R&A TO SELL OPEN TICKETS ON AMAZON

The R&A has announced a new commercial partnership which will make official tickets and hospitality packages for the Open Championship at Carnoustie available for sale on Amazon Tickets in the UK, as well as from its own website, TheOpen.com.

The Open, which takes place from July 19-22, will become one of Amazon’s first ticketing partnerships in sport, and its launch coincides with the busy festive season when millions of shoppers are expected to visit the online retailer’s website.

A range of official ticket options will be available, including weekly and daily tickets, as well as a new weekend bundle, which will enable fans to enjoy the final two days’ play for one price. There is also a range of official hospitality packages available to purchase, which offer exclusive access to the Champions Club and the Claret Jug Pavilion,

Amazon Tickets was launched in the UK in 2015, and offers event-goers quick and easy booking, and all-inclusive pricing, for tickets to the most popular music, theatre, comedy and live events across the UK.
