New to buying tix to Masters. These prices about normal? I know they are always kinda high. Is there usually a dip closer to event?

[dmbolp]

This year is extremely high (COVID & Tiger effects); there should be an increase in inventory and a drop in price; soon

Shout out to Dmbolp for sticking on topic for what this thread is supposed to be about!

 

For the other dudes debating the philosophy of scalpers…. move that crap to your private messages.  Ain’t nobody got time for that.  

Ah the first post.  Here's a little education:  No one forces you to read any of it.

Googling FT SMITH AR TICKET PRINTING reveals: https://worldwideticketcraft.com/

 

Maybe it's them.  Don't have an old ticket handy, but that barcode and number on the two left tickets looks very familiar...

[dmbolp]

A couple other dynamics we should keep track of us we get closer:

 

LMS (Last Minute Services) - Ability to pick up tickets at the Stubhub location near the course.  Currently UPS shipping is probably the only Stubhub delivery option for tickets.  Once original purchasers have tickets in hand from ANGC, they can ship them directly to Stubhub and list them as LMS.  This is probably the safest way to sell and buy...can't get lost in the mail, but not many sellers will probably do this.

 

Weather - Too soon now, but if there's a good chance of rain/weather, prices historically go way down.  It's very last minute, but something to keep in mind.

[Greg Russell]

Prices are coming down as you predicted. FYI, if you buy a single ticket they are just a little higher than the "lowest" price while buying 2..I have Tuesday coming via stubhub,  waiting a little on Monday purchase.

[dmbolp]

110 more tickets than yesterday (33% increase).  12 hours ago there were no TUE under $1,300; now there are 34.   And there were no WED under $1,800; now there are 43.

 

Should see big inventory jumps tomorrow/FRI as tickets arrive.

How do you see how many tickets are available on each day?

[Augusta97]

I’ve been to the masters 3 times. 2002, 2005 and 2009. We had weekly badges through a corporate sponsor but didn’t have enough for our group. Every year on practice round days we would buy tickets on Washington Rd. Very easy transaction and no threat at all. Payed anywhere from $150-$300 per ticket. Screw stub hub, never paying over a grand for a practice round ticket….that’s ridiculous!!!
