COBB COUNTY — Sunday has the potential to go down in history as one of the greatest sports days in Atlanta history.

If you don’t yet have a ticket and still want an opportunity to be at Sunday’s Game 5 of the World Series featuring the Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros, it’s going to cost you some money.

A lot of money.

As of 2 p.m. Sunday, there are tickets available at websites like StubHub.

  • The lowest price tickets on StubHub, two grandstand seats listed for $1,326 fees included
  • Seat Geek has tickets available in the upper deck as well. Those start at $1,270 each and go up.
  • Vivid Seats has some upper deck seats available starting at $1,126.

As with any purchases on the secondary market, the Georgia Attorney General’s Office warns about potential scammers.

The office says to buy tickets from reputable sites. You can check whether the business is accredited with the Better Business Bureau by going to bbb.org. 

You may also want to search the internet for complaints and reviews of a business. You can also find a ticket broker through the National Association of Ticket Brokers, which requires its members to guarantee that every ticket sold on their websites is legitimate.

TRENDING STORIES:

If you can’t buy tickets, it won’t cost you anything to sit out on the lawn at The Battery at the Braves watch party. But you may want to get there early.

The crowds have been huge at the Cobb County entertainment complex and with a chance tonight for the Braves to win the title, you can bet on there being an even larger crowd out there tonight to cheer the team on.

Should the Braves lose, the series returns to Houston for Game 6. Right now tickets for that game start in the mid-$700 range if you want to get in on the action. Of course that does not include your cost of traveling to south Texas and finding a place to stay.

Game 5 of the 2021 World Series begins at approximately 8:09 p.m. on Sunday night.

Channel 2 Action News will have LIVE Team 2 Coverage of tonight’s events at Truist Park and the Battery. Make sure to watch Channel 2 Action News at 6 and 11 p.m. for all the latest news.
