Miracles Do Occur: 26-Year U.S. Open Sellout Streak Continues

I bet it was touch and go. I just worry now about those poor chaps outside the gates asking if I have tickets or need four.

For Immediate Release:

TICKETS SOLD OUT FOR 2012 U.S. OPEN

Far Hills, N.J. (June 12) – Tickets for championship rounds of the 2012 U.S. Open at The Olympic Club in San Francisco, Calif., are completely sold out, according to the United States Golf Association (USGA).

This is the 26th consecutive year that tickets for the U.S. Open have sold out.

“The streak of 26 U.S. Open sellouts began right here at The Olympic Club in 1987,” said USGA Executive Director Mike Davis. “We thank all the fans who have turned out over the years to support our national championship, and we welcome those who will join us here this week. It should be a great test of golf.”

Tickets for juniors are always available on site at will call and at all admission gates during the championship. Juniors age 12 and younger will be admitted free of charge any day when accompanied by an adult ticket holder. Tickets for juniors ages 13 to 17 will be available at a reduced rate of $15 for practice rounds and $35 for championship rounds. There is a maximum of two junior tickets per one adult ticket holder.
