Faithful attendees of the Atlanta Braves games understand that it’s going to cost a pretty penny to see their favorite team play live. Well, this is only the case when you reserve the best seats and pig out on all the great concession food stands. There are some variations in the costs from one stadium to another and there are ways to reduce the cost if you’re working within a budget. If you’re a fan but have yet to watch them play live, here’s a heads up that will give you an idea about what to budget for. The total amount that it will cost you to go, depends on a few variables and we’re here to give you the full breakdown so there will be no surprises.

Average ticket price

The average cost to get into Sun Trust Park to see an MLB team play is $31.71 apiece. For seats in the lower levels of the stadium, the Dugout Infield tickets are between $97 and $234. General admission to the stadium is $5.00. The Terrace Level seats will cost in the neighborhood of $31 with some less advantageous viewing seats going for between $16 and $22. If you’re willing to forego the luxury of a birdseye view of the game, you can gain admission for a reasonable cost per person.

Children under the age of two are admitted for free, but they must sit on the lap of a parent or guardian. All kids that are age 3 and over must have a ticket purchased for them and be supervised by an adult.

Parking

Its advised that you purchase parking tickets in advance because parking within Sun Trust Park is limited and offered on a first come, first served basis. The cost for A-List members to park is $10 and anyone purchasing single-game tickets pays $16 to park. This is a reasonable price when compared with some other ballparks. If you’re driving to the park in an RV, the cost is $30 per vehicle and you must make your parking ticket purchase in advance by calling the park.

Kids’ activities

There are several activities that children can participate in for additional fun during the game. Plan on spending at least $25 to make sure that the little ones get in on the great activities offered at Will & Hope’s Sandlot.
