Weather permitting, I'm going to a Masters practice round this year and am torn between buying the ticket from a reseller online, or trying to grab one the day of in Augusta. I've tried for 8 years to get a practice round ticket from the official drawing with no luck, and don't feel like waiting any longer!
Buying the tickets online is expensive - I'm probably looking at $400-$500 right now for a Tuesday ticket. Whether or not that would be more or less expensive as the date nears next month, I am not sure. I figure that buying online would at least guarantee me a ticket.
My other option would be to try to buy one somewhere in Augusta the day of the practice round. I'd have to stay 2700 feet away from the course to keep it legal, and to my knowledge would not be guaranteed a ticket. I just wonder if I might be able to get one significantly cheaper as a result.
Has anyone used either of these methods for acquiring a Masters ticket before?
