After taking a 3-1 lead in the World Series following their Game 4 victory over the Houston Astros, the Atlanta Braves stood on the cusp of history in Game 5 yesterday. Hence, it wouldn’t surprise many that Truist Park played host to a capacity crowd on Sunday night as Braves fans arrived with eagerness.

However, to get there, there’s no doubt that fans burned a gaping hole in their pockets. That would be because of the exorbitant ticket prices for Game 5, with even the cheapest tickets going for four-digit sums!

What was the minimum ticket price for Game 5 of the World Series?

Following two good games in Houston where the Astros and Braves won a game apiece, the next two games at home produced sheer joy for the Braves. With narrow wins in those games, they took an emphatic 3-1 series lead and were just one win away from securing their first World Series title since 1995.

On October 31st, 2021, Braves fans flocked the Truist Park with the belief of seeing history unfold on their turf. However, they had to shell out significant money to enjoy the action up close in the stands. In fact, the cheapest ticket, which is for a spot in standing room only, cost over $1,000!

Ticket prices skyrocketed across the board for yesterday’s game. While the cheapest tickets cost over $1,000, the most expensive cost more than a crazy $8,000.
