Masters Tickets

Unless things have changed somewhat recently.. the badges while attached to an account aren’t attached to a person. There are brokers selling packages every year and ive personally used badges from a few account holders, none I even knew..

For 2028. He already has them promised to others the next two years. Apparently he hasn't been able to attend himself in quite a few years.

I can see that, but generally the people involved in this sport are down to earth, high character folks. We have travelled all over the country with him competing, and don't meet very many people that are shady. He donates free lessons to kids all the time, so him getting taken advantage of really isn't what I'm concerned about. He will enjoy giving the lessons regardless. I just don't want to rent a hotel or Airbnb and not get in the gate. Lol.

It’s a groomer. Tell your son to steer clear.

Your son turns tricks for old men at the country club. For promises that will likely go unfulfilled with next years jv class.

Sorry you had to find out like this

They confiscated 100s of badges this year. They allowed the people in with a complimentary 1 day pass but took the badge. My group rents a house every year and it comes with 8 badges for daily entry. The man and wife who rent the house to us each have 4 badges that were passed down to them when the grandfather clause was still a thing.

Augusta National has a system now that pings and tracks badges patterns of movements. Starting around Wednesday this year, they were pulling people aside at the entry gates and questioning the origin of the badges. They were asking whose name the badges were in and if you didn’t know who the original patron was, they were taking the badges. Our daily client groups were briefed to say they were friends of the actual badge holders. We had a script. One dude didn’t listen and said he was there as a guest of our company. His badge was confiscated and he was allowed entry with a complimentary pass.

The fact is that Augusta National is going to cash in on the premium secondary market instead of allowing all of the brokers to pocket the insane markup. They have partnered with one single premium broker who will have exclusivity in premium sales. All confiscated badges do not go back into the waiting list lottery. They are being turned over to this exclusive broker who will sell on behalf of ANGC while keeping a percentage.

He had an older man approach him today after he was done practicing and offer 2 full passes to the Masters in exchange for four one hour lessons. This is a man he is acquainted with and who seems trustworthy. The man has had the grandfathered in passes since the 70's.

fella is hoping to hold your boy’s wee wee in his mouth until the swelling goes down

My wife and I lucked out last year with the lottery.

It took me all of ten seconds to decide to sell them.

You heard wrong. He will go straight in and do not pass on these. I go every year and sell some so piece of cake.
