Girl at my work got two tickets for the Sunday yesterday - her surname starts with a G so if they are indeed doing them in alphabetical order that's where they are.

Hi Sav
Hi savo,
A lot of people who have got tickets will not be using all the days they have been allocated so will be looking to get rid... So unless they know others who want them hopefully some will make it to resale... I know at present I have 4 for Sunday that I don't intend on using so will either look to pass onto members at the course I play / mates or resale to the site.... Am not interested in trying to make a profit on them as I am sure some will... Good luck. 👍

Surname with a P so there's still hope. I've got a cracking few days planned up there that hinge on these tickets.
My Surname begins with an R, so I'm going to be watching what happens to you two VERY closely!
Don't want to burst any bubbles but my surname starts with G and I was in the first lot offered tickets.

No this was my first time and I got 2 Saturday tickets.
You're not allowed to post in here without telling us the letter your last name starts with.
I applied for Wednesday and Thursday.
I got an email a few weeks ago saying I’d been partially successful and had got the Wednesday. I paid £100 for them (2xadults & 2xjuniors) within a few days.
Then, earlier this week, I got an email saying that I’d actually been fully successful and can now buy the Thursday ones too. Think I’m going to do that and go overnight.
My surname begins with W and I don’t have a dog.

I got the Friday tickets i applied for a while ago now and my surname is later in the alphabet so not convinced by the surname order theory.
I have attended recent opens, and the last 2 at st andrews, but not sure if they prioritised regular attenders for these tickets or not.
Am sure that everyone who wants to go will get to go, it will just take time to process all the offers that werent accepted and redistribute them to those who werent lucky initially. Good luck everyone.

Jon W has debunked the surname theory that a few of us were holding on to...

Hi, I was luckily enough to get 2 tickets for Saturday and Sunday and gutted I won't make it now. Do I have to wait until the official resell site is up and running or can I sell them before? And advice is greatly appreciated

You need to wait and resell them on their resale marketplace in the new year.
My understanding on all this so far is that they’re non transferable and non refundable any other way.
