Advance U.S. Open Tickets at The Country Club

[Tim Martin]

I was able to snag a pair of U.S. Open tickets for the Tuesday practice round at TCC using promo code USGA22USO. By the time I registered just after the opening at 9:00 the general admission were gone and I was able to get Garden access for $75 a pop instead of $50. There was a time when practice round tickets were available right up to the time of the event but that ship has sailed. Anybody else take advantage of the promotion?

I've the PGA coming up in 2023. I better keep and eye out when they are going on sale.

Has golf spectating become popular enough that there are scalpers buying up large portions of tickets to sell later at a premium?

Jeez, I can remembers buying weekend tickets at the gate for the 1983 US Open at Oakmont.   Those days are gone, for sure.

There's so many buying forces that come into play...


1. How many of these tickets were always deeded to the Corporate sponsors/patrons?....They are a large part of the "sold out" scarcity....baked in to the total


2  And several broker/junket/travel organizers are glomming up various levels of tickets for "experience" packages...


3. And more local ticket broker/scalpers are always in play for anything...


4. And the general public (half of whom are not local, right?) has to get these tickets in hand; they can't rely on walk-up availability if they're coming from hours away or it is a part of distant travel.
