USGA offers special ticket package for U.S. Senior Open, U.S. Amateur and U.S. Open

The United States Golf Association has just announced it’s offering an exclusive, limited-time combination ticket package for the 2010 U.S. Senior Open, the 2010 U.S. Amateur and the 2015 U.S. Open, giving golf fans an opportunity to experience three national championships in the Seattle area.

Golf fans who purchase the USGA Ultimate Package will receive one week-long ticket to the 2010 U.S. Senior Open at Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish (July 26– Aug. 1), one week-long ticket to the 2010 U.S. Amateur at Chambers Bay in Tacoma (Aug. 23 – 29), and a guaranteed advance opportunity prior to the general public, to purchase tickets to the 2015 U.S. Open at Chambers Bay (June 15-21, 2015).

“This package is very similar to the package we had last summer, the Major Offer,” said USGA director Tim Flaherty. “The response we had was tremendous and the fans have been asking about it since we ended the Major Offer last August. Ultimately we want to give the fans in the Pacific Northwest the best opportunity to experience all that the USGA has to offer, including the U.S. Open in 2015 at Chambers Bay.”

The Ultimate USGA Package is priced at $165 and includes seven individual daily tickets (Monday – Sunday) to both the 2010 U.S. Senior Open and the 2010 U.S. Amateur. This package also includes complimentary parking at both the U.S. Senior Open and the U.S. Amateur.

“A guarantee to the U.S. Open is very special and as golf fans in the Northwest we are lucky to have that access,” said U.S. Senior Open General Chairman, Chris Falco. “The U.S. Open has sold out for the past 24 years and I’m sure 2015 won’t be any different.”

An upgraded version of the Ultimate USGA Package is available and is priced at $275. This upgraded package includes seven individual daily Trophy Club tickets (Monday–Sunday) to the U.S. Senior Open, seven individual daily grounds tickets (Monday–Sunday) to the U.S. Amateur, and free parking at both events. The Trophy Club tent is located adjacent to the 18th fairway at Sahalee and provides upscale food and beverage available for purchase.

Throughout the week of both the U.S. Senior Open and the U.S. Amateur, juniors 17 and under receive free admission when accompanied by a ticketed adult.

The Ultimate USGA Packages are only available for a short time and quantities are limited. Buy online at www.2010ussenioropen.com or by phone at 877-281-OPEN only. Tickets will be fulfilled on a first-come, first-served basis.
