World Open Snooker: Tickets are on sale for a unique and innovative new tournament on the World Snooker calendar: the World Open in Scotland in September.
The world ranking tournament runs from September 18 to 26 at the SECC in Glasgow and is set to feature the sports top stars, including Ronnie OSullivan, Mark Selby, Scottish legend Stephen Hendry and Betfred.com World Champion Neil Robertson.

These amateurs will include junior, international and women players, as well as winners from tournaments staged at Rileys and other independent snooker clubs.
