Ryder Cup Rout Sends Sunday Ticket Prices Tumbling at Bethpage

A lopsided European lead entering singles has drained demand on the resale market.

Overview

  • Europe takes an 11.5–4.5 advantage into Sunday and needs only 2.5 points to retain the Ryder Cup.
  • Get‑in prices for Sunday fell more than 60% below the $750 face value, dropping under $300 on major resale sites by Saturday evening.
  • Some Sunday Ryder Cup+ tickets were listed around $262 on StubHub and VividSeats, with SeatGeek starting about $383, according to listings cited in reports.
  • The PGA of America set match‑day tickets at $750 and defended the move as appropriate for a tier‑one event in a major metro area, prompting criticism given Bethpage Black’s public‑course identity.
  • A Business Insider estimate put a typical single‑day outlay near $1,255 for a New York attendee, with added local markups including about $100 driveway parking and steep hotel and rental rates.
