The shuttle station has moved.

From the braves website...I've used both option #1 and option #2.

MARTA INFO/POLICIES:

OPTION #1: FANS CAN TAKE THE MARTA RAIL TO THE GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY STATION AND THEN ITS JUST A SHORT STROLL (LESS THAN A MILE) SOUTH ON CAPITAL AVENUE TO TURNER FIELD;

OR

OPTION #2: FANS CAN TAKE MARTA RAIL TO THE WEST END STATION, THEN JUMP ON THE MARTA BRAVES SHUTTLE WHICH DEPARTS FROM THE NORTH BUS LOOP AREA 90 MINUTES BEFORE EACH GAME AND WILL RUN THROUGHOUT THE GAME UNTIL ONE HOUR AFTER THE FINAL OUT;

OR

OPTION #3: FOR THOSE FANS WHO MAY WANT TO ARRIVE AT THE BALLPARK BEFORE THE MARTA BRAVES SHUTTLE BEGINS ITS GAME OPERATION MARTA RECOMMENDS CATCHING ANY ONE OF THREE OTHER AVAILABLE BUS ROUTES - THE #32, THE # 49 OR THE # 55. ALL THREE BUS LINES MAY BE CAUGHT AT THE FIVE POINTS MARTA STATION AND ALL THREE ROUTES STOP AT POINTS ADJACENT (I.E. HANK AARON DRIVE, POLLARD BLVD) TO TURNER FIELD.

The shuttle will return to fans to the North Bus Loop Bays at the West End Station.

The shuttle is free when you transfer from any MARTA bus or rail station with a valid Breeze Card/Ticket. Be sure to buy a round trip fare ($4.50) at a Breeze Vending machine.

Children under 6 years old ride free with an accompanying adult. Bus transfers are free and loaded automatically once you tap to exit a station or enter a bus. Parking for less than 24 hours is free at all MARTA parking facilities

As others have said, tickets are easy to come by this year. You can walk up to the box office and select your seat if you don't buy tickets online before.

I'm typically a proponent of taking public transit/MARTA here in Atlanta, but it's a hassle changing from the train to the stadium shuttles. Pay $15 cash for parking in the Braves Blue Lot (its an easy walk across what used to be Fulton County Stadium to the TED). Exit from I-85 Southbound onto Fulton Street, turn left and the Blue Lot is on your right. The Braves lots are a little more expensive (maybe $5), but if you are worried about any issues, the only folks you'll run into in the Blue Lot are tailgaters and a few random scalpers.

Go early. There is plenty to do and see in the stadium and you'll encounter less traffic issues getting into the lot. I just took my 10-year old daughter on Sunday, we had a blast.

Biggest problem appears to be that there is no team to watch

The Braves aren't scrimaging themselves. At least you'll
