If you want to see the Atlanta Braves face the Houston Astros in the World Series, it’s going to cost you quite the penny unless you’re lucky and we mean very lucky! There was a huge surge in the pricing of tickets to Games 3, 4, and 5 following Game 2 where the Braves lost to the Astros on Wednesday night. Currently tickets are listed on StubHub and Vivid Seats for more than $1000 and that’s just standing room, no seats! The most expensive ticket!? Saturday night tickets for the third row, behind the home plate, are going for $16,000!
One woman’s on-going support of the team is finally paying off! Earlier this week, the Braves official twitter page asked fans to tell them how much of a fan they were. Micki Benton, a long-time fan and supporter of the team quickly tweeted a story of how she never missed a game until the night of her son’s birthday which took place 22 years ago, the same exact night and last time the Braves were in the World Series. “Next thing I know Delta Airlines is contacting me and said 'Hey Braves, let's make this happen' or something like that, and next thing I know, I have two airplane tickets and two tickets to the game on Saturday," Benton explained, still somewhat in shock. “I think I’m going to cry.”
Sports fans are passionate! Especially when their team is in the World Series! A Jubal Phone Prank is when our listeners set-up a friend or family member to wake up with The Jubal Show, phone prank style. In today's Phone Prank, Pete Ekens (Jubal Fresh) calls a season ticket holder to let them know they can attend the big game, but on Opposing Fan Appreciation Night! They’ll have to cheer for the opposing team, wear the opposing teams colors and everything! Find out if this Braves fan is just as excited as Micki Benton is to attend the big game!
