Brave Old Prices

The Atlanta Braves saw an increase in attendance in 2005, and want to keep that trend positive. Atlanta is holding ticket prices steady for 2006, and offering two new discount packages:

A limited number of seats in the upper pavilion level in right field, which cost $5 on an individual-game basis, will be sold as full season tickets for $249, which comes to $3 per game. The seats were not previously offered as season tickets; the cheapest full-season-ticket package this past season was $830.

Seats in the terrace reserved and Lexus pavilion levels in the outfield will be sold as full season tickets on a buy-two-, get-two-free basis — four full-season tickets for the price of two.

"Selling more season tickets — that's the goal," Schiller said.

"It's been no secret that our season-ticket base has decreased over the past eight years — with the exception of last season, which was the first time it increased [during that span]."

Three dollars a game sounds like a great deal to me. Back in 1984, when George Parker and I bought our first Red Sox season tickets, we paid $3 a game for bleacher seats. Our package contained 26 weekend games, opening day and Patriots' Day. At that time, there were 13 American League opponents, and each came in for a weekend at Fenway, so we were able to watch all the teams on the plan. It was a perfect package. This Braves offer sounds very good, too.
