LOS ANGELES – The World Series shifts to Los Angeles this week as the Dodgers host Games 3 through 5.
The upcoming three home games come as the Dodgers look to become the first repeat World Series champions since the New York Yankees, who completed a three-peat from 1998 to 2000. Fans looking to complete a sports bucket list by seeing the Boys in Blue in-person may have to fork up some dough as all remaining tickets are well over $600 per person.
HOW MUCH ARE TICKETS?
Cost of admission for the Fall Classic is no longer listed at face value on MLB’s official sites, as World Series tickets have sold out long before the two teams even got into the league championship series. That being said, all tickets sold on popular sites like Ticketmaster, Gametime, SeatGeek, StubHub, TickPick and Vivid Seats are listed on a secondary, resale basis, meaning prices will fluctuate between Sunday, October 26 and first pitch of Games 3, 4 and 5 between Monday and Wednesday.
According to TickPick, below are the prices of admission for Game 3, 4 and 5:
GAME 3 TICKETS
- Cheapest: $624 for Section 306, or Right Field Pavilion
- Most expensive: $4,124 for Section 15, behind the Dodgers dugout
GAME 4 TICKETS
- Cheapest: $732 for Section 314, or Right Field Pavilion
- Most expensive: $5,201 for Section 19, behind the Dodgers dugout
GAME 5 TICKETS
- Cheapest: $724 for Section 52 Reserve
- Most expensive: $5,378 for Section 7 Field Level
In terms of price-tracking, the cost of admission seemed to have gone down compared to when the matchup between Los Angeles and Toronto was set. Back on October 20, the cheapest get-in prices for the Dodgers’ first home World Series game were listed on resale site TickPick for just under $800 with fees already included. Fast-forward to six days later, the get-in prices for Dodger Stadium home World Series game have gone down by about $80.
During the same time FOX 11 checked ticket prices on October 20, second Dodger Stadium home World Series game ticket prices were listed just under $750 for the so-called “nosebleed sections” of the ballpark, according to TickPick at the time. Compared to the TickPick prices last checked on October 26, the cost of admission to see Shohei Ohtani pitch in Game 4 have (somewhat) gone down by about $20.
