2023 Masters Tournament Is A Master Inflation Fighter: How Much A Beer, Sandwich Now Costs

The 2023 Masters Tournament is set to start on Thursday (April 6) and fans may be surprised by the tournament’s concession prices. Despite rampant inflation, particularly with food items, Masters food prices remain low, bucking the trend of sporting events' notoriety for marked-up hot dogs and beers.

A food menu posted by Front Office Sports showed a pimento cheese sandwich, an Augusta National Golf Club staple, will set patrons back $1.50. Domestic beers are listed at $5, less than half the price of a beer at the average NFL game. 

Breakfast looks like a particularly good deal for tournament goers. A fan could get a coffee, chicken biscuit and fresh fruit all for $6. Someone could get every single item on the menu for $66.

Now, just because the concession prices are cheap does not mean that a trip to the Masters is. The Masters has a famous lottery system for tickets, and if you aren’t selected, you’d have to buy tickets on the secondary market. This year, tickets are going as high as $700 for single-day tickets, according to Golf.com.

Additionally, rental prices in Augusta, Georgia. where the tournament is held, has skyrocketed during Masters Tournament (which runs through April 9). People who rent out their homes during the tournament can often get as much as $30,000-$50,000 during that time.
