So says Action Network, an online site that vides premium sports betting analysis, real-time odds, and other informational data and tools for its clients

The site, founded in 2017, made its determinations by examining the ballpark experience across all 30 major-league venues, including Atlanta’s Truist Park, where the All-Star Game will be played July 15

The Survey Says It revealed the ing: ★ All-Star Game attendees in Atlanta will find a two-night hotel stay costs $48 more – up 19 per cent – while game-day tickets jumped $431, an average of 459 per cent ★ Los Angeles is the most expensive destination, with accommodations costing an average of $341 for a two-night stay and game-day tickets $177 (second only to the $181 ticket price in Sacramento, temporary of the in-limbo Athletics) ★ The most budget-friendly city is Cleveland, with tickets at $90 each and beer available for $4 In its survey, Action Network surveyed the prices of tickets, accommodations, food and drink, and parking

Not included was the cost of souvenirs, which varies from city to city and from fan group to fan group

Beer Here The cost of a ballpark beer topped out at $8. 50 in Dodger Stadium, while the average cost of an inexpensive meal for one was $30, a major-league high, in Miami

Ticketing and accommodations were a whole different story, however

The average cost of a two-night stay in an Airbnb was costliest in San Diego, where the $343. 06 expense topped Los Angeles, a close second at $341

Baseball tickets ran the gamut from $181 in Sacramento to just $44 in Miami

On the other hand, Miami first in the average cost of an inexpensive meal with a $30 price-tag, according to the Action Network survey

Considering all factors, L

Had the highest costs and Cleveland the lowest

The 95th All-Star Game will be Atlanta’s third, with one in each of its three ballparks: Fulton County Stadium, Turner Field, and Truist Park

The Braves also hosted All-Star Games in their two other parks: Braves Field in Boston and Milwaukee County Stadium in Wisconsin

Beyond exposing the All-Star price hikes, Action Network posed solutions, including using public transport where available; finding cheaper ballpark seats; limiting purchase of ballpark food; and finding accommodations well in advance – especially if located near transit lines

Action Network used airbnb data ed by location and time of year plus team websites and a site called Numbeo, which pinpointed food, drink, and local transportation alternatives

The site has been in such major news outlets as The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, CNBC, ESPN, and Sports Journal
