This is my second rejection - have a lot of catching up to do.....
Has anyone used the local groups for secondary tickets?
People such as azalea hospitality or champion sports travel?

I'd go with them before individuals.
I may have to go that route if I can't find a connection

Anyone have any experience on the process of getting a phone in/approved as a medical device? Type 1 diabetic on insulin pump/continuous glucose monitoring looping that has to be done thru phone. A lot of online chatter about their being a way, and figure my best bet is to call them and ask. Curious if anyone had past experience?
And sorry, no not going to be a reason I give up my ticket.
I'd be curious about this as well. I am also a T1D and went in 2019, but this was before I had my Dexcom.
I have a friend who is also a T1D and she works the concessions every year. I imagine that there are different rules if you're working though. I can check with her to see if she has any info

Yeah, the secondhand market has gotten absolutely outrageous because people have stopped selling that way. Once the Masters started pulling people out of line to interview them about how they got their tickets - and then revoking (permanently) if there was a hint of aftermarket flavor to it, it dried up. Seatgeek won't sell them at all
Yep. The second-hand market is VERY risky now. Thus fewer tickets are being sold.
BY FAR the best way to get in unless you have a badge is the asking patrons leaving method after 1 p.m.
I would imagine that the majority of the patrons leaving early may want to hold onto their paper ticket as a souvenir.

Some do. Yes. I have been 11 times, and I only have 4 credentials/badges -- 1993, 2012, 2015 and 2019 -- here in my home office. And there's a lot of golf crap here. I probably gave away 3 or 4 to people who asked me for mine as I was leaving.
All I know is that I am 4 for 4 in getting a badge this way (asking strangers at around 1 p.m.) Of course, each time, I had my own badge the following day. I was just out there a day early and wanted to get in that afternoon.
This way works.
To soothe some of the ticket rejection I am willing to trade some of my Berckman's Place merchandise from this year's Masters in exchange for 4 tickets to an Aggie football game. We don't care about the opponent, prefer non-night games as we are bringing young kiddos. This is an unworn hat and polo, you can't get these at the main golf shops at AGNC. These easily sell for big $$$ online but we would rather trade with an Aggie. The shirt is a L and the hat is adjustable. If you need someone to vouch for me several posters here know me and a few saw me at the Masters this year. Send me your offers.....
I'm going to try this Tuesday and Wednesday. Which area do you recommend wandering around in to ask folks as they leave?

Won't work on Wednesday. I'd ask Tuesday after 1 p.m. or so near back gate as they leave and head to parking lot. Or maybe ask someone on TexAgs that is going Tuesday if you can use their re-entry, as long as you return their badge to them.
Just ask if you can use their ticket if they're going home. Just ask with a smile.
The key here is not to PAY for someone else's badge That's against ANGC rules. But giving away your badge for re-entry is not against ANGC rules.
Thank you!
Year 2 rejected after drawing in 2024 (11 years in)
BIL Drew 4 for Wednesday, I'm going back with him. Hopefully a better experience

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Got 2 tickets for Tues practice round and 2 for Thurs tourney round for the Open? Especially at The Old Course? Is this normal? And looks like it is all or nothing - can't pick and choose.
The Masters lottery is poorly and not equitably run
I hate tu. It's in my blood.

That's a bold and accusatory claim. What's the evidence to support that?

What are you basing this on?

Not sure about the poorly part. They make it pretty easy and give you all the time in the world to make your plans if you win.
The equitable part is debatable. Ive always said they should make you pay up front for the tickets you order, but they seem to have cracked down on on resellers which is good.
One idea that they could implement would be earning more points or something for consecutive entries that have not been drawn. Maybe tailor something where youd almost be guaranteed to get tickets after 10 or 15 consecutive entries. Then reset that household back to zero and start over again. Could be complicated but Augusta can find smart people to run that.
My son and I have independently applied for over 15 years. They should do it similar to the Colorado hunting license draw. Where you get a priority point for every year you have applied but have not drawn. That way some do not draw multiple times while others never have

If it was "for the people" they would do something similar. But I don't think it is …
You may not like it, but it is equitable each year, which is their design. Equal opportunity for everyone each year.MagnumLoad said:

I agree with a lot of ideas (pay in advance for tickets, point system), but Augusta doesn't and that's their prerogative. Doesn't make it not fair.
But your two posts are just *****ing for *****ing's sake. Your ~30 entries aren't ***** Based on odds, it'd take over 200-some-odd entires to probabilistically be chosen. I posted the math on here one time. My extended family and I are actually approaching that number. But do us all a favor and keep your drive-by *****ing to yourself.

How does that equate to it being poorly run?
IMO. nothing about the Masters is poorly run. It's by far the best run sporting event out there.
1990-1991 you could literally show up at the gate Monday morning ($10). Tuesday ($15). Wednesday ($20). Pay cash and you're in. Started "applying 20 years ago.. Finally this year won 4 for Wednesday. I liked the 90's better. Ha
Reality is we don't really know their full process so it's hard to criticize it. I do like how they use real addresses and crack down on the aftermarket, but I do like the idea of requiring payment to enter. That said, this is a ridiculously popular ticket, has only gotten more insane since covid, and it's now also pop culture/instagram/tiktok famous because it's really trendy to like the Masters even for non-golf fans.
What we are seeing is simply what happens when your odds are most likely well under 3-4% and some have estimated as low as 0.5%. Regardless of method, you're gonna be SOL the vast majority of the time

Hope they don't crack the code to your userid or you're never getting picked.
I had a friend win 4 tickets to a practice round. I'm pretty pumped to finally get to go after 15 years of being rejected.

I have been to the Masters. The tournament is very well run. IMO the draw is not. It is not unreasonable that those that have drawn should go to the back of the line for some period of time. That time period can be argued. Your personal venom is not warranted. Hopefully you get to feeling better.
I hate tu. It's in my blood.
I'm in Fort Worth too. And got drawn for Thursday. Are you using all 4 of your Wednesday tickets?
Currently yes. However, it's not 100% at this point. Sister In Law isn't exactly "jumping for joy" at the moment re. the invitation, so things could change.
uhh.... we should chat offline....
I get why they did it but I hate that they've cracked down on the secondary market so hard. It was expensive but at least it made going possible. Now, it's pretty much get lucky in the lottery or sit on your couch and watch on tv.
