Where to buy, when sales open, what you'll pay, and how to avoid scams
masters.com — the practice round lottery and club-approved hospitality partners; the series badge waitlist has been closed for years.
Practice round lottery applications run through the summer (typically June onward) for the following April, with winners notified by email in the fall; tournament badges surface only on the secondary market.
Practice round tickets roughly $75-150 at face value; secondary-market tournament badges $1,000-2,000+ per day; hospitality packages $2,000-5,000+.
Masters badges are heavily counterfeited — buy only through brokers with guarantees against invalid badges or via official hospitality. Never wire money to individual sellers on social media; the club validates serial numbers at the gates and confiscated badges come with no refund.

How to get to the venue and navigate the city
Augusta Regional Airport (AGS) has limited direct flights — mostly from Atlanta, Charlotte, and Dallas. Most visitors fly into Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta (ATL) and drive 2.5 hours east to Augusta. Savannah (SAV) and Columbia (CAE) are closer alternatives within 1-2 hours.
A car is strongly recommended for the Masters. Augusta is a car-dependent city with limited rideshare coverage. Rental cars at ATL are cheapest; AGS rentals book up months in advance. Book parking passes in advance — Augusta National parking lots require pre-purchased permits.
Augusta National runs an extensive off-site parking and shuttle system from satellite lots around Augusta. Free shuttles run continuously from designated lots from 6 AM to 8 PM on tournament days. The main shuttle lot is at the corner of Washington and Wheeler Roads.

Airport arrivals, transit options, and match-day timing
Augusta Regional (AGS) has limited flights via Atlanta, Charlotte, and Dallas; most visitors fly Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta (ATL) and drive 2.5 hours east on I-20.
There is no practical public transit — a rental car is essential, with free shuttles looping from pre-purchased permit lots (the main lot sits at Washington and Wheeler Roads) on tournament days.
Arrive before 7 AM to beat the Washington Road crush — allow an hour for what is normally a 15-minute drive, and pre-book parking permits the moment your badges are confirmed.
