Brewers Fans Could Find Cheaper World Series Tickets in Tampa
The ticket resale market for the event shows two very different situations.
The World Series ticket resale markets for the Tampa Bay Rays and Milwaukee Brewers have taken an unusual turn, creating a dilemma for Brewers fans. The Rays' victory in the American League Championship Series has resulted in drastically different ticket prices for the two teams in the upcoming series. Low-end ticket prices for the Rays' Games 3 and 4 at Tropicana Field start at $766 per ticket, while Game 1 and Game 2 at Milwaukee's American Family Field have risen to $3,107 and $2,748 respectively.
This discrepancy is not due to the Tampa price being abnormally low, but rather the Milwaukee price being extraordinarily high. TicketData founder Keith Pagello notes that a $3,000 World Series ticket in Milwaukee is highly unlikely. However, the Brewers have consistently exceeded expectations for attendance in Milwaukee, which now ranks 11th in league attendance.
The Rays, on the other hand, have seen a surge in fan interest since the recent addition of a new ownership group and a new ballpark. Brewers fans may find more affordable options by traveling to Tampa for the second half of the World Series, with potential savings of over $2,000 per ticket. This scenario is being closely monitored, as this is the first World Series since 1980 where both teams are fighting for their first championship title.
