Third-Party Resale

Please note that The R&A does not permit the resale of tickets on third-party websites, ticket sales platforms or marketplaces. This means that any tickets being sold on any third-party ticket resale sites or public marketplaces are being sold without the R&A's consent. Adult general admission tickets for The Open range in price from £25 - £130. Click here for a list of face-value prices. 


Any general admission tickets being sold for higher than the prices above are not authorised by The R&A and may not be genuine tickets.  


The R&A maintains a strong position that it is against our Terms and Conditions to sell tickets on public forums, third-party sites or for excess of the original face value of the ticket. Any tickets identified for sale or found to have been sold in such a manner are subject to cancellation without refund.
