Tickets for the World Series showdown between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers They have broken records on the resale market and are among the most expensive in history. Before Game 1 at Dodger Stadium, the cheapest tickets cost $1,000, a price that left fans wondering if the experience could be better than watching from home.

Game 3, which marked the first World Series game at Yankee Stadium since 2009, had its own premium price, with the lowest seat available at $936 (after fees) on TickPick, a secondary marketplace similar to StubHub, SeatGeek and Ticketmaster. However, with the Yankees losing three games to none, prices for game 4 have plummeted to $559, still hefty but much lower — half what tickets cost before the series began.

Ticket prices for teams with poor records generally drop as the season progresses, as fan interest wanes. The Colorado Rockies, for example, sold tickets for as little as $3 during their lackluster regular season, finishing just above the Chicago White Sox for the league’s worst record. So while some Yankees fans might be surprised by the price drop, it’s not unprecedented. In the 2022 American League Championship Series, after falling behind 3-0 to the Houston Astros, the Yankees saw Tickets for the fourth game drop to as low as $20 in an effort to fill the stands. Despite the crowd’s enthusiasm, the Yankees lost that game 6-5 and the Astros advanced to the World Series.

The Yankees struggled again last night, with starter Clarke Schmidt lasting just 2.2 innings and allowing three earned runs on three hits. Giancarlo Stanton provided the Yankees’ first hit of the night in the bottom of the fourth, but the team did not score until Alex Verdugo’s two-run homer in the ninth. Unfortunately, Gleyber Torres grounded out to end the game, sealing a disappointing night.

With temperatures forecast to drop to 58 degrees for the first pitch of Game 4, fans could find prices dropping even further, creating a potential opportunity for dedicated fans hoping to see postseason action at Yankee Stadium. .
