Screw the Braves Autograph Fanfest !

I dont have a problem with the money going to charity. Less crowds and greedy dealers

What a joke, I will be skipping this one. Guess the Braves haven't heard that there is a recession, they will find out when Turner is half full this year.

As long as they sell out the CHC, BOS and NYY games I doubt they really care how full the Ted is any more.

I, too, will be skipping this lame excuse for a fanfest.

I went two years ago with Semper Fi and it was ok. Heard horrors about it last year. I won't bother even considering this mess this year.

If anybody does go, please video tape the craziness when they are having to tell people to stop switching into lines they dont have tickets for.....

The price for the levels is not that crazy but not knowing who is going to be on which level and the time allotted to you is alarming.

Two years ago it was the regular FanFest held at the Ted. Sure, it was outside and cold but you could actually get to several different stations for autographs if you did a bit of planning (and running).

Last year was a complete mess. Two tables, no clue who would be at either at any time and LOOOOOOOOONG lines of 100's of people; many of whom probably never made it to the front.

This year, a complete waste. All of the guys with single ticket prices are relatively easy to get for FREE throughout the season if you know where to be at the right time (it isn't hard to figure out by any means). Sure, it's for charity, but this setup is a crock of crap. Something tells me the same idiot woman who thought last year was a great idea is in charge of it again this year.

Last year was horrible. Hopefully they will learn this year from other teams. I regretted going last year. I will pass this year.

I went last year and I am so glad I bought the Elite passes for both days. Without those, the trip (I live in MN) would have been a complete waste. I got everyone who signed and got pictures with everyone. Thank god I went last year and never have to deal with the Braves Fan Fest till they get their act together.

its quite sad when you stop and think about it. 2 years ago they charged you $20 to get in and they said that the money was going to charity, which im fine with. I saw nothin wrong with the old way they ran this event. Now its a complete waste of time. I will go to Disney and get all of them for free. And have more fun doing it.

Doesn't look that bad now that they changed things.

$100 bucks for francoeur wow thats insane. everyone knows he pretty much an automatic signing machine when the season starts. way too much for me.
