MLB All-Star Week
Atlanta, GA
Truist Park
WHEN
July 11-15, 2025
ADVENTURE SUMMARY
The Mid-Summer Classic is coming to Atlanta this season and Simply A Fan is ready to help you check this off your baseball bucket list! Whether you want an all-inclusive package or just want to join us for an event or two, we are here to provide you with an opportunity to sit back, relax and let us take care of all the logistics in your trip planning so you can simply enjoy.
There are so many events during All-Star Week that it can be overwhelming unless you’ve been before. I’ve been to both Cincinnati (2015) and Los Angeles (2022) and through those adventures, I’m familiar with the entirety of the 5 days worth of fun. You will find all of the details below and your next step is to let me know what all interests you and I’ll provide you a free quote based on your selections.
By purchasing from Simply A Fan, you support our small family business. Based in Nashville, we launched in 2018 to provide sports fans with opportunities to create incredible memories on adventures at ballparks and stadiums across the country.

HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS
We have rooms at multiple locations in Marietta that you can choose from that are within 10-15 minutes of the ballpark. All of these hotels are within close proximity of each other. When filling out your interest form please indicate how many rooms, room type, how many nights and if you have a hotel preference. The locations are Home2 Suites, Hilton Garden Inn and Hampton Inn & Suites.
GROUND TRANSPORTATION
We are offering round trip ground transportation from Nashville that will be in a spacious 15 passenger sprinter van. We will leave on Friday, July 11th and return on Wednesday, July 16th. We will limit it to only 10 passengers max to ensure plenty of space for luggage and wiggle room. The ground transportation package will also include transportation to and from all events, all parking passes and of course gas for the journey.
If you would like to get yourself to Atlanta, then take advantage of ground transportation to and from the events each day, please notate that on your form.
TICKETS
The Braves and Major League Baseball do not sell group blocks of tickets for events such as the All-Star festivities. Simply A Fan will be purchasing tickets to each event on an as needed basis from season ticket holders and our network of connections. If you choose to go to multiple events there is a good chance that you will be sitting in different seats each time. When I provide your package quote, you can tell me if there are locations you do or do not want to sit and as expected. If you have a sun or shade or no preference, let me know that as well. Of course the price will adjust accordingly (i.e. – outfield seats for the HR Derby are the most expensive). I will provide you with seat location and costs, you will have the opportunity to accept or decline.
I have tracked ticket prices for All-Star Games for many years and have a good idea of the price range. Normally the closer to the event, the cheaper the tickets become, but there is also benefit in having the security that you already have your tickets 3 months out, 6 weeks out, 1 month out, etc….
MLB All-Star Village
Here is a great description from the MLB website of what this fanfest type event is all about. “Enjoy live entertainment, interactive games, savor delicious ballpark fare and soak up the unbeatable All-Star Week atmosphere. Capital One All-Star Village includes batting cages, demos with current and former players, photo ops, a Gaming Zone with the latest baseball video games and SO MUCH MORE!“

PRICING / QUOTE
Each package will be customized based on the preferences that you fill out on the interest form. It is difficult to put a price tag on the website as so many factors play into it – how many people, how many nights, how many events, ground transportation, etc…
If you wish to pay by Zelle, check or cash the price of your package will be exact pricing of each item plus a 15% trip planning costs to cover my time, labor and operational cost. If you wish to pay by debit or credit card, your package will be exact costs as mentioned above plus 18% administrative fee with the 3% difference being a card processing fee that is a pass through cost. Think of the trip planning cost like a gratuity for someone in the hospitality industry. We do all the work, you simply show up and go.
Price Structure Examples:
• If your package cost comes to $1,000 and you want to pay by card, then your trip planning cost will be 18% or $180 for a total of $1,180.
• If your package cost comes to $5,588 and you want to pay by Zelle or check, then your trip planning cost will be 15% or $838 for a total of $6,426.
Estimates
The prices for the big three events will come down on the secondary market closer we get to July, therefore if you choose to wait, I will pass that savings onto you. Here are estimates on all items mentioned above:
• Hotel Accommodations: $249 per night
• HBCU Swingman Classic (Friday): $40
• Futures Game / Celebrity Softball Game (Saturday): $50-$100
• HR Derby: $500-$5,000 (every price point in between)
• All-Star Game: $500-$5,000 (every price point in between)
• MLB All-Star Village: $25 per day
Once you submit your interest form, I will get you a quote and we will take the next steps together to carefully customize your package. We can set up a phone or Zoom call to discuss and I’ll gladly answer all your questions. When you have accepted the quote and your package is finalized, I will invoice you. We can set up a payment plan to alleviate any financial burden of paying all at once.
If your quote is not within your budget we can adjust (subtract items, change seat location, wait longer) and I will gladly send you an updated quote once we land on it. I’m very flexible.
