I was just looking at StubHub. You can get a full refund or a 120% credit on there so that's not an issue.

I just don't have a good feel for how the market moves on this.

Only time I went was Game 5 in 2017 and I paid a little more for those than the prices I'm seeing for Game 7. Just made me wonder if I should pull the trigger before the series starts.


I haven't looked at Stubhub. I always buy from season ticket holders that sell in 3-4 different facebook groups. The price is typically better than Stubhub because there are no fees. The groups have generally vetted sellers and you can use the search function within the group to see that many people have purchased from these individuals. I see that Tuesday's SRO tickets are $562 after all the fees. They are generally $450-500 in the FB groups. Better seats are usually $200 each or so cheaper. Stubhub fees are ridiculous.

I can tell you I paid less than that (like 30% less) for similar tickets in 19.



I was a STH in 2019. I think 30% more is spot on. I do think prices will drop a little. However, flights are cheap and the Braves haven't been to the WS in a long time. We may have a lot more Braves fans in attendance than there were National and Dodger fans.

Seriously. Don't buy from them. There are much better deals available safely in 3 different Astros ticket sales FB groups. It's pretty much the only place I buy tickets.

I just picked up Yuli +2500.

Yed and Freddie are both +850 as co-favorites.

I expect some Braves fans to make the short flight from the Houston area to downtown. I’m sure there are still a ton of Braves fans inside Houston left from the ‘90s bandwagon/TBS days who loved to fill the Dome and MMP.

When I went to the Chris Burke playoff game against the Braves in MMP, I had Braves fans both in front of me and behind me. They made a substantial showing.

I went to a lot of 90s games in the Dome and when the Braves were in town it was an obvious difference in the crowd.

If Frambaw or Garcia has two games like ALCS game 5/6 then they have a shot at it... but... the Astros won the ALCS and pitching played a big part but Yed still won the series MVP.
