The ballot for tickets to the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush opened on July 1 in 2024. So that is long gone.
It ran until July 31, and fans submitted ticket applications with results announced during August and September, with all having a fair opportunity to attend the event in Northern Ireland.
The ballot was available exclusively to members of the One Club, which is a free-to-join digital membership programme that fans can sign up to at any time. One Club members were the first to be notified when the ballot opened, and they could also upgrade to One Club Advantage for an enhanced chance of success.
The Open was last held at Royal Portrush in 2019 when Shane Lowry won the Claret Jug in front of his home crowd. The 2019 Open set a record for attendance for the tournament outside of St Andrews with 237,750 fans present throughout the week.
