150th Open @ St Andrews ballot

Try the camping people. Camping (stayattheopen.com). I'm in there for 2 nights. They have been very helpful. Not done it myself before, but mates have. They say it's very good. If all else fails, I'll take you tickets off you!

Cheers mate I'll message them ?

If anyone is looking for tickets I may have access to a pair for the Saturday. PM me for details.

As above, I'm looking for single for Thursday if anyone has spare! Cheers.

I stupidly applied for Thurs - Sun thinking I could opt out if I didn't get the day I wanted.

Now I have a ticket for all 4. I mean, delighted and all that but there is a slim chance I'll be able to make all 4. I presume if I just purchase the 4, I can sell on the ones I don't need? Or am I stuffed?

Hi

I am willing to purchase some tickets from you. Send me your personal email and we can talk

Is there anyone on here willing to transfer tickets? I am interested if anyone is. This is legal and allowed according to the Open website rules.

Hi

I am willing to purchase tickets from anyone who is willing to transfer. Transfers are valid

Hi everyone, is anyone still looking to transfer tickets for any of the 4 days?

I wasn't successful in the ballot this time around, unfortunately.

Thanks for any help.

Resale announced in this article. Some time next month. Little more detail though. Demand going to be high I fear. But hopefully making everyone buy every ticket they applied for in ballot will mean good few on sale.

It'll be interesting to see how they do it, but I guess it'll be certain time, certain day, and website crashes for most!

Again, I know I'm newbie on here, but regular attender at open and been hacking round course for 40 odd years, so genuine golfer who is still looking for Thursday ticket still! Got me tent lined up for two nights!

That’s really poor communication from R&A burying that announcement in a much wider update. For the platform to be effective they need to drive supply of tickets so should be more proactive and assertive in landing this and engaging members how to use it.

Coming and going for Thursday. Friday onwards, no. But mate is looking to get rid of child ticket and he had not been approached. More to come I would say.

 

[Jimaroid]

Huh? The ticket resale platform doesn't show up in my account.

I'm guessing it's not truely live yet or it's in some sort of rolling launch.

 

[Sand Trapped]

All live now, tickets coming and going - would suggest staying on the site and refreshing for 5-10 minutes.

 

[Jimaroid]

Still not showing for me?

 

[Rewood]

It's not in an obvious place. Go into My Account and should look like this..
