Arena with Maurice Brosnan: Ryder Cup ticket prices and the modern fan’s dilemma

This week, we’re joined by Colin Sheridan to talk about the price
of tickets for the Ryder Cup and other big sporting events
currently.


Ryder Cup tickets made exclusively available to Irish fans,
priced at €499 each, sold out in under an hour last Friday,
while practice day (€89) and weekly tickets (€1,999) sold out in
under four hours.


Colin explores the evolving relationship between fans and elite
sporting events. As prices continue to rise, what alternatives
exist for supporters who are priced out? And what does this shift
mean for a younger generation’s connection to live sport?


Arena, a new podcast from the Irish Examiner, offers weekly deep
