Steep ticket prices
Watching games live at the ballpark can cost a pretty penny, with ticket prices ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars, depending of course on the kind of seat you want, and where you buy your tickets from. Parking passes cost anywhere from $60 to $500.
For Atlanta games, the general public can purchase single-game and parking tickets on Tuesday, Oct. 26 at 10 a.m. ET at the Braves’ website.
A “very limited” number of tickets are available through the Astros’ website. You can lock in World Series tickets if you buy season tickets for 2022.
There are also a limited number of tickets available on the secondary market, but they are pricier and also going fast. You can buy tickets at StarHub, which start at $439 for SRO seats for Game 1 in Atlanta, and at $989 for Game 3 in Houston.
