Thanks for the heads up.

How will the "Any one day" tickets work?

Surely everyone will just want to go the Sunday?

Rather than listing prices for Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun they have "any one day". You'll have to select the "one day" you want in advance.

Going to go for the Pro Am I think.

I went to Sat and Sunday last year and although it was a great weekend think I'm going to go earlier in the week, maybe pro am and Thursday, get to see everyone then, smaller crowd, players more relaxed for autographs etc.

Missed out on seeing Rory hit a ball last year

I bought tickets, it never asked to specify a day.

Cheers to the op, Christmas shopping is almost finished now.

I'd say those positions will be filled by members of the K Club and their families.

Various clubs are invited every year to supply personnel for assorted duties. Not sure how it is organised - it seems to be at the discretion of the GUI and the host club. If your club is on the list, you should hear about it. If it isn't, I'm not sure there is anything you can do about it.

Has anybody bought a 'Season Ticket' for previous Irish Opens? Do you receive individual tickets for each day, or a single ticket to be used everyday?

Field is available on the euro tour website now and it is very strong. Disappointingly, none of the top American players however.

Kaymer, Willett, Cabrero-Bello, Sullivan, Westwood, Jimenez.

Will be a good field I think.

And I'm marshalling it this year so should get a close look!

PokeHerKing

Picked up an any-day ticket for this. It never asked me to specify a day.

I've heard they run buses, does anyone have any info on this? Can't find anything online. Ill be coming from Templeogue.

Cheers

I've just organised 2 tickets. The son & I have been to the last 3. Just haven't decided whether it suits us better to go Saturday or Sunday. Probably Sunday.

What's the story with brining kids? My daughter is 10 and is converting into a golf nut. Played her first 5 holes on a course there on Wednesday and loved it!!!
She wants to come with me and I have a season ticket. Are kids under a certain age charged and can you get a ticket on the day?

Under 16s free of charge accompanied by an adult. (Well that is how it was last year anyway)

Does anyone know what parking will be like around the K Club?

Coming from Dublin will it be easier to get the train to Maynooth and leave the car at home?

Halfprice

Parking from memory was grand the last time it was in the KClub.

DuckSlice

Really looking forward to this, hopefully will see Rory playing some better golf this year. I see American golf have a stand/tent i wonder will there be good deals or will they put the prices up for it.

wolfyboy555

Is there a facility to collect tickets on the day? I ordered a day ticket but it never came in the post after a confirmed dispatch. When I emailed them they said to collect them?

FixdePitchmark

Not a fan of this event in K- Club.

In fact, no build up to it like last year

I know it being in RCD was a great novelty.

But a bit sick it is here.

Nearly considered not going at all.
The only positive incredible motorway access from anywhere in the country.

gman127

Does anyone know if you can go up to it on the Tuesday?

And is there tickets needed then or just rock up???

There is never that magic feeling about it when its on a parkland, in contrast to when we are lucky enough to get it onto a links, then it seems to really have a great buzz about it.

Seve OB

I disagree

I thought from a spectator point of view it was awful last year. So much so, I didn't bother going more than 1 day

Previous year was fantastic, went 3 days.

I think the K-Club is a great venue for it. It was brilliant for the Ryder Cup.

Nobody doubting the venue, its wonderful, but there doesn't seem to be the same buzz.

I thought there was a great buzz at Fota. Obviously remains to be seen about next week. It would have been great this weekend.... weather not looking so good for next week

Best buzz ever was the week of the Ryder Cup in the K-Club. Hairs up on the back of the neck and Goose pimples for a solid three days! Massively different tournament though

Wichita Lineman

Lack of buzz this year coz none of Rory's mates coming, like Rickie Fowler did last year.

That said I'm looking forward to attending my fourth in a row and I reckon it will be a better experience for spectators. Unlike Fota or Carton House the stewards were a little over zealous at RCD and everywhere was roped off often leaving you well away from the action.
