SWMBO and I have secured lodging for the 2020 Ryder Cup but both of our volunteer apps were turned down. Our lottery entries to buy tickets are still outstanding. We plan to attend our time-share reservation and hope to get in via scalpers if the lottery fails. If anyone has access to tix and can't use them, just let me know. I know it's early, but you never know...................

    sdandrea1 - I bought my pair of tickets the Ryder Cup in Louisville online in the secondary market a few weeks ahead of the event. Actually, I ended up buying the 'International Pavillion' upgrade option which was a humongous tent, air-conditioned, no food lines, big screen televisions, more than an adequate number of bathroom facilities, and supposedly upgraded menu selections. The eye candy was a plus. I paid about what the face value of the general admission tickets would have cost because all tickets were selling at a discount when I pulled the trigger on the buy.

    A dear friend rolled the dice and drove down to Louisville from Indianapolis without tickets. He was planning to wait until he got to the course to seriously start looking for tickets but stuck two fingers up in the air indicating he needed a pair at the main parking lot (shuttle buses in/out from Churchill Downs that year). So, a guy walked up to him and sold him a pair of CORPORATE PASSES to the ESPN hospitality tent! Less than what I paid!

    You have the right attitude to still go in and do a little trolling for your tickets just prior to or even around the event.

        sdandrea1 - I'm 99% sure I used one of my trusty online ticket buying services: Ebay or Stub Hub. My son-in-law (living in Lexington, KY) thought he had connections to get us comped but a couple of weeks before the tourney told me to go ahead and buy through my source. 7 years later I don't think I could find a trace of the transaction.

          How did you find out you did not get tix through the lottery? I entered, but did not receive any communication back. Where are you staying? If you want to tee it up while you are here let me know...assuming I am still in WI (I am trying my best to escape to somewhere that the winter doesn't last 5 months).
          If it turns out I get tickets, I will let you know as I may have a couple extra.

              CORRECTION: We got emails telling us we would not be selected as Marshalls/volunteers. We are still in the ticket lottery. I think September this year we'll know. So we still might need tickets.

              We traded into a timeshare near Sheboygan so we have all week and plan to play some golf. Let's tentatively plan on teeing it up!

              Thanks for the possible ticket offer!
