Open Championship 2025 – General Admission – Pure Golf Access Across Royal Portrush

The General Admission ticket is the simplest way to roam every dune and grandstand at Royal Portrush, giving fans uncapped access to practice days and all four championship rounds of the 153rd Open from 17–20 July 2025. Adult day prices range from £25 on practice Sunday to £130 on Championship Sunday, and record demand means 278,000 spectators are expected to flood Northern Ireland’s north coast.

Pure Course Access

With a General Admission ticket you can follow Rory McIlroy down Calamity Corner in the morning and camp beside the 18th green for the trophy ceremony at dusk. The R&A’s fast‑track lanes speed you through the gates, while a peer‑to‑peer resale platform offers face‑value options if the initial ballot sold out. Secondary outlets report resale entry starting near $240 for Thursday, reflecting the event’s global pull.

What Your Ticket Includes

• Walk‑anywhere freedom across all spectator paths and natural dune vantage points.

• Public grandstands offering raised views of signature holes like the par‑3 16th.

• Fan village access featuring local food stalls, giant screens and live interviews.

• Free entry for juniors under 16, making the championship a family‑friendly outing.

Buying Tips & On‑Site Essentials

Tickets are issued digitally through the R&A app, so have ID ready at the turnstiles and note that outside food is permitted under standard bag‑size limits. If your chosen day is sold out, mid‑week rounds still carry strong fields yet lighter galleries, offering clearer sight‑lines for photographs. Early arrivals catch sunrise practice swings, while sunset walks along the rugged coastline deliver picture‑perfect backdrop shots.
