It's time for one of the biggest sporting events of the spring: the Masters tournament. Set at the historic Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, GA, the event tees offΒ on April 7Β with practice rounds and pre-tournament happenings ahead of the official competition days that run from April 10 to April 13. With some of the world's greatest golfers descending on Georgia, it's a great time to find out how to get Masters tournament tickets.

This year marks the 91st anniversary of the first Masters tournament and the competition is shaping up to be a tough one. Scottie Sheffler of the United States, who won last year's tournament, is expected to return to defend his title against several top-ranked players, most likely including Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy. Contestants will participate in early practice rounds before the competition picks up, culminating in an action-packed weekend. The cut happens on Friday, which will see the top 50 players (plus ties) advance to the weekend. The tournament will conclude on Sunday with the final round and the iconic green jacket ceremony.

The Masters Tournament has proven to be one of the hardest sporting events to get tickets to, rivaling the Super Bowl in terms of exclusivity. We'll explain all of your options below and outline the process of getting tickets for next year.

How to buy tickets for the Masters

The only true way to buy original Masters tickets is through the Masters Tournament website, which offers a lottery each summer prior to the tournament. The ticket lottery for the 2025 Masters was held in Summer 2024. Each year, listings also pop up on resale websites like StubHub, Vivid Seats, and Ticketmaster.

However, the Masters Tournament's official policy prohibits the resale of tickets. "Holders of Tickets acquired from third parties, by whatever means, may be excluded from attendance to the Tournament," according to the website, so purchasing resale is at a buyer's own risk.

How much are the Masters tickets?

Prices for original tickets, which are no longer available, vary depending on the date. Business Insider reported in 2023 that lottery tickets in the past few years have gone for about $100 to $140, depending on whether they're for practice or competition days. An exclusive group of people also have lifelong patron badges, but hopefuls can't even get on the waiting list for one right now.Β 

Given the demand, resale listings are definitely more expensive in this case. On StubHub, the lowest US Masters resale listing prices start at $1,131 for the Monday practice round.Β Vivid Seats offers relatively similar prices, starting at $1,596 for the same date.Β On Ticketmaster, resale listings start at $2,253 for that same date.

Keep in mind that Georgia's state scalping law doesn't allow selling tickets within 2,700 feet of the venue, so people shouldn't show up at the event hoping to buy last-minute tickets.Β 

How to get Masters lottery tickets in 2026

If you'd rather just try your luck at getting original standard tickets next year, you can always do that. New applicants can now create an account for next year's lottery on the official Masters website. Applications will open June 1 through June 20, and payments will open in late July.

Who will play at the 2025 Masters tournament?

While the official list of players will be officially confirmed over the next few weeks (and competitions are always subject to last-minute changes), the Masters has released a list of invitees who have qualified for the 2025 tournament so far. Xander Schauffele, Brooks Koepka, Max Homa, and Hideki Matsuyama join Scheffler, Rahm, and McIlroy on the list of invitees.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is almost over as the singer-songwriter makes her way through North America for one last stretch of performances. She finished her final London shows in August and set off to tour Canada and a few remaining US cities this fall and winter, with her final announced show scheduled for December 8. If you're hoping to attend, we've compiled all of the details of The Eras Tour, including how to get Taylor Swift tickets.

Swift's Eras Tour has taken the world by storm since March 2023. The three-plus-hour tour features hits from each of Swift's album eras, from "Lover" to her Grammy Award-winning "Midnights." Each show also features surprise songs and occasional guests, so fans never quite know what they're in for. Swift released her latest album, "The Tortured Poets Department," in April, and the Swiftie hype has continued throughout the summer.Β 

Getting tickets has become its own battle and many fans have waited hours in the Ticketmaster queue to hopefully snag some seats, if they could get a presale ticket code in the first place. So far, Swift's tour has passed through various cities in the US, Europe, Australia, Latin America, and Asia, among other regions. As Swift approaches her last tour dates, which will see her take her final bow in Canada, tickets remain hard to come by.

Below, we've put together a guide on everything to know about The Eras Tour, including the tour schedule, ticket purchasing details, resale ticket prices, and the concert film streaming options. You can also peruse resale vendors like StubHub and Vivid Seats at your leisure.

Taylor Swift North American tour dates

The Eras Tour arrived in Canada on November 14. Swift will play her final slew of shows from December 6 to 8 in Vancouver. All North American shows start at 7 p.m. local time.

DateCityPrices from
December 6Β Vancouver, Canada$475
December 7Β Vancouver, Canada$524
December 8Β Vancouver, Canada$593

How to buy tickets for Taylor Swift's 2024 tour

Original standard tickets for Taylor Swift's 2024 tour sold out long ago for both international and domestic dates. All US tickets and many international tickets were sold through Ticketmaster, although select international locations used different services.Β 

Tickets for most dates are available on resale websites like StubHub and Vivid Seats. These are generally higher-priced than the originals, which are no longer available. Keep in mind that some countries have rules regarding reselling tickets.

How much are Taylor Swift tickets?

Ticket prices vary by date and location. European resale tickets tended to be a bit cheaper than North American resale tickets and some of the cheapest tickets have restricted views.

When it comes to the remaining shows, the cheapest StubHub listings at the time of writing range from $475 (December 6 in Vancouver, Canada) to $593 (December 8 in Vancouver, Canada). On Vivid Seats, the cheapest Taylor Swift tickets on these dates start at $458 and $750, respectively. The two resale vendors generally have similarly priced offerings, but this varies from show to show.Β 

Resale ticket prices have fluctuated over the past month, and Vancouver listings have decreased significantly in the past few weeks. We have been tracking resale ticket prices for the Eras Tour over the past nine months and have routinely seen some of the cheapest listings exceed $2,000 for US tour dates, so the remaining Canadian prices are relatively cheaper.

Who is opening for Taylor Swift's tour?

Taylor Swift has a variety of opening acts, from up-and-coming singers to established groups. Opening acts vary by date. In the US and Canada, Gracie Abrams will be the opening act. For the European leg of the tour, Paramore opened for Swift. Earlier in the tour, Swift had Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, MUNA, HAIM, and more open for her.

Will Taylor Swift add more dates to the Eras Tour?

Taylor Swift has already added additional stops to her tour due to popular demand, including her US tour dates this fall. She also added additional dates to some of her European city stops, including bonus performances in France and the United Kingdom, among other locations.

During her 100th show, a mid-June performance in Liverpool, Swift acknowledged that the tour would conclude in December. "The celebration of the 100th show for me means this is the very first time I've ever acknowledged to myself and admitted that this tour is going to end in December," Swift told the crowd in a moment that was widely captured and posted across social media. This statement means that the Eras Tour is unlikely to extend past 2024, but we'll keep this guide updated if Swift announces any changes (or additions) to her tour lineup.

Were anyΒ tour dates canceled?

Taylor Swift was originally scheduled to play three Eras Tour shows from August 9 to 11, 2024, in Vienna, Austria. However, the shows were canceled after Austrian officials confirmed that multiple individuals wereΒ arrested on suspicion of planning an attackΒ at one of the shows. As of August 12, no other Eras Tours performances have been canceled.Β 

Is The Tortured Poets Department a part of the Eras Tour?

It's good news for fans of "The Tortured Poets Department," Swift's most recent album that dropped on April 19, 2024. Swift is incorporating several of the new tracks into the Eras Tour, as evidenced by the first shows of her European leg. "The Tortured Poets Department" songs currently featured on tour include "But Daddy I Love Him," "So High School," "Down Bad," "Fortnight," "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?," "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived," and "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart."

Since the Eras Tour is already pretty long, this means that Swift is also cutting down a few songs from past Eras that previously made the tour setlist. The songs that were removed from the setlist include "The Archer," "Long Live," "The 1," "The Last Great American Dynasty," "'Tis the Damn Season," and "Tolerate It."Β
