Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, USATue Oct 22 2024
The stage is set for a baseball extravaganza: the Dodgers versus the New York Yankees in the World Series. Both teams are known for spending big, and fans are doing the same to secure tickets. On the day after the Dodgers clinched their spot, resale prices skyrocketed. This is one of the most anticipated matchups in baseball history, taking place in the two most populous cities in the U. S. The series kicks off on Friday. If you're planning to watch two games at Dodger Stadium, be prepared to fork out at least $2, 500 for tickets. On Monday afternoon, the cheapest ticket for Game 1 on StubHub was $1, 326, a 23% increase from the night before. The lowest price for any of the four potential games in Los Angeles was $1, 268. The Dodgers sold out their tickets quickly. They control much of the resale market, so prices tend to be similar across different sites. On Vivid Seats, the minimum price for any game at Dodger Stadium was $1, 202. StubHub reported that their sales for this year's World Series have already topped last year's and are four times higher than the sales for the 2022 series.

On Monday, the lowest price for a Game 3 ticket at Yankee Stadium on Vivid Seats was $1, 536—and that's just for standing room.
