Ryder Cup Ticketing Frequently Asked Questions

How do I purchase tickets for The 2010 Ryder Cup?
Tickets to The 2010 Ryder Cup were allocated by way of two ballots, the second of which closed at Midnight on Wednesday 21st April.

Why is there a ballot system?
Demand for tickets to  The Ryder Cup increases at each Match with more people than ever applying for tickets in 2006. As a result, a ballot has been chosen as the fairest way to distribute our tickets.

Will I need to send in a photograph?
In order to facilitate entry to the event, all public tickets will have the photograph of the person who has applied for their ticket. This will also meet the strict security requirements set by the security authorities and ensure that the public tickets remain in public hands. You will only be required to send in a photograph if your entry into the ballot is successful.
