    Tickets for The 146th Open at Royal Birkdale are now on sale with a variety of different ticketing options and early season prices available.

    For under-25s, The Open is more accessible than ever with Youth Tickets extended from 16 - 21 years of age to 16 - 24 year olds and The R&A is once again providing free camping accommodation for Youth Ticket holders.

    Sports fans should have 16-23 July 2017 firmly in their diaries as Champion Golfer of the Year, Henrik Stenson will look to defend the title he won in record-breaking fashion following a gripping duel with Phil Mickelson at Royal Troon in 2016. The world’s best golfers will join him next summer at Royal Birkdale as they compete for the most coveted prize in golf, the Claret Jug.

    More than 200,000 spectators are expected to come together across the magnificent dunes of Royal Birkdale, arguably The Open’s best viewing course.

    Spectators can secure their place at The Open at TheOpen.com/Tickets and take advantage of early season pricing. Adult daily tickets are available from £15 for Practice Days (16-19 July) and £60 for Championship Days (20-23 July).

    Fans will enjoy £5 off the price of their ticket if they purchase with a MasterCard – the official card of The Open.

    Weekly tickets, covering the whole Championship - Sunday 16 to Sunday 23 July - are available for £230.

    A limited number of Twilight Tickets are also on offer providing access to the evening action from 4:00 pm onward on Thursday and Friday of the Championship for only £25.

    The Open offers a number of incentives to welcome the next generation of golf fans to the Championship, including the Kids Go Free initiative, which provides free admission to children under the age of 16.

    Johnnie Cole-Hamilton, Executive Director – Championships at The R&A, said: “We are very much looking forward to another exciting Championship next summer when The Open returns to Royal Birkdale for the tenth time. The course offers a tremendous viewing experience for spectators and it has produced many of The Open’s finest Champions including Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson, Peter Thomson and Padraig Harrington.

    “Our aim is to deliver the best possible experience for golf fans and to ensure that the Championship remains affordable and accessible. There are few sports events in the world where fans can get so close to the star names Innovations including the Sky Open Zone practice area and player Autograph Zone will return in 2017. Reduced early season pricing, our Kids Go Free policy and free camping accommodation for under 25s are also part of that commitment.”

    A limited number of official hospitality packages are also available providing the very best on-course locations to experience The 146th Open, including the exclusive Claret Jug Pavilion at Royal Birkdale’s first tee and the stylish, relaxed atmosphere of the Champions Club.

    It appears that there are no concessions for Senior Citizens, but cheaper prices for 'youths' up to the age of 24!!

    Why is that a problem.? Senior citizens are far wealthier than our youths with their big pensions, high property values and numerous investments.
    It's not exactly big money and you could always watch it on Tv utilising your free licence to full effect.

    Sorry, but I don't recall calling it a problem - I was just pointing out what I thought was an anomaly, seeing as concessions are usually applied to tickets. It's also unusual to have 'youth' tickets as old as 24.

    Of course, some people just come on here looking for an argument!

    Having a free TV licence won't be much good for watching The Open from now on. Exclusive coverage has been sold to Sky.

    I'm not arguing. I merely pointing out that senior citizens don't actually need a concession. By raising your initial comment, you have implied that no concession is a problem.
