Tickets for the 2007 Mamut English Open Championships - the final PSA Tour squash event of the year, hosted by Sheffield City Council - are now available.

Organised and promoted by Eventis Sports Marketing Ltd, the company led by the sport's four-times Commonwealth Games gold medallist Peter Nicol, the Mamut English Open has attracted the world's leading squash players since its launch at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield in 2004.

But, due to the famous theatre's refurbishment programme, the 2007 championships will take place at the city's English Institute of Sport, getting underway on Saturday 15 December with the finals on Tuesday 18 December.

Boosted by an increased $57,500 prize-fund, the 2007 five-star PSA Tour event is sure to attract a star-studded line-up - all eager to finish the year on a high and looking to start the New Year with a strong world ranking.

Local interest will undoubtedly be led by Sheffield's own Nick Matthew, the world No8 who reached the 2005 final and last year became the first Englishman for 67 years to win the British Open crown.

Tickets, priced from £12.50 - £25.00, are available with immediate effect from Ticketmaster, either via the website www.Ticketmaster.co.uk or by telephone on 0870-150 0541. 

All details will be available on the event's official website www.englishopensquash.co.uk
