147th Open Championship

I got it for £50 full price for tomorrow but I think I bought them in January and got £5 off for paying by mastercard as they're one of the sponsors.

Butch Harmon must be the most irritating commentator in golf, never shuts up, and some of the stuff he comes out with is cringeworthy.

All about opinions I guess. I love Harmon`s input. Could listen to him all day.

Paul Laurie won the Open at Carnoustie??? 

He should have said.

Watched nearly all of Tiger's level par round in those highlights and didn't see one of Jason Day getting the same score. Find him a dislikeable individual at the best of times but the media really do not help with their constant slevering over him.

He probably means an under 25s ticket, which is £40 and goes up to £45 for weekend. 

As for prices, at least you get a full day watching a sport's world elite play against one other. If you compare it to paying 20 odd quid to watch a Scottish football game for 90 mins then it's not terrible value. 

That's a fair point but it's still very expensive.  I wouldn't want to take a family of four for Sunday, 9 quid a burger etc.

For a family of four on Sunday

Tickets

Two wines

Two beers

Four cokes

Four burgers

Parking

 

Comes to £379 in my estimation.  Plus petrol and other bits and pieces.  Incredibly expensive.

It's the corporate nature of sport that has taken over our country (copied from America) in the last 20-30 years.

It's an absolute fucking disgrace.

The worst thing about it is they use each other as comparisons even though they're all at it (sfa Scotland games, England at Wembley, the Ryder cup).

If you looked at the prices from the 80s it would be massive increases, out of kilter with inflation.

Under 16s go free if that makes a difference, but aye, it's certainly an expensive day out.  Still, it doesn't come to your doorstep every week and a family trip to top flight football here could be £100 for one game including snacks etc, so when it comes to cost per hour, the golf major probably wins. 

Wouldn't be surprising if they purposely like to price out people to avoid Happy Gilmour type crowds. "Hey Tiger, yer s***e pal, lolz".

It's becoming very middle class and pricing normal people out.  A real shame.

Even then it's 289 then.  Way too much.

McIlroy striking it well today. Little wind albeit it`s been pretty unpleasant in terms of rain. No wind and slightly more receptive greens will suit him.

Hadn't noticed there was an under 25s ticket, thanks for that. Heading along on the Sunday now for the princely sum of £40.

Sky would be wanking themselves over him going joint leader

Fleetwood will win a major soon if not this weekend.

[PrestersKTID]

Looks like all my bets will be down come end of play today.

Hatton, Reed, Knox, Stenson and Fitzpatrick all struggling.

Tyrrell Hatton is a fucking w**k, and I would love to see him miss out on the Ryder Cup, hopefully this is the start of it.

Tom Watson is shite in the commentary box

Sky are bad for this allowing old timers in as you tend to miss a lot of play as they natter for an hour usually with waffle

£45 after the cut. 

Wouldn't want you travelling all that way and potentially having to beg at the gates for that extra fiver.
