The Masters. The BIGGEST golf tournament in the world has an average ticket price of $2000 for Sunday’s final round, but you can buy a pimento cheese sandwich for $1.50. The Masters features concessions that exceed no more than six dollars. This is quite a departure from the status quo of other major sporting events, like the Super Bowl where the average price of a burger is $16.
The reason why, as Steve Salaga, sports economist and assistant professor of sport management and policy at the University of Georgia, told Fox Business, is due to simple economics.
“We have to remember, the total cost of event attendance includes travel and transaction costs, the cost of the ticket itself, as well as any parking, concessions, and souvenirs purchased,” Salaga explained.
The Masters provides light but delish options, each of which comes at a reduced price tag. YOU could order one of everything, and it would only cost $60. It is refreshing to see traditions being preserved given how much has changed in the world.
