Everything you need to know about Masters tickets
Masters tickets are among the toughest to get in the whole world of sports — but it is possible! Wondering how? Here's everything you need to know.
golf.comHere’s a concise update on Masters tickets.
-
Masters ticket prices and availability are controlled through Augusta National’s official channels, with a lottery system used to allocate a limited number of badges each year. In recent coverage, face-value prices for tournament days have been in the low hundreds, and there have been year-over-year increases tied to efforts to crack down on the secondary market.[1]
-
The lottery application window typically opens in the spring (often June) and winners are notified a few months later, after which payment is required to secure tickets. Prices and process details can vary by year, so it’s best to check the official Masters Tickets site for the current cycle.[5]
-
If you’re researching options beyond the lottery, primary marketplaces and ticket-seller sites sometimes list Masters-related experiences or “Masters On Stage” style events, but those are separate from the competitive Masters tournament badges. Availability and legitimacy vary, so verify with the official source before purchasing.[3][6]
-
For planning, expect significant competition and the possibility of higher prices on secondary markets if you miss the official lottery, though the official route remains the recommended path to secure attendance.[4][1]
Illustration: If you’re aiming to attend in 2026, you’d typically submit an entry to the Masters ticket lottery during the official window, wait for the notification, and, if selected, complete the purchase before the deadline. Then you’d receive the tickets by mail ahead of the tournament.[5]
