Tickets Terms and Conditions

General

Tickets are issued by the French Branch of Ryder Cup 2018 Commercial Limited (“RC18CL”), and may only be used in accordance with these Conditions, which incorporate the Ground Regulations (available at all times and before the purchase of Tickets via www.rydercup.com (the “Official 2018 Ryder Cup Website”) at: //www.rydercup.com/2018-ryder-cup-official-ground-regulations).

Each Ticket grants the end user (the “Ticket Holder”) a licence to access Le Golf National, 2 avenue du golf, 78286 Guyancourt, France (the “Venue”) for the sole purpose of attending The 2018 Ryder Cup Match (the "Event") provided these Conditions and the Ground Regulations are complied with.

Any publication of the schedule of play is provided for reference only and RC18CL reserves the right to change the schedule of play at any time at its discretion.

Reference to “Tickets” means every ticket, pass, admission, accreditation and any other mechanism, permission, authority or right by which an individual is granted or gains access to the Venue for the Event. In the event of any inconsistency between these Conditions and the terms of accreditation, the latter shall prevail.

These Conditions:

govern the use of the Tickets and are separate and in addition to the terms and conditions that govern the purchase, allocation or otherwise grant of Tickets; and
will be printed in abbreviated form on the back of each Ticket. In the event of any inconsistency between these Conditions and the abbreviated form, these Conditions shall prevail.

The Ground Regulations are those regulations that apply to or in respect of the Venue (as may be amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time). It is therefore recommended that the Ticket Holder refers regularly to the latest version of the Ground Regulations permanently available at: //www.rydercup.com/2018-ryder-cup-official-ground-regulations.

Regarding Tickets already purchased, it is acknowledged that amendments to the Ground Regulations may be required for security or other operational reasons or due to force majeure and accordingly those amendments shall apply immediately so as to be enforceable against the Ticket Holder.

If the Ticket Holder seeks to impose any terms and conditions contrary to these Conditions and the Ground Regulations those terms and conditions shall not be enforceable against RC18CL unless otherwise expressly accepted by RC18CL.

Admission

Admission to the Venue will only be authorised upon presentation of a valid Ticket. Admission to the Venue will be permitted during such hours, and access shall be given to such areas, as specified on the Ticket or as published on or accessible via the Official 2018 Ryder Cup Website.

Tickets sold by or obtained from any source other than RC18CL will NOT be valid.

RC18CL reserves the right to require each Ticket Holder to provide RC18CL with any or all of a passport photograph that shows a true and accurate likeness of the Ticket Holder, his/her date of birth, full name, postal and email address or phone number or otherwise register as required. Each Ticket Holder must also carry and, if so requested, present a valid photo ID (such as passport or driving licence) to validate the aforementioned information in order to gain admission.

RC18CL may refuse admission to or eject from the Venue without refund a Ticket Holder who:

does not produce a valid Ticket upon request; and/or
is in breach of any of the Conditions (including the Ground Regulations); and/or
fails to comply with instructions given for safety, security, organisational or operational reasons from any person authorised by RC18CL, including Ryder Cup related and Venue staff, contractors, officials, representatives, officers, volunteers, stewards or other security personnel, police officers and/or emergency or military services (each an “Authorised Person”); and/or
disturbs the course of the Event or impairs the safety of persons or the security of goods; and/or

fails to produce valid photo ID upon request; and/or
is the subject of any judicial or administrative measure prohibiting him/her from entering into or being in the vicinity of a venue in which a sporting event is taking place.

The Ground Regulations contain detailed lists of Prohibited Items and conduct and each Ticket Holder shall fully comply with any restrictions contained therein and any breach of Ground Regulations may result in the Ticket Holder being ejected from the Venue or demarcated area. In particular, without limiting the foregoing:

Ticket Holders leaving the Venue will not be re-admitted;
signs/banners/clothing or any other item which may be used for ambush marketing will not be permitted; and
save for any camera embedded in any smart phone, traditional cameras are not permitted and may not be used at the Venue other than on practice days.

Ticket Holders may be searched prior to entry into or within the Venue. Thus, the Ticket Holder may be invited to present items he/she is carrying for inspection. Any Ticket Holder refusing to be subject to controls, hand searches and inspections shall be denied access to the Venue or shall be ejected from the Venue.

Prohibited Items (as defined in the Ground Regulations) will not be permitted within the Venue. Accordingly, security staff may oblige the Ticket Holder bearing any Prohibited Item to leave it outside the Venue or surrender the same, should he/she wish to enter or remain within the Venue. In case of refusal, the Ticket Holder shall be denied access to or be ejected from the Venue.

No alcohol may be brought into the Venue.

As a result, no member of the RCE Group shall be liable to pay any indemnification or damages in this respect.

RC18CL shall not refund the purchase price of the Ticket (and shall have no liability for any further sums) where play is totally or partially cancelled or postponed due to an unforeseeable and insurmountable act of a third party or force majeure as defined under Article 1218 of the French Civil Code or recognised by French courts.

In the absence of any play, the purchase price of the Ticket shall be reimbursed to the Ticket Holder.

In the event of the postponement of the day, or part day, for which play was intended, the Ticket shall not be valid for the rearranged date. RC18CL shall therefore refund the purchase price of the Ticket to the Ticket Holder except where such postponement is due to an unforeseeable and insurmountable act of a third party or force majeure as defined under Article 1218 of the French Civil Code or recognised by French courts.

In the event of play being extended to the following Monday, Tickets for the Sunday shall be valid for the extra day’s play (subject to the suitability of the Venue for spectators).

RC18CL will accept no responsibility if the original Ticket is stolen or mislaid and Tickets cannot be replaced or refunded in such circumstances.

The Ticket Holder shall not have any liability where the performance of his/her obligations is delayed, hindered or prevented by an unforeseeable and insurmountable act of a third party or force majeure as defined under Article 1218 of the French Civil Code or recognised by French courts. RC18CL shall refund the purchase price of the Ticket to the Ticket Holder if the Ticket Holder is prevented from attending the Event due to an unforeseeable and insurmountable act of a third party or force majeure as defined under Article 1218 of the French Civil Code or recognised by French courts.
