Not a lot of use 2 tickets for the Tuesday if travelling all the way from Ireland!! I had applied for 4 week long passes.

Anyone else apply and receive a reply???

Yeah, BF and I both did and neither of us got anything. A guy in work, like you, got offered one of the practice days. The e-mail said that I might still get tickets, depending on take-up. Don't know how you'd be fixed if you turn the Tuesday down - does that mean you'd be excluded from further consideration?

Mail says nothing about any other offers so I guess thats my lot!!

Sent them a (slightly!) snotty email re: cost of getting there versus watching practice day.... Just to get it off my chest!!

I would rather get no offer than what they gave me!!

MetalMan9 · 12-10-2011, 09:56

I just checked what I looked for and I only chose 2 possible options (International Pavillion and Thurs-Sun in that order of preference). That way, I'd either get one of those options or nothing. I think if you didn't specify your order of preference, you could end up with anything (as a best available).

k.p.h · 12-10-2011, 11:22

Yeah I get email yesterday

Fail. Would much rather get lucky in The Masters draw TBH

Tykegolfer · 12-10-2011, 19:17

Wife got Friday and Wed x 4, we only need two so if anyone got Sat or Sun happy to swap and pay difference if they are transferable (haven't checked T&C's yet)

My email was blank, anyone else get a blank email!

KPH - how do you go about applying for Masters tickets as a matter of interest?

You register here and then you will get email notification to apply when the draw opens.The 2012 tickets are drawn all ready so 2013 the next opportunity. Its a long shot really as the amount of tickets each year is relatively small, but would be incredible if got lucky enough to be pulled out.

We got lucky. Had about 14 applications for 4 for Sat and Sun. One of them came up! Happy days!

Tykegolfer · 16-10-2011, 17:55

Lucky B

Still hoping people who were allocated decide not to take up the offer! Long shot I know!

We will prob have spares for Fri , hoping to use them as a partial swap so hanging on to them for now we defo going as have family living in Chicago so ideal opportunity to visit

finbarrk · 17-10-2011, 09:23

If they do a ticket system that will have your passport number and pic on the tickets it will make swaping and exchanging difficult.

itsjaybud · 22-02-2012, 02:22

Living in New York so the Ryder Cup is def. on the cards for a few of us this year.

A couple of things that a few people on the golf thread might be able to help me out with.

What is the face value of Saturday and Sunday GA tickets?

We are badly looking for tickets, where the best place to get them?

Stubhub have them for $300 each atm, can any one recommend buying tickets anywhere esle?

itsjaybud · 23-02-2012, 18:59

bump!

Lester Freamon · 12-08-2012, 18:59

What are the chances of picking up any tickets at a reasonable at this stage I wonder?
