- Prices have increased for 2026 Masters tickets. Tournament-round badges rose to about $160 per day, with four-day passes around $525, reflecting a year-over-year hike and the ongoing crackdown on secondary-market tickets. This means expect higher outlays if you're planning to attend in person.[1][4]
- The Masters maintains a strict, official lottery system for ticket allocation. Applications open annually in early June (through June 20) and winners are notified later in July; only a limited number of tickets are available relative to demand, so competition remains intense.[2][3]
- Augusta National emphasizes that the organization is the sole authorized source for Masters tickets, and resale or purchase from third parties can lead to disqualification. If you don’t win the lottery, options to attend are generally limited and require either alternative arrangements or plans for future years.[1][2]
Illustrative example
- If you’re targeting the 2027 Masters, you should plan for continued price adjustments and ensure you rely on the official lottery channel for eligibility. A four-day badge is roughly the best value among options and provides access to all rounds across Thursday–Sunday, but it’s still a substantial investment.[4][2]
