Can't remember for certain but I think I paid half that for the France Ryder Cup, and then we got ripped off on food at the course too. They'll sell out whatever the price so they can charge what they like unfortunately.

Golf gains popularity each year, so those who have never been will accept it and they will sell out.

Like saying, "Oh the price of a loaf' sadly.

At that price I'll give it a miss.

I paid about £90 pd at Celtic Manor in 2010 from memory.

Crazy!

Once upon a time I could take the family to a footie match. Looks like golf is going the same way, or gone the same way…

I paid €1950 for two weekly tickets for Rome in 2023.
Would I pay twice that for Ireland? No chance.

From Memory I think we paid about £118 for tickets to the France RC. The food was bloody expensive and pretty crap as well from what I remember

Re: next years in Ireland. There’s no value in a day ticket, they’ve priced it in a way that a weeks ticket Tues-Sun is more sensible. Either way they’ll Sell out and have record crowds because people will pay it. For me though the France RC will be one and done, as these new prices just don’t equate VFM £500 for one days golf or the £700 I’ve paid for a week in Rome for 2 us!

Though unrelated, several years ago it was cheaper for us to fly from the U.K. to Portugal, stay in Vilamoura, go to the Portuguese Masters than it was to go to the Open. At the time we were paying €11 each for the PM, having paid £65 each for the Open. Travel Lodge up near Edinburgh ‘v’ a 4* hotel on the Marina.

Pretty disgusting.

If they sell out at these prices then what's disgusting about charging the value people are prepared to pay for your product? Nobody is being forced to buy anything.

Without the profits from the Ryder Cup (most of which are funelled into it), the DPWorld Tour would financially collapse. Seems pretty important to make a profit then; they're really not in a financial position where they can decide to sell tickets for £100 when they could have sold them for £500...

Got the email earlier, have to say I was pretty miffed when I saw the price. Could I afford it, yes, do I want to spend that much on a day ticket, no.
