Anyone on this Board attending the Ryder Cup this week?
I didn't get tickets, initially, because I couldn't be gone the entire week. As it turns out, Friday opened up so I started looking for tickets a couple of months ago, monitoring the online ticket exchanges, primarily StubHub and PrimeSport (which is the "official" exchange site). For maybe once I got extraordinarily lucky on the tickets.
I really expected ticket prices to plummet as we neared the time of the event. There were a ton of tickets available online, and people were pretty proud of them.
Finally, last Wednesday night I decided to pull the trigger because I was going to be out of town this past Thursday-Sunday. Got three tickets for this Friday at $158/ticket, which was actually the lowest I'd seen them since I started monitoring. Tickets arrived this past Friday.
I was dreading what would happen to ticket prices once I pulled the trigger, figuring I'd see tickets listed at $100 or less by this week. Pleasantly surprised to see that apparently there has been a run on tickets and prices are now climbing to a point $100 or more than what I paid a few days ago. Looks like I actually timed the price to be the low water mark, something I usually reserve for my stock sales.
