All tickets for Juniors (under 16 as of the first day of the championship) are free of charge. However, all juniors must have a valid course admission ticket in order to attend The Open. Tickets will not be available on the day and must be included with your ballot application.

The only official sources for tickets to The Open is via TheOpen.com or our Authorised Ticketing Providers. Any tickets made available on websites such as Viagogo, Safetickets.net, Stubhub, eBay and Gumtree are not done so with the permission of The R&A and are subject to unregulated pricing. We have also encountered issues in the past in which photoshopped tickets or cancelled tickets were sold via these platforms. We strongly recommend that customers do not purchase tickets from 3rd party re-sellers as tickets sold on these sites are likely to be refused entry to the Championship. If you have already purchased tickets from a secondary ticketing platform, please contact us at Tickets@TheOpen.com and we will do our best to assist you.

You can contact our Hospitality team via Hospitality@TheOpen.com and our team will assist you in doing this, subject to availability.

Yes. There is a maximum number of fans who can attend The Open on each day. This number changes at each venue, due to a variety of factors such as space around the golf course, health & safety, transport / travel networks, availability of accommodation and other factors that would impact the overall spectator experience.

As with previous Open Championships, there will be thousands of unreserved grandstand seats around the course that are free of charge, and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. It will not be possible for ticket holders to pay to reserve a grandstand seat at The 151st Open. However, some of The Open’s official hospitality experiences include a reserved grandstand seat – for information about these products, please email Hospitality@TheOpen.com.

The only ways for fans to be guaranteed entry to The 151st Open is to 1) purchase tickets via The Open Ticket Ballot, 2) purchase The Open’s Official Hospitality Experiences, or 3) purchase a ticket or hospitality inclusive package from The Open’s Official Authorised Ticketing and Hospitality Providers. Should any tickets be available once the Ticket Ballot has been completed, they will be offered for sale via TheOpen.com to members of The One Club. The Open’s official Ticket Resale Platform, where fans can safely buy and sell any unwanted tickets from each other at face value prices, will also be launched in due course.

Should any tickets be available once the Ticket Ballot has been completed, they will be offered for sale via TheOpen.com to members of The One Club.

Successful applicants will not be able to pick and choose which tickets they would like to purchase. You will either have to purchase all tickets in your allocation or none of them. If you choose not to purchase any tickets, your application will be cancelled and you will not be offered further tickets.

Tickets for The Open are in high demand and the Ticket Ballot has been performed to try and make the process as fair as possible for all spectators. This unfortunately means that we will not be able to make any changes to ticket allocations after the ballot application process has concluded. Under 16 ‘Kids Go Free’ tickets had to be included as part of the ballot application process and all spectators must hold a ticket to the event in order to attend.

If you have been successful in the Ticket Ballot, you will be given a timeframe in which to pay for your tickets. If you choose not to pay for your tickets before the deadline, your application will be cancelled, and the tickets will be offered to other fans. You do not need to notify us if you no longer wish to attend.

Refunds are available within 48 hours of purchase only. The Open’s official Ticket Resale Platform will be launched in due course. The Resale Platform will be available for any sold-out days and will allow fans to sell their tickets, for face value, in an official, safe, secure and trusted environment. This ensures fans have an option to re-sell their tickets, if required, and will be able to do so safely and in the knowledge that their tickets are going to genuine fans of The Open. Selling your tickets via any other means (for example on websites such as Viagogo, eBay, Stubhub, Gumtree) will result in those tickets being cancelled and entry refused at the gates.

Parking will be available on TheOpen.com at a later date. Ticket holders will be emailed with a link to do this in late 2022 or early 2023.

If you require accessible parking, please contact us at Tickets@TheOpen.com when you are notified that parking is available (this is expected to be late 2022 or early 2023).
