Fan experience at the 2024 Masters: What you need to know at Augusta National
With no restrictions on patrons, either in COVID regulations or attendance, here's a good refresher on what you need to know before you enter Augusta National Golf Club this week. For more answers to questions, go to Masters.com, choose "more" and "patrons".
Can I get Masters tickets?
No tickets are sold at the gate. Tournament or “series” badges have been sold to those on the patron list, which is full.
Augusta National Golf Club is the only authorized ticket source. No refunds, rain checks, exchanges or replacements will be made if the course is closed because of weather or for other safety reasons.
Applications for 2024 tickets have not yet opened. In order to be considered, create an account for the random selection process at masters.com, then click "more" and "tickets." Previous applicants and new registrants will be notified via email when the 2024 ticket application is online.
How much is a Masters ticket for a child?
Children ages 8-16 can attend free on tournament days when accompanied by an accredited patron (the person whose name is on the series badge application). One child per patron.
The junior program doesn’t apply to volunteers, employees or business partners who receive or purchase series badges.
Juniors need not be related to the patron. Juniors must register at the North Gate, and the patron must provide a driver’s license.
