Faqs

How does the “Book of 5” exchange ticket system work?

The “Book of 5” advance ticket is an exchange voucher. Upon arrival at Gamo Golf Club (starting from May 20th), you must present this voucher at the exchange desk to receive a set of physical admission tickets consisting of four day-tickets for the tournament rounds and one practice day ticket.

What happens if the tournament is delayed due to weather?

In accordance with official tournament policy, tickets are generally non-refundable unless the tournament fails to take place entirely. If a specific day is delayed or suspended, your admission ticket for that day remains valid for the resumed play, but please check the official tournament website for real-time updates.

Can I use one ticket for multiple people if they arrive at different times?

No, one admission ticket is limited to one person per day. Once a ticket has been used for entry on a specific date, it cannot be transferred or used by another person for that same day. The set of five allows one person access for the duration of the event.

Are there specific items prohibited at the golf course?

To maintain the professional atmosphere and player concentration, spectators are generally prohibited from bringing large cameras (especially with loud shutters), drones, and noise-making devices. Mobile phones must be kept on silent mode at all times while on the course.
