Price of World Series tickets

hokieonehokieone5,000+ posts
I just checked the schedule and if by some chance the Orioles get there, and I wanted to satisfy my lifelong dream to see a World Series game in person, here's the tab.

Tickets from the Orioles: all sold out

Tickets on Stub Hub: the CHEAPEST ticket, standing room only, is going for....... $591.00 To take my wife and 2 sons, and how could I not, and to actually have a decent place to sit, would run over $4000.

Ouch. Praise the Lord for HD TV.

The most I've paid for baseball tickets was $550 for two 1986 Red Sox-Angels playoff tickets in Anaheim. It would probably be twice as much today. I got to see Hendu's series saving homer off Donnie Moore. That just led to experiencing the nightmare of the World Series.

Check out the price... Big Grin

I went to one of games in San Diego as the guest of someone with a box. I was two rows from Garvey's homer (used on TWIB) to right-center against the Cubs in NLCS. I had four tickets to the Padres-Cubs game. I sold two. A Cubs fan was so desperate to get in when I told him I wanted $100 (for two tickets) he shoved $200 in my hand and grabbed the tickets.

The Orioles are sold out because they sold all their tickets to Stub Hub. The Phillies did the same thing.

After a couple of years of post season play, I learned that the Rangers let you register for "a chance" to buy ALDS, ALCS & WS tickets. If you're lucky enough to be chosen, you have about a day to buy them at face value. This is early September, so if they don't make it (like this year) you get a refund sometime after they're eliminated.

My husband attended the 1991 nlcs and world series. I can't find the stubs right now... lol ... but I think all together it was less than $125. They both had home offices and were using their fancy speaker phones with "redial". The friend got through first and called on his "mobile phone" so husband wouldn't double the purchase... ahhh the good old days. :-)

Well, how about this:

Just got an e-mail from the Orioles with a special password that will allow me to buy up to 4 tickets to a World Series game, from the Orioles, IF the O's get there, and IF I get through on the computer during a special 2 hour window next Wednesday. Hallelujah!

Now we need to beat those stinking Yankees somehow the next 2 nights. This is as close as I've gotten to an Orioles World Series...

Go OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO's !!!!!!!! (please!)

Kinda neat seeing you put that pic on here.

hokie -- did something similar for the phils in '08, though it was a "lottery" process to get the right to fight it out online. got three SRO tix to game 4 (when howard hit 2 HRs and blanton homered), arrived early straight from the Eagles game, and got to stand behind home plate. i think those tix at the time were $50 apiece.

money very well spent...
