NEW TICKET AND PRICING OPTIONS INTRODUCED FOR 145TH OPEN AT ROYAL TROON
R and A NEWS RELEASE
New ticket and pricing options have been introduced for The 145TH Open at Royal Troon next year, including a new twilight ticket and a reduction in the price of an advance purchase adult daily ticket.
The world’s leading golfers
will compete to become Champion Golfer of the Year at the historic
Ayrshire links from 14-17 July 2016.
Twilight tickets are being
introduced for the first time, offering entry to the course from 4pm
onwards on Thursday and Friday of Championship week for £25. A limited
number are available and spectators are urged to purchase in advance.
Tickets for the Championship
are now on sale with the price of an adult daily ticket, purchased
before 31 May, changing to £60, which is £10 less than in 2015, and £80
thereafter.
Weekly tickets, valid from
Sunday 10 to Sunday 17 July inclusive, are available for £230 before 31
May, a saving of £95 on the daily ticket prices for the full week and
£10 less than in 2015, and £260 thereafter.
Martin Slumbers, Chief
Executive of The R&A, said, “We recognise that many people have work
commitments during the week and the new twilight tickets will give them
an attractive option to attend The Open. We have also made some changes
this year to encourage and reward spectators who purchase tickets early
which helps us with planning the services and facilities we offer at
the Championship.
“The Open is one of the world’s major sporting events and is the
highlight of the golfing calendar for many thousands of golf fans. Our
aim is to deliver an outstanding experience for spectators and to ensure
the Championship remains affordable and accessible.”
Children aged under 16, who are
accompanied by an adult, receive free entry to The Open. For youths,
aged 16-21, a daily ticket costs £25 before 31 May and £30 thereafter.
Spectators can look forward to
another enthralling Open Championship as Zach Johnson defends the title
he won in dramatic fashion in a play-off with Louis Oosthuizen, the
Champion Golfer of the Year in 2010, and Australia’s Marc Leishman at St
Andrews.
This will be the ninth occasion
on which The Open has been played at Royal Troon, with players such as
Bobby Locke, Arnold Palmer, Tom Weiskopf and Tom Watson among its
illustrious list of Champions. America’s Todd Hamilton won The Open the
last time it was held there in 2004 after a play-off with Ernie Els.
Christmas gift wallets and cards are available for those who would like to make a special gift of tickets to The Open.
