Baseball fans, brace yourselves! The 2024 World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees is already shaping up to be one of the hottest tickets in years—literally. On Monday evening, resale prices for Friday’s Game 1 at Dodger Stadium started at a staggering $1,358 on StubHub, and the frenzy shows no signs of slowing down.
StubHub revealed that sales for this year’s Fall Classic have outpaced last year’s numbers, with a demand that’s four times higher than the 2022 World Series. While fans on both coasts are eager to witness the action, it’s New York that’s driving prices through the roof. Tickets for Games 3, 4, and 5 at Yankee Stadium are 40% higher than those for Games 1, 2, 6, and 7 at Dodger Stadium.
For those seeking to attend, Vivid Seats reported average ticket prices reaching astronomical levels. The average for Game 1 on Friday is $1,302, while Game 3 at Yankee Stadium will set you back about $1,443—the highest so far. These prices are nearly double last year’s average of $685 for the Texas Rangers-Arizona Diamondbacks Series, marking a dramatic spike in demand.
This year’s Series pits two of the most iconic franchises in baseball history against each other, sparking a massive surge in interest and skyrocketing ticket prices. The Dodgers earned their spot after defeating the New York Mets in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series, and now they’ll face the Yankees in what promises to be an unforgettable showdown.
If you’re planning to snag a last-minute ticket, be ready to shell out some serious cash—because this historic Dodgers-Yankees faceoff is already breaking records in more ways than one!
