Presidents Cup Resale Ticket Prices Drop Below Face Value
The Presidents Cup is expecting up to 150,000 fans this week.
Medinah, Illinois – Resale ticket prices for the upcoming Presidents Cup, a biennial team golf event, have fallen below their face value as the tournament approaches on Thursday at Medinah Country Club. While face value passes for the four-day competition range from $119 to $184, resale tickets on platforms like SeatGeek are selling for approximately $20 to $30 less, depending on the day.
The Presidents Cup pits U.S. golfers against international teams from countries outside of Europe. Each day features different match formats, with a total of 12 singles matches on the final day. The PGA Tour, organizer of the Presidents Cup, anticipates up to 150,000 spectators throughout the week. General admission tickets have not sold out at any point.
Premium options, such as access to the Captains’ Club with free beer and alcoholic seltzers, are also experiencing significant discounts. On average, the cheapest day for Captains’ Club tickets costs around $354, but resale prices are roughly $200 lower than face value, ranging from $143 to $220. Two fans reportedly purchased a Captains’ Club ticket for the practice round for just over $40, equivalent to four Michelob Ultras at general concession stands.
The drop in resale prices follows a similar trend at the PGA Championship in May, when the tournament held at Aronimink Golf Club in Philadelphia also saw a decline in resale prices. Rainstorms in Medinah late last week and cooler temperatures early in the week have not impacted the weather forecast during the Presidents Cup, with temperatures expected to rise back into the 70s over the weekend.
Medinah is located about 25 miles from downtown Chicago, in the suburbs past O’Hare International Airport.
