Ryder Cup Tickets

Because demand is so high, the PGA of America sells all Ryder Cup tickets - a total of 40,000 - via a random draw lottery. For the 2008 Ryder Cup Matches, these tickets have already been allocated.

However, you can purchase Ryder Cup tickets, for a range of prices, via secondary online ticket vendors and traders. Some sites to check for tickets are:

Ryder Cup Ticket Options

The ticket options, with standard prices (rather than those now available for traded tickets), are as follows:

Daily grounds tickets

  • Tuesday and Wednesday: $40 each
  • Thursday: $75
  • Friday and Saturday: $90 each
  • Sunday: $100

Each daily grounds ticket provides access to the 2008 Ryder Cup course, with off-site parking and shuttle service to the event.

Daily Samuel Ryder Club tickets

  • Thursday: $800
  • Friday and Saturday: $1 600 each
  • Sunday: $1 600

A daily Samuel Ryder Club ticket includes access to the grounds and to the Samuel Ryder Club, which provides seating at reserved tables, full buffets, an open premium bar and television coverage of the event. Preferred off-site parking, a shuttle service to the event and a copy of the official Ryder Cup Journal are included.

International Pavilion ticket: $555

This ticket includes access to the Valhalla Golf Club on all six days of the 2008 Ryder Cup (including the practice rounds on the first three days), access to the International Pavilion, a copy of the official Ryder Cup Journal, and off-site parking with a shuttle service to the event. The International Pavilion is a private, covered area with seating, food and drink options, and live coverage of the event via television monitors.

A season ticket includes access to the Valhalla Golf Club on all six days of the 2008 Ryder Cup, a copy of the official Ryder Cup Journal, and off-site parking with a shuttle service to the event.

Champion Club Packages

On each day of the Ryder Cup matches, corporate tables can be reserved in the exclusive Champions Club for a cost of $55,000, plus tax at 15%. Each table seats up to 10 people, and full buffets, an open bar, and televisions covering the live action are provided. The price includes preferential parking and tickets for 10 guests and one staff member or administrator. Your company's name will be posted on the Champions Club entrance, and complimentary Ryder Cup Journals and pairing sheets will be delivered to your table.

If you don't manage to secure your Ryder Cup tickets, you can still get the most out of the 2008 Ryder Cup Matches.
