High demand for premium tickets for British Open

Premium tickets for the British Open are starting to become increasingly limited — so don't miss out.

British Open
  Premium tickets for the event are being snapped up

Premium tickets for the 2025 British Open Championships are starting to be in limited supply for the contest to be held at Symphony Hall in Birmingham on Saturday 6th September.

Tickets first went on sale from 15th May, with only a handful of seats now available in both the Choir and Circle and the vast majority sold in the Stalls and Upper Circle. There are a number of tickets still available in the Grand Tier.

A spokesperson for the British Open told 4BR: "This has been an excellent response within the first month of ticket sales and we envisage that there will be further demand all the way to the contest day itself.

We would encourage people to book their premium tickets now to avoid disappointment."
