Golf fans are already teeing up to be part of next year's Open Championship at Royal Troon as details of the event's ticket ballot were confirmed.
The R&A is anticipating a high level of demand from spectators for the 152nd staging of the major and will allocate briefs via the ballot system for the event at the Ayrshire links from July 14-21, 2024.
The ticket ballot will run from Tuesday, June 27 to Tuesday July 25, and will be available exclusively to members of The One Club, a free-to-join membership programme. Fans can sign up to The One Club any time at www.TheOpen.com and will be among the first to be notified when the ballot is open.
Martin Slumbers, CEO of The R&A, said: “The Open is a real highlight in the global sporting calendar, which golf and sports fans everywhere look forward to enormously each year. We have seen demand to attend the Championship rise each year and so continuing with the ticket ballot is the most effective means to ensure that as many fans as possible get a chance to secure their ticket.
“We are looking forward to returning to Royal Troon for another special week in July next year when the Championship will be held there for the tenth time in its renowned history.”
A balance of allocations will ensure every generation of fan, from all over the world, as well as throughout the UK and the local area, will be able to attend.
Ticket prices for The 152nd Open have been frozen at current levels and will start from £95 for an adult on Championship Days and from £25 on Practice Days. A new Ticket Plus option has been introduced for the first time and is available to buy now, offering fans an "elevated experience" within a "relaxed environment" with access to a private bar and gourmet food trucks.
Free tickets will be available to children through the successful and long-running “Kids go Free” programme, while half-price youth tickets are available for 16-24 year-olds.
A range of premium hospitality experiences are available to purchase now and fans can guarantee their place at the Championship in luxurious surroundings with a fully inclusive dining and drinks package.
