Ryder Cup 2027 tickets sell out in under an hour amid huge demand
Within a few hours, practice-day and weekly tickets available in the same window also sold out.
All match-day tickets for the 2027 Ryder Cup available via an exclusive priority window for Irish residents sold out in under an hour on Friday.
Within a few hours, practice-day and weekly tickets available in the same window also sold out.
More than 150,000 people across the country had pre-registered for early access, with a limited number of tickets available on a first-come, first-served basis from 11am.
Those unsuccessful in this window will have a second opportunity to purchase general admission daily tickets through the full public ballot, which opens to fans worldwide on Wednesday, June 3.
Richard Atkinson, European tour group’s chief Ryder Cup officer, said: “The demand from fans across the island of Ireland has been unprecedented. We know that Irish golf fans are amongst the most enthusiastic in the world and this is yet another reminder of that.
“We also look forward to the start of June when, in addition to Irish residents getting a second chance, fans from around the world will get their opportunity to be part of this great sporting occasion.”
Earlier, some users reported the website was difficult to use, saying they were removed from the page.
One golf fan told the the website was not easy to navigate, despite having registered for an account in advance, as advised.
Organisers acknowledged in an on-screen message that they were "experiencing technical difficulties" with the ticketing system and were working to resolve the issue.
A spokesperson for Ryder Cup Europe said: “We are aware of a handful of individual user issues but there are no widespread technical problems with today’s sale. Indeed, tickets have been selling at anticipated levels given Irish fans’ renowned enthusiasm for golf and the Ryder Cup.”
A limited number of general admission daily tickets went on sale for the three match days — Friday, September 17; Saturday, September 18; and Sunday, September 19 — at a cost of €499 per ticket.
A limited number of tickets for the Tuesday and Wednesday practice days (September 14 and 15) were also available from €89, along with tickets for Thursday, September 16 — which will feature the Opening Ceremony — from €179.
In addition, practice-day tickets for fans under the age of 16 were available from €20 on Tuesday and Wednesday, and €30 on Thursday.
