Everyone who applied, via the random drawing process, for tickets to the 34th U.S. Senior Open Championship, will receive their request.

The United States Golf Association Championship will be held July 8-14, 2013 at the Omaha Country Club.

Officials said because of a generous grant from Douglas County, additional grandstands will be built, allowing all applicants to receive their requested tickets. Ticket applications exceeded all goals, ensuring an outstanding crowd will attend the 2013 championship.

Based on these ticket sales and the overwhelming corporate support of the championship, officials now estimate the total attendance will exceed the original goal of 150,000 spectators during the week. “An exceptional response from an extraordinary community,” stated General Chairman, Patrick Duffy.

Tim Flaherty, Senior Director, U.S. Senior and Women’s Opens, said, “The response of the Omaha community is reflective of why we chose to bring the U.S. Senior Open to Omaha in the first place. We look forward to hosting an outstanding national championship next summer.”

Spectators coming to Omaha will hail from 31 states, the District of Columbia and Canada.

While the championship is sold out of weekly tickets, local officials are working with the USGA to determine if additional public tickets can be made available for practice rounds or championship round play. An announcement on the availability of additional tickets will be made at a later date.
