Those who bought weekly tickets for inaugural Wachovia Championship get first shot for 2004
Between now and Oct. 31, weekly ticket-holders from the first Wachovia Championship have the opportunity to buy 2004 weekly ticket books at the 2003 price.
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 9, 2003 — Though David Toms’ inspiring victory in the inaugural Wachovia Championship remains fresh in the minds of golf fans across the Southeast, planning for the 2004 event at Charlotte’s Quail Hollow Club is well under way.
Between now and Oct. 31, weekly ticket-holders from the first Wachovia Championship have the opportunity to buy 2004 weekly ticket books at the 2003 price of $110. Renewal offers and instructions are being mailed to homes and businesses this week. When tickets go on sale to the public on Nov. 17, weekly tickets will be available to first time purchasers for $120.
Daily tickets, which sold out in 2003, will be sold beginning on Nov.17 as part of a special holiday promotion that ends Dec. 26. Any remaining daily tickets will go on sale March 15.
“The fans who invested in weekly tickets for the inaugural Wachovia Championship helped make the tournament one of the premier stops on the PGA TOUR, which is extraordinary for a new event,” said Tournament Director Kym Hougham. “This early ticket offer is a way of recognizing those whose attendance made the first Wachovia Championship such an overwhelming success.”
The 2004 Wachovia Championship will again bring the world’s greatest golfers to the Quail Hollow Club May 3-9. For more information, contact the tournament office at 704-554-8101.
