Yankees-Dodgers World Series among most expensive, fastest-selling of all time on secondary market

The superstars will be out on both coasts beginning Friday, and you will have to pay a hefty price to see the action.

This year’s World Series will feature the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers — a record 12th time the two historic franchises will meet in the Fall Classic.

Between both rosters, there are 64 All-Star nods, making it one of the most star-studded sporting events ever.

And people are lined up to get to the ballparks.

StubHub says sales on the site for this year’s World Series have quadrupled the Houston Astros-Philadelphia Phillies World Series from 2022, and surpassed sales from last year’s showdown between the Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks.

As of 10 a.m. Tuesday, the average price for a ticket sold on StubHub is $1,667, the highest recorded by the site since 2017. The get-in price for Game 1 on Friday for one single ticket is $1,170.

TicketIQ says only the Chicago Cubs’ World Series season in 2016 was more expensive since it began tracking pricing data; this year’s average price on its site is $3,887, while that Fall Classic averaged $4,557 per ticket.

The site also says the average price for the contests at New York’s Yankee Stadium (Games 3, 4 and 5) are averaging $4,875 a pop, the second-most behind only the $6,641 at Chicago’s Wrigley Field from that magical 2016 season. Of course, the prices are high due to a combination of the matchup and the fact that Monday night will mark the first World Series game played in the Bronx since 2009.

Games 1, 2, 6 and 7 at Dodger Stadium are the third-highest ever, at $3,146, even though it’s their fourth World Series since 2017.
