If you want to go to Celtic Manor for the 38th Ryder Cup matches in September 2010 you will need to get your hands on one of those elusive tickets!
The tickets are sold through a ticket lottery by the PGA – so you cannot just go and buy one. Registration for the lottery is now open and you will need to register your interest – here (applications accepted till July 31st). The lottery draw itself will then take place in August 2009.
Be careful where you buy your tickets (more…)
A scam selling Counterfeit Ryder Cup Tickets worth over £10,000 was uncovered in court yesterday. A Welsh man sold fake tickets to unsuspecting golf fans on both sides of the Atlantic by using the online auction site Ebay. The judge imposed a custodial sentence of 9 months on the 22 year old scammer for obtaining money by deception. This conviction comes just a month after a very similar case of a 20 year old from Cwmbran who was also convicted of selling non-existent tickets for the Ryder Cup over eBay.
This highlights the dangers of buying Ryder Cup tickets online. The PGA lottery is the only legitimate source of tickets for the public and the PGA have issued warnings to that tickets are non transferable.
Today (June the 5th) is the first day of registration for the Ryder Cup 2008 ticket lottery.
Anyone who wants to get a ticket must enter the lottery as there are only 40,000 available and demand will fat outstrip the supply. You can enter the lottery up to Sunday, September 30, 2007, 11 p.m. ET. The Draw will then take place in October 2007 and you will be notified in November 2007.
The application process is free (more…)

Well contrary to what has been said on previous articles on this site I just found out this morning that it is possible to change the name on your Ryder Cup tickets. You need to contact the Ryder Cup Ticket office by using their contact form on www.rcts.co.uk or by emailing them at names@rcts.co.uk. You will need to send the full details for the orginal ticket holder and for the name of the person you wish to assign it to (this includes passport numbers and full names, addresses and dates of birth).
The bad news I’m afraid is that having tried all contact methods this morning I still am awaiting a response from them. If anybody else has any experience with this, positive or negative, please do let us know.

Well it’s getting to that time isn’t it? Team USA is now picked for better or worse and Team Europe will be decided at the BMW international open. Tickets are sold out as everyone knows at this stage. Tickets are like gold dust and the only way to buy one is to pay through the nose on Ebay (note the organisers say that tickets are non-transferable and security will be tight so check the status of the ticket before you buy) or purchase from a corporate travel company (note – one went bust over here leaving huge debts and no tickets, so be careful) or to enter one of the last minute competitions for tickets.
Here are the competitions that are currently running:
Ireland.ie – This is a competition being run by Failte Ireland just fill in you details and plans to holiday in Ireland
PGA European Tour – Give your email address and you could win a pair of tickets for practice days and all matches.
Ryder Cup Practice Day tickets for the official practice rounds at the K Club on September the 19th and 20th have gone on sale now.
The tickets are €35 each and can only be purchased at the official site www.rydercup.com (finding the tickets is tricky so click here)
The number of tickets is limited and will sell out quickly so for those of us with no Ryder Cup tickets this may be the only way to see the teams in action on the Palmer Course.
