What: Atlanta Braves Games
When: All summer long
Cost: There are lots of ticket specials, we’ve listed some below, but check the website
Nothing says “summer” like baseball. Although I’m a huge fan of little league – anything can happen, and usually does – I also like to take in a professional game now and then. If you’re looking for Atlanta Braves ticket deals, there is a dizzying array to fit any ballpark experience. Here’s a few:
Buck Belue Buck Night – $1 for all Upper Reserved Seats on select games in Aug. and Sept.
$1 SkyLine seats
Two for One Mondays – two Golden Moone Casino Pavilion tickets for the price of one (2 for $28)
Coca-Cola Two for One Tuesday – two Upper Reserved tickets for the price of one (2 for $8)
Toyota Two for One Wednesdays – two field/pavilion tickets for the price of one (2 for $24)
Ultimate Kids Days – $5 Upper Box Tickets for all fans 14 and under + pre-game parade around the field and a chance to win prizes.
When going to a Braves game with kids, I say go cheap, because if your kids are like mine, you don’t stay in the seats anyway. They’re always running around the stadium. Here are some other kid friendly ballpark activities:
Cartoon Network’s Tooner Field: This Cartoon Network themed play area is perfect for smaller kids. There is a mini-ball field, a playground and slide, ball throwing and more. If you want to see any of the game, get to the park early to experience this area as you’ll have a hard time getting kids out of this FREE playground.
Run the Bases at the Coca-Cola Sky Field: Near the 22,000 square foot Coke bottle made of baseball equipment is a base path for kids to run. Parents can still watch the game from the railing while keeping an eye on junior too. While you are there, have a seat in one of the HUGE Adirondack chairs. Even a parents will feel small. All of these activities are FREE.
Kids Run the Bases: On most Sunday games (excluding July 4) Kids can run the actual bases down on the field after the game. I think this is SOOO cool! Meet at the Hank Aaron Ramp, aisle 129 after the game.
Publix Friday Night Fireworks: After every Friday night home game, Publix sponsors Friday Night Fireworks.
If you are a true baseball fan, check out my friend and former client Abe Schear’s book, I Remember When. It chronicles interviews with baseball greats and those who have watched them. It’s a wonderful gift for anyone who has enjoyed the game for years, or wants to know more about its history.
