Fewer than 30 stall seats left for British Open

You will need to be quick to get a downstairs seat in the stalls for the British Open — but you can still bag a bargain discount for the Grand Tier to enjoy 'Star Crossed Lovers'.

The bands will be looking to claim the famous Gold Shield Trophy

Thursday, 04 September 2025

There are now fewer than 30 premium seats left to grab in the downstairs stalls area of Symphony Hall for this year's British Open Championship on Saturday 6th September.

Discount tier

The Choir, Circle and Upper Circle areas are sold out, although you can still purchase tickets for the Grand Tier and enjoy a major discount when you use the OPEN10 code.

The action kicks off at 10.00am with the first band performing Stephen Roberts new work, 'Star Crossed Lovers' based on Prokofiev's famous ballet score to 'Romeo and Juliet'.

Early music

If you get there early then there is also plenty of music to enjoy thanks to the performance of the Birmingham Citadel Band, as well as giving you the opportunity to purchase the 40 page commemorative programme, a study score and even some British Open merchandise.
