For Spectators only – Players registered for the GBO as players are not eligible for the Spectator Badge. A player on the 2017 GBO waitlist may register as a spectator. If a registered spectator gets into the actual event, they will be removed as a registrant for the Spectator Badge.
Come spectate at arguably the most exciting PDGA disc golf tournament of the year! The 2017 Glass Blown Open Spectator Badge gives you VIP spectator treatment all week at the Glass Blown Open. Spectator Badge holders receive a special spectator pack (valued well over $200), exclusive autograph opportunities, participation in special events all week, a week-long 10% discount at the Dynamic Discs store, and much more… Spectator Badge holders are welcome to participate in all of the same off-course activities that the registered GBO players may attend.
The Spectator Badge holders at the 2016 GBO were not disappointed… We fully expect the same in 2017!
Watching the exciting action at the 2017 GBO is free. The Spectator Badge program simply adds to the experience (in a big way).
