Masters ticket application: How to register for 2026 lottery
The 2026 Masters Tournament ticket application process began Sunday. Here's how to register and more information about the process.
www.ajc.comHere’s the latest on reselling Masters tickets:
- The Masters ticket program is tightly controlled. Augusta National Golf Club says resale of any Masters ticket is strictly prohibited, and holders of tickets bought from third parties may be excluded from attendance.[2][7][8]
- In practice, tickets are distributed through a formal lottery system, and the official source remains the Masters themselves. Several major outlets have started listing Masters tickets on secondary marketplaces, but those listings are at high prices and come with warnings that entry could be denied if the tickets were obtained from unauthorized sources.[3][7][2]
- Since 2024–2025, there has been increased enforcement and crackdowns on resale by Augusta National. Some platforms have stopped selling Masters tickets, while others continue to list them, often with caveats about eligibility and official sourcing.[7][2]
What this means for you
- If you have Masters tickets, don’t attempt to resell them; you risk invalidation and denial of entry.[8][7]
- If you’re trying to attend, the legitimate path is to enter the official lottery when it opens and use only official channels for any ticket transfers or purchases from Augusta National or certified partners.[8]
- Be wary of third-party listings with extremely high prices; even if a listing is active, the seller may not be able to transfer valid tickets, and you could lose your money or entry rights.[3][7]
