Don't get ripped off! Parking spots for Braves games reach nearly $1,000

COBB COUNTY, Ga. — A look at prices for parking at Braves postseason games on second hand market websites like Stubhub can cause sticker shock. The key message: Don't get ripped off.

Channel 2's Justin Wilfon found some spots on sale for $200 and some as high as nearly $1,000.

"That parking better come with a full course meal, valet," one Braves fan told Wilfon.

The Braves organization says, "Don't buy them."

"Just wait. No need to go to Stubhub now," said Greg Mize, Braves' senior director of marketing and innovation.

Mize said the Braves haven't put any postseason parking spots up for sale yet.

The team said it had to wait on Major League Baseball to announce the game times.

"The reason for that is that a lot of our parking is based upon the time of game, so certain lots we only have availability for certain game times," Mize said.

The few parking spots on secondhand sites were likely put there by season ticket holders.

The team will put the rest of the spots up for sale over the next couple of days and for much less than $1,000.

Now that the game times have been announced, parking spots for Game 1 will go on sale Tuesday. Spots for Game 2 will go on sale Wednesday.

Spots can be purchased on Braves.com/parking.
