So, you’re all pumped up about the 2024 Masters and ready to watch seemingly endless hours of golf, imagining what it’s like to attend Augusta National’s famed event.
Masters Leaderboard: Live leaderboard, Schedule, Tee times
Maybe you joke about wanting to go to the Masters someday, and maybe that joke becomes more of a serious question, making you wonder: How do you even get tickets to the Masters?
Well, like just about everything with Augusta National, it’s not easy, and you have to win a lottery.
Unlike a lot of other sporting events, the Masters doesn’t just put tickets on sale. Each year, the tournament asks fans to fill out an application and then hope for the best. If you’re selected, then you have the option to buy tickets.
In 2023 for those who won the lottery, tickets for practice rounds were $100 each while tournament days were $140 each, according to Golf.com.
For the 2025 Masters, applications will be accepted from June 1-20, per the Masters site.
And if you don’t win the Masters lottery, as Golf.com notes:
Now, if you still want to go to the Masters but don’t win the lottery, there is a secondary market, but it’s not cheap. Tickets for practice rounds this year start around $700, and a ticket for Masters Sunday will cost you at least $1,000.
