Latest News About Cost Of Masters Tickets 2026

Here’s the latest on Masters ticket prices for 2026.

Core update

• The Masters raised prices for 2026 compared with 2025. Tournament days (Thursday–Sunday) are priced higher, with reports indicating each four-day badge and individual daily tickets increased from prior years. This volatility reflects Augusta National’s ongoing control of ticket distribution and efforts to curb secondary-market sales.[1][2][7]

Key price points reported by multiple outlets

• Practice rounds: prices varied by day, with several outlets noting increases over 2025 levels. Specifically, practice-round tickets commonly cited around $125–$150 in various reports, depending on day, with some sources listing Wednesday Par 3 Contest at around $150.[7][1]
• Tournament rounds (Thu–Sun): price points around $160 per day in many accounts, marking a notable rise from the prior year's levels; some articles cite four-day badges approaching or surpassing the $525 range when aggregated, reflecting the overall hike.[3][4][1]
• Four-day badges: early 2026 coverage pointed to a total in the mid-$500s for a complete four-day experience, with individual day pricing also cited around the $160 range for the tournament rounds.[4][3]

Notes on how you obtain tickets

• The official Masters lottery process remains the primary authentic route to secure tickets, with applications typically open in the spring for the following year and a limit on the number of tickets per applicant. AugustaNationalInc remains the authorized seller, and resale is prohibited; winners are notified if selected and payment is due later in the year.[5][8][7]
• Secondary-market rumors and price discussions frequently surface around lottery results and close to the event, contributing to widely varying public expectations for total cost. Several outlets comment on the significant price sensitivity and the potential impact on accessibility for first-time attendees.[2][4]

Illustrative example

• If you’re planning a trip with four days of tournament rounds and want a rough total, a four-day badge around the mid-$500s plus daily practice-round costs could push the total into the $700–$1,000+ range depending on day selections and any hospitality add-ons. This aligns with reported increases across 2026 compared with 2025.[1][3][4]
