Getting Masters Tickets is Like Winning the Lottery

The process for getting 2012 Masters tickets has recently changed, making it possible for a small number of people to gain coveted access to this famous sporting event. In the past, the Augusta National Golf Club did not sell Masters tickets directly to the public, but they are now doing a lottery for a small number of tickets.

Most of the available tickets are for practice rounds, but some tournament tickets are also included in the lottery. The process for the random drawing requires online registration; the club is no longer accepting ticket applications through the regular mail. The number of available Masters golf tournament tickets will depend on the number of longtime ticket holders who have passed away, so these ticket options will vary from year to year. Practice round tickets are much more readily available, both through the online lottery and through ticket brokers and re-sellers.

If you don't want to roll the dice with the lottery, or even if you want to hedge your bets, you can still get Masters tickets from brokers. Many of these sellers also provide Masters golf packages, so you can plan your memorable trip in one fell swoop. Packages can include hotels, access to parties, dining discounts, and much more.

There is also a deadline for submitting the application, and if you miss it, the only option is to purchase tickets through a different channel. Another advantage to Masters golf packages is the peace of mind that every aspect of your trip will be covered. You don't have to worry about fitting all the logistical puzzle pieces together because somebody else has already done it for you. All you have to do is show up and make some memories. So, if you didn't win the 2012 Masters tickets lottery, you still have a chance to take the trip of a lifetime.
