The Open ticket ballot, how does it work?

[sjw]

I was going to put in for two tickets on each day, but then it said, you must buy all tickets you're allocated or forfeit them all. That would be over a grand in tickets from memory... So how does the draw work? Do they draw each day, ie I might just get Thursday? Or do they draw people, in which case you get all of them?

I'm assuming it's the first option, but with that in mind I can't see why you wouldn't just enter for all the days

And as far as I know, there's usually loads on resale anyway. Maybe because people get too many tickets from entering all the days?

Is the official resale site strictly at face value?


I don’t think I am too fussed about watching much more pro golf, but I may make an exception for Birkdale….

The course has so many naturally good vantage points

Did you lot do the extra chance thingy whatever it was? I didn't bother and never got tickets last year, wish I'd done it to boost my chances this year.

Did you guys only apply for that day, or for multiple? My original question never got answered

I’ve been successful in getting 2 tickets for the Sunday. I had applied for Saturday as well to try and increase my chances of going, so I’m pretty pleased with that.

When you say the extra chance thingy @Bazz I think I did that, it was something to do with Mastercard if I remember rightly?

Yeah something like that, paying via Mastercard is ringing a bell.

Got tickets for Tuesday and Friday - pretty sure I applied for Sunday as well.

Think I'll pass on them tbh - £425 for 2 adults and 1 youth to watch a practice day and the Friday is a LOT of money.

I applied for the Thursday as well as the Sunday
