Can I add a Carer ticket to my Ticket Resale order?

Modified on Thu, 26 Sep at 9:13 AM

Please note, the Ticket Resale Platform for The 153rd Open will launch in early 2025. 


Complimentary Carer tickets cannot be listed for sale on the Ticket Resale Platform, and will therefore not available for purchase. However, it may be possible to add a complimentary Carer ticket to tickets purchased via the Resale Platform, subject to availability at the time.


To request the addition of a complimentary Carer ticket, One Club members must first purchase Adult or Youth ticket(s) on the Ticket Resale Platform after it has launched. Fans can then use the Contact Us form to request the addition. 


The R&A Ticket Office will then respond to request one or more of the following documents, which must be provided to The R&A Ticket Office to complete the transaction:

  • - Receipt of the standard or enhanced (also known as mid or high) rate of the Daily Living Component or the high rate mobility component of the Personal Independence Payment, Adult Disability Payment or Disabled Living Allowance for Children/Child Disability Payment for those under 16 years of age.
  • - Receipt of either the Employment & Support Allowance or Attendance Allowance.  
  • - War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement or War Disablement Pension for 80% or more disability. 
  • - Blind or partially sighted registration certificate (Certificate of Vision Impairment (CVI) or A655 in Northern Ireland), or evidence from an eye specialist, for example an optometrist, that the individual would qualify to be registered as severely sight impaired (blind) or sight impaired (partially sighted).
  • - Confirmation in writing from Social Services that the individual is included on their Deaf Register, or a letter or report from an aural specialist confirming that hearing loss has been recorded at 70 dBHL or above.
  • - Confirmation in writing from Social Services that the individual has a learning difficulty or disability. This may include proof of registration with Social Services, or if not on the Local Authority Register, a letter from a doctor or support worker confirming that the individual has a difficulty in learning new skills or may be unable to cope independently. For children – a letter from the head teacher at their school should also be sufficient.
  • - A personal letter from the GP, community nurse or social worker that the individual has a long-term disability and requires assistance/support.
  • - A Nimbus Access Card with the +1 symbol or other official documentation that a person might have to provide evidence that they require support from a carer in everyday life.


Please note, each One Club member can order a maximum of four tickets of any tariff, including complimentary Carer and Junior tickets, additional tickets beyond this maximum cannot be added under any circumstances.
