Hi, new in Phoenix here.

I'm planning on attending the Waste Management Phoenix Open golf tournament on Saturday, and possibly Sunday, depending on how tired I am and if I still have any leftover beer money .

From what I've read, they've expanded the entrance, so it's not as crowded.

I know that I won't be able to get a seat at 16, or get into any luxury suites (damn!). That's fine. I'll hopefully have chances to do that in the future.

I'll likely be arriving in the parking lot at 9:30.

Any tips or pointers? Recommended food vendors?

Anyone else attending this weekend?

I'm not going this year but have the past 6 years. I've always gone on Sunday and you can get free tickets if you just walk up to the entrance area with the windows. People or even cops are giving out tix. I've also gotten into the 16th hole no problem on Sunday but not sure about on Saturday. Have fun!

I have a client taking me to their suite/box on the 16th Thursday and Friday. I've gone every year for probably 17 years. Plan to Uber/Lyft both ways or have a driver with you.

I went on the busiest day (Saturday) with a general admissions ticket.

I personally wouldn't go back with a general admissions ticket. Due to the numerous tents and grandstands, you could see very little golf on the closing holes.

If I go next year, I'll likely fork over the money for a suite ticket on one of the premier closing holes (16/17/18), which would also allow me to watch the rest of the tourney on TV.

Still, seems like another resounding year of raising millions for charities, and lots of people seemed to be having a good time, so, certainly a great Phoenix event.
