The Open 2023

[roblad82]

Just been allocated 4 tickets for the Sunday. Originally applied for Friday and Sunday but happy to get anything so we can start planning now

 

[Stegsie]

Still waiting on news. Not holding out much hope!!

 

[evemccc]

Just got what I booked


I’m quite sure most people will get what they want. I can’t see an Open next summer at Hoylake being the draw that St Andrews 150th was

IMO The R&A are trying to create the same demand and frenzy for tickets as Wimbledon has had for years, and that’s why the switch to a ballot application has occurred —— fostering the illusion of scarcity

Edit: And yes, I’m a general cynic ?

 

[Stegsie]

BOOM! Just got an email to confirm I've secured a ticket for the Friday.

 

[JohnF]

Just got confirmation email that I got tickets for the Friday. Now to sort the accommodation

 

[Bazz]

I'm going to miss out again aren't I....

 

[rystaman]

Just got confirmation for the Friday. Applied for Friday, Saturday and Sunday and stupidly only booked a hotel Friday, Saturday and Sunday night...

 

[r11john]

Student accommodation. Not great but if ya on a budget. Bring binoculars.

 

[Bazz]

Anyone had any allocated since the last batch?

 

[Beezerk]

Nope nothing.

 

[Bazz]

Nope nothing.

I think we're waiting for the unsuccessful email now.

 

[Bazz]

I've been checking everyday to see if I've got in and now I can't see an email to see that I entered the ballot... ???

I got my choices but the Mrs,Mastercard holder by the way hasn't heard a thing.

The train station for Hoylake is about 200 yards away from the entrance.
The trains are usually every 10mins from James Street station in Liverpool when the open is on.

Chester isnt too far away, probably about 40mins by car but hoylake can be bit awkward to get to by car so you'd have to use the park and ride and i'm not sure how far away they are.

If i were you i'd try and get accomodation in Liverpool then jump the rattler to Hoylake. Easy enough and less hassle in all honesty.

Park'n'Ride was only 5/10 minutes away when I was there a few years ago and wasn't difficult to get to. Plenty of accommodation on the Wirral side of Chester. Even more in Chester. About 1/2 an hour via M53 or A494

Yeah I used my Mastercard too, supposed to have more chance.

 

[Beezerk]

Just had the email, unsuccessful ?

 

[Bazz]

Yep, unsuccessful as well.

 

[Imurg]

Same boat as you but thankfully bagged a Sunday ticket off a mate ?.

First golf event I'll have been to, looking forward to it!

2 years in a row tried for ballot tickets, no joy, how fair is it ?
