I’m going to be in town in late September, and am looking to see a game. However, a friend wants to join me - but may not be able to attend. Is ticket scalping legal in Atlanta?
Also, it looks like the Braves will be on a playoff hunt - how difficult will it be at that point to get tickets? Will prices be astronomical?
Getting a ticket to a Braves game shouldn’t be that difficult especially during the week. “Good” tickets might be more of a problem.
the only home games that the Braves have in late September are the 27th-29th against the Marlins. Thats a Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Wednesday is a twilight game, starting at 4:35 pm.
Braves have been averaging about 30K during the week. If those games are ‘meaningful’, then they might have bigger crowds.
If you are staying a hotel, a concierge might be of some assistance. If you are on business, maybe a business associate can help you.
As someone who has attended concers Ga Tech football games, Ga Tech Basketball games, and NCAA Tournament Basketball games, scalping “was” allowed, but not legal in the 1980s.
A business contact or concierge should be able to hook you up with some decent tickets.
Heh. I have no advice on this Munch but allow me to reminisce about the Braves and growing up in a town sixty miles south of Atlanta and right on I85 which is were the stadium is just outside of downtown Atlanta.
Waaaaaay back in the 70s the braves, well, they stunk. Nobody went to games. Seriously. During the week there’d be nights when there might have been 3k people in the stadium. Friends would get together and make the hour trip to the stadium, buy tickets in the cheap seats (three bucks waaaaaay back then) and sit there a couple of innings. Then we’d get waved over to good seats so “crowd” shots would look better. 
Of course now, a night at TeddyLand is way more expensive.
Ah… the good old days of the rotten Braves.
Getting Braves tickets shouldn’t be too difficult. Check their website before you go. I know they used to have tickets for as little a a dollar, as long as you didn’t mind nosebleeds a not seeing the whole field.
Yes, I’m aware of how to purchase baseball tickets in advance. But as I said in my OP, my friend may or may not be able to attend, so we’d rather just get them day-of in case he has to bail.
