How to get tickets for the 2021 Masters

Perhaps it’s the Sunday replay of Tiger finally winning another green jacket, or the Saturday replay of Phil Mickelson finally winning his first. Perhaps it’s Monday’s news that this year’s Masters was rescheduled for early November. Or maybe just because it’s the Masters.

Entry is needed into Augusta National Golf Club. For 2021, circle Monday, June 1, 2020, in green marker on the calendar – the day the Masters website will open applications for tickets for next year.

Here’s how to jump when May ends. First, go to the Masters tickets site here and either sign in with your existing account or create an account. From there, select which days you want to apply for. (You can apply for all days, but you are eligible to win only one.) This year’s limit for $75 tickets for practice rounds on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday was four, and the limit for $115 tickets for competitive rounds on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday was two. Potential patrons are limited to one application per address, and you must be 21 or older to apply.

All applicants will find out via an email likely in July whether they’ll be able to purchase tickets for the next April Masters.

For 2020, secondary markets are offering tickets in the four-figure range. However, Augusta National does not condone Masters tickets being sold this way, and tournament organizers have a sophisticated security system to prevent non-lottery winners from using secondary market tickets. In addition, badge holders caught selling their tickets have been punished in the past.

There’s also a carefully worded statement on the Masters website that could provide hope. Under a question and answer page, a question is written: “Will any additional practice rounds and/or daily tournament tickets be available for the rescheduled dates?” The answer: “At this time, we do not anticipate any additional tickets will be available. Should this change, tickets would be allocated through our normal application process.”
