Strategy How Much Does It Cost to Attend The Masters? #golf|Golf for Beginners

Well you still can attend, but the fee might also have you ever watching from your Big Screen TV as an alternative...

With The Masters golfing tournament only a few weeks away, emails from companies promoting tickets to tour prices coercing me to wait, muddle my mailbox. Here are a number of the "offers" (?) to wait the first essential occasion of the season.

I changed into sent this observe from a Priceline.Com consultant - Priceline.Com and on-line price ticket marketplace TiqIQ.Com have analyzed the costs to attend the occasion, both the practice rounds and the event itself.

Priceline Travel Editor Brian Ek cautioned to me that lodge charges and tickets at some stage in the practice rounds are plenty much less high priced. "Tickets are a chunk tougher to come back by means of, however fees for the early practice rounds are approximately a 3rd to 1-half of the cost of a tournament price tag."

So, how tons does it value to attend The Masters?

According to TiqIQ?S Jesse Lawrence, the common fee of a secondary-marketplace ticket for exercise rounds is $362.67 for Monday, $502.Sixty nine for Tuesday, and $1,029 for Wednesday.

Okay, seize your breath...It is time for ticket charges at some point of The Masters:

On April 9th, one-day tickets are averaging $1,460.62 for Thursday, $1,233.06 for Friday, $1,167.39 for Saturday, and $1,403.63 for Sunday.  A four-day pass for the tournament is approximately $4,442.40.

After searching the Internet to check those figures, I came across Ticket City which threw me for a bigger loop (not anymore); The Master Par-3 Package on April 7th was selling for $2,942 with a $545 service charge! Correction: Marketing and Communications Director For Ticket City, Ashley Kubiszyn, sent me an email after reading my blog mentioning that this price is for a practice round ticket, a Wednesday  badge and 3 nights of lodging.

WAIT!! Once you've got secured the Masters tickets, you'll need an area to live!

Last-minute Masters' inns are probably difficult to find in Augusta but I became sent an e-mail from Melissa at Augusta?S newly renovated ancient Partridge Inn which she informed me of special Masters charges starting at $549.00 ...She did now not mention whether or not this fee is in step with night so, in case you are planning this remaining-minute tour, please make certain you touch them for details.

For that price, you could play a round of golf atPebble Beach, Spyglass Hill and stay at Spanish Bay! Hmmm...interesting thought.

Add in meals (vacationers will want to try a pimento sandwich), souvenirs, Masters hat, towel, etc. And the full value? PRICELESS!
