## Resource

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 dives into Irish sport. Listen for free on the Irish Examiner website or wherever you get your podcasts. Get in touch with Maurice on maurice.brosnan@examiner.ie. Hosted on Acast.
