Tickets for the U.S. Senior Open are officially on sale as the championship returns to Scioto Country Club the week of June 29–July 5, 2026. Fans can choose between general admission gallery passes and upgraded Trophy Club access for both practice and championship rounds at the Upper Arlington course.

What’s on sale and what resale sites are showing

As reported by The Columbus Dispatch, third-party marketplaces such as SeatGeek are already listing per day gallery tickets roughly in the high $20s to low $60s, and Trophy Club daily seats generally in the $50–$105 range after fees. The Dispatch notes weeklong and flex package listings starting higher, for example, some weeklong gallery packages begin around $220, while premium Trophy Club weeklong packages are appearing near $358 on resale. Those resale numbers can differ from face value because of service charges and market demand at peak days like July 4.

USGA's official ticket breakdown

The United States Golf Association lists official daily pricing for the championship: practice round gallery tickets are $25 and Trophy Club tickets are $50. Championship rounds are priced $45–$55 for gallery access and $80–$95 for Trophy Club access, with Friday and Saturday at the higher end, according to the USGA. Gallery access includes grounds admission, walking the course, grandstand availability, concessions, free parking and shuttle service. Trophy Club access adds a climate controlled viewing area between holes 14 and 15, along with upgraded concessions and executive restrooms. The USGA also offers weeklong and flex 5 pack options through its ticketing portal.

How to buy and resale tips

The USGA is directing fans to its championship ticket portal and SeatGeek as the official ticketing provider. "Our fans will receive a ticketing experience that’s as exceptional as the championships themselves," the USGA said in a press release. Buying through the official channel typically reduces the risk of counterfeit or invalid tickets, and the USGA and SeatGeek platform supports single transaction, multi day purchases and official hospitality options. If a session you want shows sold out, comparison shop across reputable marketplaces, but factor in service fees, shipping or delivery methods and the seller's reputation before paying a premium.

Where it happens and local tips

Scioto Country Club is located at 2196 Riverside Drive in Upper Arlington and has a long championship pedigree. The course previously hosted the U.S. Senior Open in 1986 and 2016, and winners from those years included Dale Douglass and Gene Sauers, as reported by The Columbus Dispatch. Expect heavy local traffic around Independence Day weekend, plan to arrive early for practice rounds, use the free shuttles where available and reserve grandstand or Trophy Club access if you prefer guaranteed seating and climate controlled comfort.
