The 3, 4, or 5 day passes are the same price for everyone, there is not a special "deal" for FIRST (never has been), they just have a special web page for every event coming to town to make it easier for people to find.

That said, if you ride twice a day for 3 days you are saving money, and it just gets more economical every time you ride above that. Also, since last year MARTA has done away with the tokens and gone to RFID embedded tickets, so you can now buy a multi day pass from the vending machines in any station, no having to go to the store in the airport or try to order them in advance. The vending machines take cash or plastic.
