Watching the Braves play doesn’t have to be expensive. As is, quite a few tickets are available at less than $10 per game and other discount tickets are available for Braves games, and fans have the option of bringing their own food & non-alcoholic beverages with them to Turner Field.
Fans of concerts & baseball get an even better deal: During the 2013 Braves Summer Concert Series you can stick around for a free post-game concert (free = if you go to the game, you can stay for a free concert). At the moment, the schedule includes Casting Crowns on May 19, Run DMC on June 1, Steve Miller Band on July 13, & Big & Rich on September 1. Bonus: You can buy the cheap seats & then move down for the concerts; they’re general-admission seating. Cheap game-day tickets + free post-game concerts = a tough deal to beat. FYI for country music fans: On April 1, Rodney Atkins will sing the National Anthem as well as perform for fans pregame in Fan Plaza.

Planning to eat at Turner field? Try these deals:
- You’ll save on your day out when you take advantage of the
Chevron Family Value Plan, which includes 4 tickets, 4 hot dogs, 4 sodas, a parking pass, a game program, and a $10 Chevron gas card.
- Eat a lot? You may want an
“All You Can Eat Seats” ticket. You can fill up on unlimited chicken BBQ sandwiches, Buffalo chicken wings, all-beef franks, potato salad, peanuts, popcorn, chocolate chip cookies, Coca-Cola products, and draft beer. Food & drink will be provided from two hours before the game through the end of the 7th inning.
- Braves season ticket holders receive 33% off food & non-alcoholic beverages at select Turner Field vendors.
A note on parking: You’ll save a bit on parking if you buy your parking pass in advance. BUT the parking pass is nonrefundable, so if it rains & the game is cancelled, you’re out of luck. It’s best to buy in advance for games that will be busy or if you’re arriving early to tailgate. Also, traffic is often heavy around Turner Field, so plan to head out early.
Turner Field is located at 755 Hank Aaron Dr, Atlanta. 800-326-4000
