On October 20th, the Los Angeles Dodgers secured their spot in the World Series by defeating the New York Mets 10-5 in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series, winning the best-of-seven series four games to two. They are now set to face the New York Yankees in a highly anticipated championship showdown.
This “battle of the titans” has captured global attention. Recently, the Dodgers quietly released tickets for four home games, and in just one day, they were completely sold out. The ticket prices for this thrilling matchup between two powerhouse teams have reached five figures.
Although the starting ticket price for the World Series is listed at $800, the secondary market has seen entry-level tickets starting at $1,081 as of the afternoon of October 19th. Seats located in the upper level above the right field line are among the cheaper options, with prices ranging from $1,392 to $1,733 for locations further back in the right field area. For the best views right behind home plate, tickets are going for between $15,000 and $20,000.
Rather than launching a formal advertising campaign, the Dodgers opted to notify previous ticket buyers via email and share the ticket sale information on social media. Their website warns that tickets purchased for resale may be subject to cancellation and refunds by the team.
It’s been over 40 years since the Dodgers last faced off against the Yankees, back in 1981. With both teams boasting star-studded rosters, including heavyweights like Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts, this World Series matchup is poised to set new viewership records.
Last year, in the 2023 World Series between the Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks, the cheapest ticket for the opening game was a standing ticket priced at $451, with seated tickets starting at $774.
