The Augusta GreenJackets have recently announced that their opening weekend will begin on Friday, April 5 against the Columbia Fireflies, being the first time the GreenJackets have opened their season before the Master’s Tournament. There will be a three-game series against the Fireflies during opening weekend.
“We have finally made it and we couldn’t be more excited to kick off another year of GreenJackets baseball at SRP Park,” said Brandon Greene, GreenJackets general manager. “This will be the first time since SRP Park opened that the GreenJackets start at home, and it should be an action-packed weekend. We are only 6 weeks away from Opening Day, so make sure you get your tickets today.”
Tickets will be available for GreenJackets full season member, holders, and sponsors on Monday, Feb. 26 at 10 a.m. Tickets will be available for GreenJackets half season members, 20-game plan members, and founding partners on Tuesday, Feb. 27 at 10 a.m. The VIP pre-sale ends on Tuesday, Feb. 27 at 11:59 p.m. Tickets will be available to the public on Wednesday, Feb. 28 at 10 a.m. Only a limited number of tickets will be available.
At the first game on April 5, the first 2,000 fans will receive a golf towel at the gate, which is part of the yearly tradition of a towel giveaway with SRP Federal Credit Union.
At the second game on April 6, fans can arrive early and enjoy live music, and the night will end with the first firework show of the season.
Finally, at the third game on April 7, the GreenJackets will don their Braves-themed red uniform instead of their home white jerseys. One fan will also be selected to master a one shot chipping contest and could potentially win $20,000 after the game.
More details and promotions for opening weekend and the remainder of the season will be announced soon.
