The Braves will put playoff tickets on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday.
Tickets will be sold for potentially three home games in the National League Division Series and potentially four home games in the NL Championship Series.
Single-game prices for the Division Series range from $35 to $200, excluding club seats. The $35 seats are in the upper-level grandstand corners, and the $200 seats are in lower-level “dugout infield” sections. Tickets also are priced at $40, $50, $60, $75, $100, $125, $150, $165 and $180, depending on seat location.
Prices are higher for the NLCS, ranging from $65 to $260, again excluding club seats.
Club seats, which include access to private dining areas and other amenities, are more expensive and mostly bought by season-ticket holders. For a season-ticket holder who bought all playoff games, the prices in SunTrust Club seats directly behind the plate were $640 per game for the Division Series and $800 per game for the NLCS, and the prices in the Delta Sky360 Club seats were $280-300 per game for the Division Series and $350-400 per game for the NLCS.
Friday’s start of the general public sale at Ticketmaster and the SunTrust Park ticket windows will follow a two-day “pre-sale” in which tickets were made available beginning Wednesday to season-ticket holders and other “verified” fans who registered online in advance.
Because of the pre-sale, seats won’t be available at all price points for all games when the open-to-the-public sale begins.
Ticket refunds will be issued for any playoff games that are not played.
The Braves clinched a playoff berth last weekend and have a magic number of two to wrap up the NL East championship. (The earliest they can clinch the division is Friday night.) As NL East champion, assuming the Los Angeles Dodgers maintain the league's best overall record, the Braves would open the playoffs by hosting the NL Central champ in Division Series Games 1 and 2 on Oct. 3-4. The St. Louis Cardinals currently lead the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers in a tight NL Central race.
