2026 Masters Ticket Lottery Is Open, With a Price Increase
The price hike comes after Augusta National reportedly had to crack down on the secondary market for tickets this past year.
www.si.comHere’s what’s known about Masters ticket costs for 2026, based on recent reporting:
- Four-day tournament badges (Thursday–Sunday) were priced at about $160 per day in 2026, totaling around $525 for the four days in some coverage, reflecting a notable increase from prior years. This was tied to an ongoing crackdown on secondary-market sales.[2][6]
- Practice-round tickets and single-day options saw price adjustments as well, with practice rounds generally priced lower than tournament days but still higher than in some previous years. Specific practice-round prices varied by day, but the overall trend was upward alongside the tournament-day increases.[5][2]
Extras and notes:
- The Masters uses a lottery system for ticket allocation. Applicants must apply within the stated window (typically in mid-year for the next year’s event), and payment is collected if selected. Resale of Masters tickets is strictly prohibited by Augusta National.[9][5]
- Price increases were partly attributed to efforts to curb secondary-market sales and maintain event exclusivity.[2][5]
