Charity Ticket Request

The R&A welcomes requests from individuals and charities who wish to raise funds for good causes, and as such donates a set number of tickets to The Open each year which can be used as auction or raffle items for this purpose.

Unfortunately, due to the high number of charity ticket requests received each year The R&A cannot accommodate all requests. However, we look to support charities and individuals who raise funds which aid the development of golf, public services such as local schools or hospitals and local charities which are located within a 50-mile radius of the Open venue. We therefore require charities and individuals to submit the below form for charity ticket requests to be considered.

Please note:

1. If your request is accepted, The R&A will contact you by email to confirm within 6 weeks of receiving the request. Requests should therefore be made at least 7 weeks prior to the fundraising event date, and to be submitted no later than Monday 31 May 2027.

2. Tickets cannot be used as prizes at events (for example prizes for charity golf days), and therefore any such requests will not be accepted. The R&A donates tickets on the basis of looking to raise as much money for charities as possible via auctions, raffles, and other fundraising initiatives.

3. Only tickets donated by The R&A via this process can be used to raise money for charities/good causes. Any individuals, organisations or charities who sell tickets that have not been donated by The R&A for this specific purpose, would be in breach of the ticketing Terms & Conditions and as such these tickets may be cancelled.
