The Masters is back, bringing with it shockingly affordable food and drink prices. In contrast to SW19, where costs are higher, the concession stands at the Masters offer a variety of sandwiches, breakfast items, beverages, and snacks. For just $1.50 (£1.19), you can enjoy an iconic pimento cheese sandwich, and for just $3 (£2.37), you can savor a pork Bar-B-Que or a chicken salad on honey wheat. Breakfast options are equally enticing, with a chicken biscuit priced at $3.00 and a blueberry muffin at just $2.00 (£1.58).
The Masters blend fresh brewed coffee is also a steal at $2, cheaper than a Starbucks Americano at £4.00. Snacks are also affordable, with barbecue crisps and peanuts at $1.50, caramel popcorn at $2, and Georgia peach ice cream sandwiches at $3. Many have expressed amazement at the affordable prices compared to other sporting events, with one fan calling it “refreshing” and another pointing out that it’s a bargain compared to the prices at New York Yankees games. The overall consensus is that the Masters offers the best value food and drink of any sporting event on earth.
The reason behind these low prices is likely the profitability of other aspects of Augusta National, allowing them to keep concession costs low without the need to ramp up prices. Overall, the Masters menu is being praised for its affordability, offering a refreshing change from the high prices typically found at sporting events.
