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.

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.

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.

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.
