So You Wanna Be an Atlanta United Die-Hard? (Without Breaking the Bank)
Let's face it, Atlanta United fans are a different breed. We bleed red and black, our chants echo through Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and we'd wrestle a raccoon for the last chicken waffle at halftime (don't worry, we'd share...maybe). But before you join our glorious ranks of season ticket holders, there's one burning question: how much does this fanaticism cost?
Hold on to Your Waffle Fries: A Breakdown of the Benjamins
Atlanta United's season tickets are, like Josef Martinez's right foot, pretty darn good. They are currently sold out, but that doesn't mean you can't dream (or strategize for next season!). Here's a glimpse into the price range from the 2024 season (expect some tweaks for 2025):
- The "I Bleed Red and Black But My Wallet Needs CPR" Zone: We're talking about the supporters' section, where the chants are loudest and the passion is fiercest. These tickets were around the $34 per game mark in 2024.
- The "I Want to See Pity Martinez Nutmeg Someone Live" Zone: Moving up a tier gets you closer to the pitch (and maybe Pity's magic). These seats ranged from $50-ish to $100-ish per game.
- The "I Might Spot a Celebrity (Maybe)" Zone: Premium seating offered swanky digs and a price tag to match. Think north of $100 a game.
But Wait, There's More! Don't Forget the Perks
Sure, season tickets aren't cheap, but you're not just buying a seat, you're buying into the Atlanta United experience. Here's what you get for your buck:
- Priority access to playoff and special event tickets: No more scrambling for that must-see game!
- Exclusive discounts on merchandise: Because everyone needs another Josef Martinez jersey (or three).
- Member events and experiences: Mingle with fellow fanatics and maybe even snag a selfie with Miles Robinson.
