Fans Stunned The Masters Still Has Such Low Concession Prices Compared To Other Big Events

Every year fans flock to The Masters and every year fans cannot believe how low the price of concessions are at America’s most prestigious golf event.

As has been the case for years and years, you can get a soft drink, some coffee or a bottle of water for just $2 at The Masters.

Want a beer? That’ll be just $5.

Hungry? How about a pork bar-b-que sandwich or a classic chicken sandwich for $3? Three dollars!

Just feeling a little peckish? A bag of chips, peanuts or Georgia pecan caramel popcorn will run you only $1.50.

For those unfamiliar with the tradition of The Masters keeping its concession prices low it can come as quite a shock.

“This is how the pricing should look for every sporting event,” someone else commented on X (Twitter).

The reactions are understandable when you take a look at some of the concession prices we have seen at other big events recently.

For instance, at this year’s Super Bowl in Las Vegas, the price of a Coors Light was $14.99, a bottle of water was $6.99, a chili dawg was $12.99 and a souvenir popcorn was $14.99.

At the College Football Playoff national championship game this year, a domestic bottle of beer cost around $13, while a draft beer went for $16.55. Also on offer was a $7 bottle of water and a $6 bag of pretzels.

Concession prices at concerts aren’t much better these days.

The Sphere at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas is one of the coolest new places to catch a show, but just like the big sporting events, concession prices there have the potential to empty your bank account.

How does $30 for a “specialty” cocktail, $20 for a margarita, $18 or $19 for a draft beer, $20 for a glass of wine, $14 for a “souvenir” soda and $7 for some water sound?

So yeah, $1.50 for a blueberry muffin or $3 for a ham and cheese on rye at The Masters is a pretty extraordinary sight these days.
