Influencers Banned From US Open Over Social Media Post

Influencers Meg Radice and Audrey Jongens have been barred from the U.S. Open after posting images of their event credentials online. The pair, who manage The VIP List Instagram account, had collaborated with a restaurant at the tournament. They had been looking forward to documenting their experience, having attended the Open for the past three years.

Their excitement turned to dismay when, just two hours after arriving, their credentials were confiscated. Radice and Jongens expressed surprise, stating they were unaware that sharing such information violated tournament rules. They were eager to share their experience with their followers and had planned to attend the event for its entire two-week duration.

Now, the influencers are appealing for a chance to return, even offering to attend with strangers if it means regaining access. They hope their story will prompt the U.S. Open to reinstate their credentials, emphasizing they seek no apology, only a return to the tournament they consider their favorite sporting event.
