Buying Tickets to the FBR Open

There are lots of tickets to the FBR Open. In fact, tickets never run out, so make sure you never pay more than the face value of a ticket. In the case of a single day ticket, that means $25.

If you are a current member of law enforcement, fire prevention, forest services, or the armed forces bring your I.D. and you and one person are invited to visit the FBR Open for free courtesy of the Thunderbirds. (2008)

You'll hear about lots of ticket giveaways from radio stations and car dealerships and such for FBR Open tickets. It's a relatively cheap marketing giveaway for them.

You may have friends that have received tickets. Companies that purchase sponsorships and corporate tents get plenty of tickets, so ask people you know and see if some free tickets to the FBR Open are available.

Finally, if you are going to pay full face value for a ticket at the FBR Open, my advice is to wait until you get there. The lines aren't too long. There used to be many people selling tickets at a discount all over the pace, but they seem to be cracking down on that activity, and it isn't as prevalent now as in years passed. If you hear of a deal in the parking lot or on the shuttle bus, I'd take it because tickets scalpers aren't allowed much closer to the event than that. As large signs indicate, the selling of tickets by other parties, or even giving tickets away, is against the rules at the FBR Open.
