*Purchase of Tickets *

Tickets purchased from or obtained through persons other than PGA European Tour, an Authorised Agent or an Official Ticketing Agent (or otherwise in accordance with these Conditions) shall be void or voidable and may be seized and/or cancelled without any liability for refund or compensation. PGA European Tour assumes no responsibility for Tickets that have been acquired through the secondary market or unauthorised platforms.
  2. Ticket Purchasers must be a minimum of 18 years of age. Any person wishing to attend the Event who is under 18 years old must have their own Ticket. Persons wishing to attend the Event who are younger than 16 years old must be accompanied at all times by a Ticket Holder who is at least 18 years of age and who will be responsible for compliance with these Conditions by the younger spectator. For safety and security reasons, a maximum of 3 (three) children per adult are permitted in the Venue.
  3. Tickets are sold subject to availability. PGA European Tour reserves the right (in its absolute discretion) to limit the number of Tickets purchased or Ticket categories available for purchase by any single person or withdraw from sale, refuse to sell or cancel orders for Tickets from any person where Tickets are paid for with the same credit or debit card or applied for under the same shipping and/or email delivery address or in circumstances where it believes a person intends to offer a Ticket for resale.
  4. Ticket prices shall be set by PGA European Tour or by an Official Ticket Agent. All prices are in local currency and are inclusive of any applicable taxes but may be exclusive of booking or handling fees and collection or secure delivery fees.
  5. PGA European Tour may set special Ticket prices, including Tickets for concessions (i.e. children under a certain age and/or persons over a certain age (as at the time of the Event)), and/or family or package tickets. Ticket Holders taking advantage of such special Ticket prices may be required, upon request by any Authorised Person, to provide proof of his or her age with appropriate Photo ID. Failure to produce proof of age may result in the Ticket Holder being refused entry, being asked to leave the Venue or being asked to pay the full adult price of a Ticket.
  6. A payment card used to purchase Tickets must be registered in the name of and at address of the Ticket Purchaser. PGA European Tour and Official Ticket Agents reserve the absolute right to refuse or cancel any orders for Tickets which fail to comply with this paragraph.

Delivery of Tickets

  1. Tickets will be delivered to the shipping address provided by the Ticket Purchaser or as “e-tickets” to the email address provided by the Ticket Purchaser. Tickets will not be delivered to any other address or email address. A signature may be required upon receipt. Post Office boxes (or similar) are not acceptable addresses for the physical delivery of Tickets. Delivery of physical Tickets may occur during working hours, thus is the responsibility of the Ticket Purchaser to provide a delivery address where it will be possible to sign for the receipt of Tickets during the day.
  2. The Ticket Purchaser is responsible for accurately providing the address or email address to which the Tickets are to be delivered. Neither PGA European Tour nor any Official Ticketing Agent shall be responsible or liable for non-delivery as a consequence of any error made by the Ticket Purchaser in this regard.
  3. If the Ticker Purchaser wishes to make any changes to the shipping address after receiving his/her booking confirmation, then he/she must do so in sufficient time before the scheduled date of delivery and, if the country to which delivery is to take place is amended and as a consequence the shipping cost increases, then the Ticket Purchaser shall be obliged to pay such increased cost prior to shipping being undertaken.
  4. If Tickets are made available for collection at the Venue or at an Official Ticketing Agent’s office, only the Ticket Purchaser may collect the Tickets and only then upon presentation of a booking reference number or e-voucher, Photo ID and the payment card used to make the purchase (if applicable). If the payment card used to make the purchase will expire before the date of collection, and in order to minimise the risk of credit card fraud, the Ticket Purchaser must notify PGA European Tour or the Official Ticketing Agent (as appropriate, depending on whom the Tickets were purchased from) of the change of card details prior to collection.
  5. If electronic/digital Tickets are available for the Event, the Ticket Purchaser will receive an order confirmation email and a separate e-Ticket email. Electronic/digital Tickets have a secure bar code which is scanned at the Venue entry point prior to entry into the Event. Such Tickets are subject to the same conditions as any other form of ticket and must not be reproduced or otherwise copied.
  6. Upon delivery, the Ticket Purchaser shall assume sole responsibility for the safeguarding of those Tickets. If delivery cannot be accepted for any reason (e.g. addressee unknown), the Ticket Purchaser must inform PGA European Tour that the Tickets were not received and PGA European Tour may allow Tickets to be collected from a specified location.

Further, PGA European Tour may pursue any other legal remedies available to it in relation to any such breach of these Conditions.
  3. If a Ticket Purchaser purchases more than one Ticket, those additional Tickets may only be used by the Ticket Purchaser and his/her Guests, each of whom must be a family member, friend or colleague who is known to the Ticket Purchaser personally and who is intended to accompany the Ticket Purchaser to the Event. The transfer of a Ticket in this manner shall not contravene these Conditions provided always that: (a) such a transfer takes place without payment or benefit in excess of the Original Sale Price of the Ticket; and (b) such a transfer is otherwise subject to these Conditions; and (c) the Ticket Purchaser may be requested to provide the name and address (and any other identification details, as required by PGA European Tour) of those who are intended to accompany him/her at any time by any Authorised Person.

None of PGA European Tour, the Venue or any Authorised Person accept any responsibility for any loss, theft or damage of a Ticket Holder’s personal property and each Ticket Holder hereby releases PGA European Tour, the Venue and each Authorised Person from any liability for any loss or damage to personal property that they may suffer in relation to his or her attendance at the Venue.
  6. Ticket Holders must retain their Tickets at all times whilst within the Venue.
