The World Series between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers has shifted to New York for Game 3 after the Dodgers took a 2-0 lead in the series. Ticket prices for the series have seen some fluctuations, with a slight drop in prices for Game 3 leading up to Monday night’s game. Despite the dip in prices, the overall average price for the series remains steady at around $1,700 on StubHub’s resale market.
Sales for Games 3 through 5 in New York saw a 30 percent increase over the weekend, with strong demand for higher-end seats. StubHub spokesperson Adam Budelli noted that the outcome of the games can influence ticket prices, with prices likely to rise if the Yankees win Game 3.
The average ticket prices for the series on StubHub have been significantly higher compared to previous World Series matchups, with prices ranging from $1,457 for Game 1 to $1,920 for Game 5. The anticipation for potentially historic games has driven up prices, making this series one of the most expensive in recent history.
Fans are advised to purchase tickets in advance, as prices are expected to rise, especially if the series goes to Game 7. StubHub offers refunds for contingent games that are not played, ensuring fans can secure their tickets with confidence. With the possibility of a Game 7, Budelli predicts it could be one of the highest-priced baseball games in history.
