Title: Masters Tournament Daily Tickets Random Drawing
Post by: Tim Martin on July 19, 2011, 05:36:47 PM: I got an email today telling me that I came up empty on the random drawing for daily tix although I am still alive for the practice rounds which won`t be drawn until August. Anybody hit pay dirt?

Post by: Pete_Pittock on July 19, 2011, 11:03:40 PM: All requestors of daily tickets will be notified by email in mid-July

Title: Re: Masters Tournament Daily Tickets Random Drawing
Post by: Emile Bonfiglio on July 19, 2011, 11:55:51 PM: Who did the email come from? I wonder if this is standard protocol to let people know they did not get them?

EDIT: go to masters.com, click on tickets and the login...you will find your rejection notice waiting.
Title: Re: Masters Tournament Daily Tickets Random Drawing
Post by: Link Walsh on July 20, 2011, 12:00:27 AM: It's a standard email from Augusta National. I think the subject said something about Masters badges. You click on the link, then log in. That's when they tell you if you won any tickets or not.

The e-mail comes from the folks at the Masters web site. In the e-mail they provide you with a link to a page on that web site that requires a log in using the same log in created to submit your request.

Once you have logged in a page appears letting you know if you have succeeded or not.

I got my "regrets" as well.
Title: Re: Masters Tournament Daily Tickets Random Drawing

Title: Re: Masters Tournament Daily Tickets Random Drawing
Post by: Tim Bert on July 22, 2011, 09:16:12 PM: I would suspect the regrets far outweigh the congratulations for the actual rounds, which were not part of the lottery until this year. My guess would be that a higher portion of the applicants should expect to see a better result for the practice rounds. I got the "regrets" for the actual rounds as well.
Title: Re: Masters Tournament Daily Tickets Random Drawing
Post by: Matt MacIver on July 22, 2011, 10:30:25 PM: Regrets here so I'll put in for practice rounds. I've hit pay dirt 3x in the last ten years, so keep the faith those that haven't hit yet keep on plugging away!

Sad that nobody hit. Although you've got to figure that every employee of every ticket broker agency as well as almost every golf fan put in an order.

Here's to hoping on the practice round tix!

Oops, that's 10th best in the United States built before 1960.
Title: Re: Masters Tournament Daily Tickets Random Drawing
Post by: Mark_Rowlinson on July 25, 2011, 02:36:44 PM: It seems to be a similar story with the London Olympics. We didn't bother to apply for tickets - you can see far better on TV, and the coverage of the terrorist activity will be first rate - but it seems that most of the relatives of likely British competitors won't be able to see their offspring perform, even if they're in some obscure sport. But Libya was going to get its full allotment of tickets until someone noticed that our three biplanes and an aircraft carrier (without aircraft) are currently throwing hand grenades at Col Gadaffi....

I was also denied as were the 8 of my coworkers who applied. If you assume there are 27 million golfers out there and only 10% applied that's 2.7M, with maybe 100 tickets...I'll let you do the math.
Title: Re: Masters Tournament Daily Tickets Random Drawing
Post by: Jfaspen on August 17, 2011, 10:58:21 AM: Denied for Practice Rounds as well ): Same with my buddy who applied.

Although the internet application made this process much easier, I'm sure it greatly expanded the # of people applying.

Better luck to the rest of GCA, let us know if you or someone you know was successful!

In the tradition of the Masters, no potential patron has been "denied" or "reee - - jected" for practice round tickets, it is as simple as "Your application was not selected for 2012 Masters Practice Round tickets."

Doesn't that make you feel better?

Bill, I've applied many times, and since 2002 have deliberately asked for only 1 Monday ticket, and two Tuesday tickets, and checked the box that states I'd happily take any tickets, even if my request could not be filled completely. I've come up empty in a 12 year quest. If my odds of gaining a ticket are improved, they've still not become as attractive as I'd like!

Post by: Bill Crane on May 04, 2017, 12:46:42 PM: I am 1 for 12. Hit the second year and nothing since.

I took 3 friends and gave them the practice round tickets. Two years later one of them hit it, and SOLD the tickets for a profit !!

Guess he needed the $ at that time.

Good luck all.

Post by: Cliff Hamm on June 20, 2017, 04:28:22 PM: First try and 2 tickets for Tuesday practice round. Wonder if it's easier if you just request 2 instead of 4?

9-10 hr drive but looking forward to it. Coming from Florida by way of Savannah. Hotel reservations not easy. Found a Holiday Inn in Statesboro about 1.5 hr away. Please no Statesboro Blues comments...

Would we be better off securing tickets now, or waiting until we get to Augusta and dealing with the local resellers? (I realize that no matter what, this will be $$$.)

Title: Re: Masters Tournament Daily Tickets Random Drawing
Post by: Jerry Kluger on March 18, 2018, 08:00:39 AM: The problem with tournament days is most of the tickets are for all 4 days so if you buy it for a day you have to give it back to someone when you leave and if they don't know you they aren't likely to trust you with the tickets. I think the only individual tickets for a tournament day are the ones that people won in the lottery and there aren't many of them.

BTW: They allow PGA members in with identification but they cannot bring anyone else in with them without a ticket.

Just to be pedantic, I doubt PGA members get complimentary access. USPGA members might.

All Class A PGA members(I 'd be shocked if it wasn't International as well) get access-and their own dedicated gate
as well as Superintendants-(GCSAA)

Maybe he meant practice rounds access. Did they get a guest for practice rounds?

He had never been (and still hasn't) and I would assume he probably got some bad information as he is a great guy.

The guy I work with took his wife under his PGA card several times. That was a long time ago, though. I plan to go with my PGA card next year. Hopefully.

Erik,
It's even more complicated than that.
The ticket "holder" has to be the person who the ticket was mailed/sold to by ANGC.
I.e. a scalped or borrowed ticket won't do it....but
perhaps someone who was attending anyway (who is the "badge holder") might extend the generosity of getting your daughter in the gates with them as you obviously don't need a badge.
Maybe a GCAer lucky enough to win the lottery.

Post by: Jerry Kluger on July 05, 2018, 07:20:04 PM: Tigermania drove up the prices this year. I bought a practice round ticket 3 years ago for $300. I would wait and see what happens, especially with the practice round. Tournament rounds are far more difficult because they are mostly badges for the 4 days which makes handing it off to the next person critical and requires a great deal of trust.
