General admission tickets for the 2027 Ryder Cup have now sold out at the conclusion of the ballot process following unprecedented global demand to attend next year’s contest at Adare Manor, in Limerick, Ireland.
Fans who were successful in the ballot process were informed over the last seven days, with those people joining fans who had previously secured their tickets in the exclusive island of Ireland priority window in May, which sold out in under an hour.
Following the allocation of tickets, fans from 80 different countries will be part of the 100-year anniversary edition of the Ryder Cup.
The island of Ireland understandably has the largest representation, comprising 34 per cent of the overall spectator numbers as Ireland hosts the Ryder Cup for the first time since 2006.
Richard Atkinson, the European Tour group’s Chief Ryder Cup Officer, said: “We always thought there would be huge global interest in the 2027 Ryder Cup, but the demand for tickets we received throughout the entire process has been nothing short of remarkable.
“We could have sold out our general admission tickets more than 12 times over, which is testament to the appeal of golf’s greatest team contest, as well as the passion of fans who want to be part of it.
“Next year’s Ryder Cup at Adare Manor promises to be a truly special occasion and we look forward to welcoming international visitors to Limerick to experience the very best of Irish hospitality as well as an historic sporting event.”
The overall attendance across the Ryder Cup week, from September 13-19, 2027, is expected to exceed 250,000, with a daily site capacity of 55,000.
Despite general admission tickets being sold out, there are still opportunities for people seeking to attend next year’s Ryder Cup, with bespoke travel inclusive packages and a limited number of premium experiences available via rydercup.com.
For residents of the island of Ireland, thousands of tickets will also be available for Tuesday’s practice day as part of the ‘SuperValu Community Day’ courtesy of Musgrave, Ireland’s leading food retail, wholesale, and foodservice business. Full details of this initiative and how to apply for tickets will be announced later this year.
Fans who were successful in the ballot can also secure their accommodation for next year via rydercup.com, with options including the Official Ryder Cup campsite which offers entertainment as well as having its own designated entrance to Adare Manor.
Europe will attempt to win the Ryder Cup for the third successive time following victories in 2023 at Marco Simone in Rome, Italy, and in 2025 at Bethpage in New York. Luke Donald led Team Europe on both of those occasions and returns as Captain in Adare Manor for 2027 aiming to become the first Captain in the history of the Ryder Cup from either side to win three times in a row. The US Team will be led by Jim Furyk, who also returns to the role of Captain having led the United States at the 2018 Ryder Cup in France.
