2020 + 2021 Masters

[RobotDoctor]

I just received my rejection letter from the Masters Tournament Chairman regarding my 2020 Tuesday practice round tickets not being selected as to be used for the 2021 Masters.  I have the option for refund or the same tickets for 2022.  I'll opt for the latter.  Eventually I'll get back to the Masters.

Rejected for our Monday Practice Round tix 😞

[Schro5150]

I just got the rejection e-mail for my 2020 Monday practice round tickets.  Here's my question.  Unlike RobotDoctor above, my notice doesn't give an option for refund or wait for 2022.  It simply says that a refund WILL be issued, and then will be given an opportunity to purchase for next year.  Does that mean that I'm guaranteed tix for 2022, or is the "opportunity" just going back in the lottery?  If I'm guaranteed the same tix in 2022, I'm okay with that.  If I've basically lost out on a trip to Augusta, that I'm not okay with.

 

Ticket holders who purchased tickets from Augusta National will receive a refund from their original purchase. Refunds will be issued within 45 - 60 days to the credit card used to make your payment. However, your bank may take up to 90 days to credit your account or reject the credit, once received.

Ticket holders will also be given the opportunity to purchase the same tickets for the 2022 Masters Tournament. To claim 2022 tickets, you must complete a 2022 ticket application at Masters.com during the application period of June 1-21, 2021. Ticket holders will be notified of their 2022 ticket selection and then must make a payment during the designated payment period.

From what I have read, you will be refunded- expect the refund to show in a couple of months. You will likely then begiven a code of sorts to "repurchase" your same qty and day ticket online between June 1st and 31st only. And yes its my understanding that your purchase is guaranteed for 2022 April Masters......so yeah you are good.

 

 

Me on the other hand might be lucky to attend, I have received no additional correspondence so maybe my "new" 2 Tuesday practice round tickets for 2021 are being mailed to me. Hope so.

What does your online TICKETING account say for 2021?

Same, still shows 2021, so I don;t know. Is yours different, zero'd out?

 

My thought is a mail delay, because I'm up north. I'll give it to the end of the week, then call. But still no email.

Ours still shows we're getting 2021 Monday tix, although we got the e-mail on Friday that we aren't, and that we'll be refunded within 90 days (and then will be able to buy them next year for 2022):

Buddy in Augusta says the rumor is, "limited attendance" won't include the general public.  Tickets will be distributed thru club members, players, vendors, sponsors, etc.  That's also supported by the fact that not a single ticket is currently available on Stubhub

My letter says the same thing. I'll get a refund and have an option to get the same tickets in 2022 but have to reapply in June, which I most certainly will.  I'm sure the price will be increased but it matters not.

why would there be a ticket on stubhub. 1 they're not available  and physically may not be until late February or march- like in previous years.

and 2 they or a letter stating they would be issued would be incredibly valuable

 

No?

Every year, for at least the last 15 years, there has always been hundreds of tickets on Stubhub from the time the lottery confirmations are announced in June/July right thru the tournament's final round the following April.  Tickets don't have to be in hand in order to list them on Stuhbub.  People sell them on Stubhub for hundreds/thousands of dollars the year before the tournament, long before they have them in hand...that's how Stubhub works.

 

And then layer on top of that all the speculators that list tickets that they aren't even due/awarded to them....sell a phantom WED ticket in August for $2,000 to someone who's impatient and doesn't realize prices only come down (99% of the time); buy another one in January at $600, ship that one to your August buyer and pocket the $1,400 profit (minus Stubhub fees).  Speculating is against Stubhub policy, but it happens all the time.

 

I checked Stubhub last week and Hospitality tickets were available for all 7 days at $100+; those are gone now too.  So, it could be that Stubhub has just stopped all Masters listing as a precaution (probably due to the unique situation this year), but for the past 15 years there has always been hundreds of tickets available from the previous June right up until Master's Sunday.  

 

And I didn't follow your #2?

Maybe they should let vaccinated people come....this is not at all a selfish suggestion 🙂

By then that could be most everyone.  Or at least most of the patrons with tickets.  My in laws both father in law snd his brother and wife has had the shot already.  Wife’s work all had the opportunity, it’s rolling out and I’m no where near a metro area.

Under a normal year there would be far more tickets available/issued.....this years masters would have a limited amount and of those how many would be re-sold....Much higher cost, higher demand

Have you called them?  I accidentally posted the link to my ticketing account in one of these threads, someone tried to log in and locked up my account.  I called them and they quickly pulled up my account and fixed it.

 

For additional information regarding ticketing please contact the Masters Tournament Ticket Office at (706) 667-6700

I was amazed by how they cut the green and use the ball rolling to test it.

Still no Masters listing on Stubhub...hmmm...still tells me there are no tickets available to the public

[dmbolp]

Ebay had 8-10 listings for 2021 up until recently, I assume all speculators, or folks who had tickets but didn't realize they were taken away.  Today the only listings are for 2022.

 

Still no signs of the general public getting any 2021 tickets.

 

Keeping our cheap hotel reservations in the event MON tickets pop up.  Going to Austin the prior weekend and picking up cooked/chilled/sealed briskets from Franklin BBQ.  Weekend at friend's lake house FRI 4/2-4/4, on the hunt for MON 4/5 tix.

[dmbolp]

Just did my daily check of Stubhub for Masters tickets, and for the first time in awhile there are listings up...for MON/TUE/WED...2 tickets each day, basically $3k/$4k/$5k each 😲

 

Interesting that Stubhub created the listings for the 3 days, they must have a verified/confirmed seller that they trust.  Maybe a sign that tickets are available to the general public.  Or an insider selling.

We knew a limited number of patrons would be selected by ANGC to attend this year. Looks like one of them decided to cash in his practice round tickets. I wouldn’t look for any flood gates to open.

WED is gone now; someone paid $10,000 for 2 WED tickets?!?!?  Most overrated day

Got credited back last night for our April 2020, November 2020, April 2021 Monday tickets 😞
