Applications for the all too rare Masters Tickets also opened on Sunday. This is just the beginning of a very competitive process for golf fans looking to experience the world’s most famous tournament. The application window will be open until June 20, so there’s plenty of time for music and baseball fans alike to get their applications in. Winners will be notified in late July at the latest so they can make arrangements to be present for the live event.
In 2023, the price of Masters Tickets has skyrocketed, up $25 from $115 to $140. This price change is necessary to discourage reselling in order to protect the legitimacy of our ticket sales. It means that true fans will be able to attend the event. Augusta National, which runs the tournament, has been very clear that there is to be no resale of tickets.
Augusta National, Inc. is the exclusive and only authorized source/seller of Masters Tickets. Resale of any Masters Ticket is a serious offense and will not be tolerated in any form. Holders of Tickets acquired from third parties, by whatever means, may be excluded from attendance to the Tournament.” —Augusta National (as quoted on the organization’s website)
As Politico reports, Augusta National isn’t messing around with illicit ticket resales. This action reveals their dedication to fighting against ticket scalping and making sure that real fans are able to purchase tickets straight from the primary source. In an effort to protect the tournament’s accessibility and continue providing a genuine setting for fans and competitors, this policy has been implemented.
The excitement is at a fever pitch for this year’s Masters Tournament! Golf enthusiasts, be sure to register for tickets through the official ticketing lottery to guarantee you’re not left out. The substantial price increase may prompt some applicants to reconsider their budgets as they seek to attend this iconic golfing event.
