"Pricing for the tickets has drawn criticism, with daily general admission priced at €499 each for the three days of play on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The prices were described as 'elitist' and 'selective' by the Consumers' Association of Ireland."
"Following the backlash, organisers defended the increased ticket prices, with chief Ryder Cup officer Richard Atkinson saying they were in line with other major sporting events. 'We acknowledge it's an increase from Rome. That was four years ago and a lot has happened in the world since then,' Mr Atkinson told the BBC."
The Ryder Cup tournament is scheduled for September 17-19 at a Limerick course, with practice days available earlier. A ticket sale for Irish residents saw over 57,000 in the digital queue. Many faced technical issues while trying to purchase tickets, and pricing has been criticized, with general admission at €499 for three days. Organizers defended the prices, stating they align with other major sporting events, despite backlash over the increase from previous years.
