Unless anyone says different, I really can't see that your friends will have any trouble attending the competition over the 4 days. Just pay and go.
However, they might like some seats on the final day in the "grandstand" at the 18th? If that's the case then there could well be booking agencies who can help but unfortunately I don't know of any.
Hopefully, others might be able to help.

I went to two pro tournaments at Black Mountain and I bought the tickets in advance at the Black Mountain pro shop.
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

My fave has always been Banyan followed by BM. The new 9 at BM makes an interesting addition to try out since the last time you played. Never any deals at these 2.

Palm Hills has vastly improved over last few years and is prob my 3rd fave. Some offers twighlight etc.

I am due in April cant wait.

I also heard that and asked a BM member back in December/January who said that he had also heard that buyers from China were looking at it - so nothing definite here.

I am shocked as he put 2 grips on for me Thursday and we had a good chat about things.

Yes a lovely man and I am off to Fred Kroll's funeral at noon today!!
