2010 U.S. SENIOR OPEN: USGA Major (Ticket) Offer a Huge Success
The USGA Major Offer was launched on June 4, 2009. The offer provided those who purchased tickets for the 2010 U.S. Senior Open at Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish, WA with the opportunity to buy tickets for the U.S. Open in 2015 at Chambers Bay in Tacoma, WA ahead of the general public. The offer ended on August 3, 2009 with more than 21,000 tickets to the 2010 U.S. Senior Open sold.
“This championship at Sahalee has the potential to be the biggest Senior Open to date,” said Tim Flaherty, USGA Director of the U.S. Senior Open and U.S. Amateur Championships. “It’s fantastic to see the Seattle community get behind this nearly a year out from the event. Support like this, combined with solid corporate support, will send a message to the golf world that the Pacific Northwest is a worthy host for future major championships.”
Although the USGA Major Offer is over, spectators are still encouraged to purchase tickets in advance. Spectators can select from a variety of ticket options ranging in price from $20 to $250. Tickets for the 2010 U.S. Senior Open may be purchased in store at participating Fred Meyer locations, by phone at 877-281-OPEN, or online at www.2010ussenioropen.com.
Included in the ticket options is the Fore Pack, which includes four good-any-one-day championship tickets. The Fore Pack is the most flexible option, allowing for tickets to be divided up throughout the week or used all on the same day. The Fore Pack is priced at $135. Details of all the ticket options are available at www.2010ussenioropen.com.
All tickets include free parking and free shuttle transportation to Sahalee Country Club. Throughout the week of the championship, kids 17 and under receive free admission when accompanied by a ticketed adult. Kids also receive front-row seating in all on-course grandstands.
