Waste Management Phoenix Open Tickets

Beautiful course and a definite party vibe at the Phoenix Open! At least 1/3 of the people attending seemed to be interested in golf..... Easy to find a place to get fairly close to your favorite golfer, except on hole 16! Certainly a different experience from the other PGA events that I've attended, and worth it.

Well organized-easy to navigate to the holes. The 16th Hole was the best. I would recommend that the concession stand would have a better selection of food! Otherwise, a perfect day and so much fun!!!

The golf course is very spectator friendly. They need to work on the shuttle bus plan at exit time tho. Stage more buses somehow. The line is way too long

Best time I've had at a sporting event. Enjoyed ourselves from start to finish. 16th hole is the place to be, see you next year !!

Awesome time. Great facility. Beautiful weather and view

If you want to see some incredible shot making go. This was my first ever pro golf tournament and it was a blast. I went on sunday so crowds weren't as big as Saturday, and still made it home to watch Super Bowl in full. Also we got on TV with Phil Mickelson.

16th hole was a blast! Not only was the crowd fun and animated, the players and their caddies were hysterical!

the sixteen hole was out of this world. We sat in Sky box behind green. Unbeliveable!!!!

Tournament was extremely well organized. Plenty of concession stands available throughout the course. Personal stations were available to handle the entire crowd!!

The security at the event was horrible. Waited on a line for 3 hours just to be cut by some drunk underage children. The security had no idea how to handle the situation and everyone in line was pissed off. Very un-professional. Other than a wasted 3 hours (did not even get in), the event was fun for the atmosphere. I would give it another try.

Extremely exciting event. The 16th hole was worth the trip.

We would not go back. The venue was gorgeous, and we did get to see some golf because we arrived relatively early, but by about noontime the crowds were too large to permit easy access to many of the spectator-favorite holes, and I would guess at least half the people in attendance, many of whom appeared to be college-age, had no interest in the golf at all and looked at the event as one big block party. This attitude is actually encouraged by the relatively low ticket prices with no limit to the number sold, the free-flowing beer, and the raucousness surrounding the 16th hole that this tournament is so famous for and which sometimes carries over to other holes. Our no-interest-in-golf suspicion was actually confirmed, in a very minor way, in a conversation we had with a waitress at a local restaurant we went to right afterwards who saw the ticket that I had taken off of my shirt and set on the table. She said, "I have a friend who is going to that, and she doesn't know anything about golf." We had originally planned/hoped to watch some on-course golf in the morning and then go over to the 16th hole and watch a few drives and the corresponding cheering or booing. Never happened. The 16th is completely surrounded with bleachers, and the number of spectators allowed in is limited to the number of seats. We saw long lines, and we didn't want to stand around waiting for people already in the stands to leave so that we might get a chance to enter. We could have been waiting all day. If we ever went to this tournament again, which we probably won't, we'd make a point of going to the 16th first thing in the morning and getting some seats even if it meant waiting an hour and a half or so for the first groups who teed off on hole #10 to make their way around to this hole. We have been to other PGA tour events over the years, including the PGA Championship, The U.S. Open, The Memorial, the WGC at Firestone, and twice to The Players Championship. In all of those situations, the focus was the golf, and the fans were appropriately respectful. I wish that were more in evidence at the Phoenix Open.

We thoroughly enjoyed the golf tournament and would go again. Next year we would liek to attend more than one day.

We sat in the bleachers for a while,no charge, and enjoyed watching the pros up close. Then we meandered around the tents and had an enjoyable time. Luch,drinkks etc. The courtesy bus layout and procedure was top notch!

Saturday is insane and plan on something other than a golf tournament. It is the party day for the tournament. The down part is the loud, drunken, foul language and the trash. HELLO Phoenix, it is the Waste Management Open. Pick up your trash! Otherwise moving day is always exciting. Sunday is great! Very easy to get around and to get prime seats at the 16th stadium.

Great time. Everything is very well done. Weather was perfect. Can't wait to go next year!

Beautiful day to sit around in the grass. Transportation to and from the public parking lots was well organized. Overall, it was too crowded (173K+ people that day) to be enjoyable. So many corporate tents made it hard to find good viewing spots.

I went to the Waste Management Open on Saturday the 4th. It was ridiculously crowded and unfortunately the majority of the crowd consisted of young and drunk 20 somethings and not there to enjoy the sport. The concession lines were way too long. Also, the line to get back to my car from the parking lot was probably about a mile long. We ended up paying for a cab to get us back to our car. I did not enjoy the day and was very disappointing. It seems that the Waste Management did not do a good job at capping the attendance level to a manageable level.

Able to follow less known golfers, not crowded....

Well, one of my goals was to hang out at the 16th hole and join the crowd there. There was at least an hour wait to get to even see the hole. If you didnt have a corporate pass or grandstand pass, you were out of luck. So, never saw the 16th, just heard the cheers and boos from afar. Otherwise got to see some great golf on the other holes.
