Reselling Masters tickets is prohibited, but it happens.

With limited commercial interruptions and expansive coverage of all four rounds, the Masters is as good as televised golf gets. But there’s nothing like watching the tournament in person. To attend, of course, you need to get your hands on tickets. Where do you buy them? What do they cost? Here’s everything you need to know if you hope to make it to Augusta National next spring.
How do you buy Masters tickets?
Through the tournament itself. Augusta National Inc. is the only authorized seller of Masters tickets, which are made available by lottery. Reselling tickets is strictly prohibited. But that doesn’t mean it never happens. A recent search of StubHub, for instance, showed two grounds passes for all four tournament rounds this year, offered at $15,561 each. Buying tickets this way isn’t just expensive. It’s risky. As is noted on the official Masters website, anyone caught trying to get onto the grounds of Augusta National with tickets acquired through a third party may be “excluded from attendance to the Tournament.”
When is the lottery for 2026?
Applications will be accepted June 1-June 20.
How do you apply?
On the official Masters website. You need to have an account to complete the application. If you don’t have an account, creating one is as simple as clicking a link and typing in your name and email address, with a password. When you fill out the application, you can request tickets for practice rounds, individual tournament rounds, or a four-day tournament badge. After that, you play the waiting game. The Masters will let you know if you’ve been awarded tickets or not.
How much do Masters tickets cost?
Prices have not yet been listed for 2026. But for the 2025 Masters, they were as follows:
Practice rounds (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday): $100
First round (Thursday) $140
Second round (Friday) $140
Third round: (Saturday) $140
Final round (Sunday) $140
Four-day tournament badge: (Thursday-Sunday): $450
What are the odds of winning the ticket lottery?
Better than your odds of winning the Masters. But still not very high. Because the Masters does not disclose how many people apply and how many tickets are awarded, it’s impossible to nail down a number. But bookies.com has estimated that the odds of landing single-day tickets are around 0.55 percent.
