World Series Ticket Price Record Could Fall Twice in 24 Hours

MILWAUKEE — In a remarkable turnaround, the resale price record for the 2026 World Series opener at American Family Field has been broken twice within a mere 24 hours. On Friday, the final low-end resale price for the game between the Rays and Brewers, which Milwaukee won 3-2, reached $2,338, according to TicketData. This surpassed all previous World Series games, including Game 4 of the 2016 World Series between Cleveland and the Cubs by 29%.

The enthusiasm for the Milwaukee Brewers, who are making their first World Series appearance in 44 years, has propelled the local ticket resale market to unprecedented heights. As of Saturday morning, the entry price for Game 2 of the World Series has skyrocketed to $2,490, reflecting the fervor among fans, many of whom began queuing for American Family Field parking lots over six hours before its opening and more than 10 hours before the first pitch.

The atmosphere inside the stadium was described as "electric" by Brewer's starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski, who was overjoyed to witness the city's passionate fanbase. Commissioner Rob Manfred also commended the Milwaukee fans, hailing the city's atmosphere as "unbelievable." While Milwaukee's ticket prices have far outpaced those in Tampa, where the Rays are playing the remaining games of the series, Brewer's fans have shown an unmatched level of energy and excitement.
