie and supreme sportsmanship. With the 2023 Championships, fans will experience enriched amenities, especially in transportation, making it a complete and memorable event.”

Adding a layer of luxury to this year’s event is the collaboration with Riga Global Travel & Limousine Service.

And here’s the cherry on top: For the duration of the US Open, Riga Global Travel & Limousine Service is offering a special 10% discount on their limousine services. Fans just need to mention the discount code USOPEN2023 when booking.

The buzzing Labor Day Weekend from September 2-3 stands out as a highlight, guaranteeing tickets for gripping early-round matches. An exclusive Labor Day Weekend Package further sweetens the deal with added perks.

But the climax, the Finals weekend from September 9-10, is where adrenaline levels will peak. The much-talked-about Promenade Tickets are in demand, ensuring fans a phenomenal viewing experience without an exorbitant price tag.

Key numbers for enthusiasts:

The venue, the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, spans a massive 46.5 acres.
128 ace male and female players will vie for tennis supremacy.
After 2022’s prize money crossed $57 million, 2023 is abuzz with the possibility of an even higher purse.
Sammy Jemal, Owner of Riga Global Travel & Limousine Services, highlighted, “Our partnership with the US Open Tennis Championships transcends mere business. It’s an endeavor to amplify the entire experience – from the journey to the very last match.”

Several world-famous acts will be stopping by Denmark’s capital city next year.

It’s possible Taylor Swift could add more dates, including Copenhagen…there are some gaps in her European calendar. But she’s performed a ton of shows, and I think they’ll use those gap days for rest.”

— Ryan Forney, EuropeTripDeals.com

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK, August 22, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Denmark, one of the world’s happiest cities, has another reason to celebrate. Several big-name musical acts have booked dates to perform in the city next year, and tickets will be in high demand. And that’s on top of an impressive lineup of Madonna, Diana Ross, 50 Cent, and New Order, still due to perform in late 2023.

The biggest concerts in Copenhagen in 2024 (as of now):
Depeche Mode – Royal Arena, February 10, 2024
Niall Horan – Royal Arena, March 12, 2024
John Mayer – Royal Arena, March 16, 2024
Jonas Brothers – Royal Arena, May 20, 2024
Metallica – Parken, June 14-16, 2024

Unfortunately, two of Europe’s most popular concert tours probably won’t be coming to Copenhagen. The city isn’t scheduled for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour or Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour. Ryan Forney of EuropeTripDeals.com notes: “It’s possible Taylor Swift could add more dates, including Copenhagen…there are some gaps in her European calendar. But she’s performed a ton of shows, and I think they’ll use those gap days for rest. As for Coldplay, they likely won’t stop in Copenhagen as they just performed there in 2023.”

Is the 2024 concert schedule complete? “Most likely not,” says Forney. “More acts usually announce tours over the winter. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a few more big-name performances announced for Copenhagen by spring or summer next year.” Stay tuned.

Rock the Shorts Film Festival, a festival committed to showcasing short films, will be live on the Rooftop of The Montalbán Theatre on September 4, 2023!

We love short films. Shorts can pack an emotional punch and take us on a wonderful ride in 40 minutes or less.”

— Co-Founder of Rock the Shorts Roxanne Marciniak

HOLLYWOOD, CA, USA, August 21, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Rock the Shorts Film Festival, celebrating short films across animation, documentary, drama, comedy, thriller/horror and international categories will be live on the Rooftop of The Montalbán Theatre in Hollywood this Labor Day, September 4, 2023! Filmmakers and their short films will be celebrated from 5:30-11PM. Two-time Oscar-nominated Editor Dylan Tichenor and Content Acquisitions Executive ShortsTV International (the first and leading worldwide network dedicated to short films) Florentina Almonte are Jurors this year. Tichenor and Almonte will cast their vote for Best of Fest to be announced at the close of the evening.

Now in its fourth year, the founders of Rock the Shorts, Roxanne Marciniak and Josef Csongei, are huge fans of short films. The festival showcases short films while recognizing that many actors, directors, and writers have launched careers from this medium. “We feel the creators of such entertainment deserve recognition and encouragement, said Co-Founder/Festival Director Roxanne Marciniak. All of the filmmakers should feel like Rock Stars at our film festival. They all deserve it. There is so much talent out there. This year we have films from Emmy-winning and nominated professionals. We will be screening “His, Ours, A” written and directed by Nate Hapke who has won four Emmys for Directing ABC’s “General Hospital.” We will also premiere “Shatter the Glass” directed by Patrick Hogan who has received eight Emmy nominations in Sound Editing for “Six Feet Under,” “Family Guy” and Netflix hits “Cobra Kai” and “Umbrella Academy.” We would also like to highlight “The Wrong Guy” directed by Meisha Lee who is a professional choreographer. When we saw David “Kid David” Shreibman dancing in the film, we had to look him up. We were impressed to see more of his incredible dance moves and 156K followers on instagram. As I said before, there is so much talent out there and if we can shine a light on it–we will.”

“And we will quite literally be shining light on this year’s talent on the Rooftop of the Montalbán Theatre. The historic theatre, and its outdoor space with a view, has the cool factor we wanted to kick off our fourth year,” said Co-Founder Josef Csongei.

Montalbán History
The Montalbán, Hollywood’s classic theatre reborn for a new era of screened entertainment and performing arts, is one of the few remaining mid-sized and fully equipped proscenium venues in Los Angeles. It features orchestra, mezzanine, loge, and balcony seating, and is known for its excellent sight-lines and acoustics. The Ricardo Montalbán Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, bought the building in 1999. Humanitarian and Emmy Award-winning actor Ricardo Montalbán’s vision was to create a presence in Hollywood that provided inspiration and employment for young Latinos, as well as other underrepresented people throughout the community.

36% of Japan’s 14 million youth 18 years and under are gamers

There is an opportunity for non-Japanese gaming companies to expand and increase their presence in Japan, as the country’s youth gamers is a potential market on its own”

— Lisa Hanson

SILICON VALLEY, CA, USA, August 21, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Niko Partners, the world’s leading market research firm covering video games and esports in Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa, today announced the results of its latest findings on Japan’s youth gamers. Insights from the research show that 46% of Japanese gamers aged 16-18 and 67% of parents of Japanese youth aged 6-18 believe that it is parents who should be in charge of supervising children’s gaming time, not government. As gaming is considered a national pastime in the country, where gaming has a rich history, most Japanese parents in our survey have a favorable view towards gaming.

“Our report looks closely at the gaming behavior of Japan’s youth and the parental opinions about playing all types of video games,” said Lisa Hanson, CEO and founder of Niko Partners. “We found that foreign game titles, esports, and game livestreaming are much more popular among Japan youth than among older gamers, who historically have gravitated to domestic IP. There is an opportunity for non-Japanese gaming companies to expand and increase their presence in Japan, as the country’s youth gamers is a potential market on its own.”

Key takeaways from this report include:
• Most youth gamers play on console (72%) followed by mobile (64%) and then PC (15%). Parents favor consoles due to increased visibility and control over gaming content compared to other platforms.

• Youth gamers play an average of 8 hours per week on mobile, compared to 6.5 hours on PC and console.

• Japanese youth are more receptive than adult gamers to foreign game titles, esports, game livestreaming, and VTubers. Nearly 46% of Japanese youth are drawn into esports and competitive games, compared to 12% of overall Japanese gamers.

• Premium games still play a large role in Japan, primarily due to the popularity of consoles, and are the most popular individual purchase made by youth gamers.

• Parents of Japanese youth are generally accepting of video games as a means of entertainment and are more likely to be gamers themselves.

• The majority of both parents and youth in general believe that control over children’s game time should be managed by each family, rather than by the government or game companies, with 70% of parents and 46% of youth agreeing with this.

Niko Partners surveyed more than 300 parents of youth gamers aged 6-18 and more than 90 gamers aged 16-18 for this report. We also conducted interviews with parents, teachers, and industry experts while complementing our research and analysis with publicly disclosed data of related institutions and insights from other Niko’s reports and services. The Japan Youth Gamers Report offers recommendations for companies looking to tap into the Japan youth gamers market. Contact us for more information on our methodology for our ongoing market intelligence services and reports.
