World Series ticket prices for potential games in St. Petersburg, Florida, dropped 37% over a three-day span to $536 as the Tampa Bay Rays fell into a 2-0 hole against the Milwaukee Brewers, deadspin.com reported.
Milwaukee Ticket Prices Set Record Highs Before Series Shifts East
The steep decline in Florida stands in sharp contrast to the soaring costs recorded at American Family Field in Wisconsin. TicketData.com figures show the opening game in Milwaukee commanded an unprecedented $2,338, while Game 2 drew an average of $2,269. Both figures comfortably cleared the previous World Series mark of $1,809 set during Game 4 of the 2016 matchup between the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland at Wrigley Field.
Tampa Bay Prices Slip as Series Shifts to Tropicana Field
Once the series moved toward the weekend, the market for games in St. Petersburg began softening rapidly. Prior to the Brewers securing a 5-4 comeback win in Game 2, seats for Game 3 reached $839 on Friday. Prices slid to $684 by Saturday and fell further to $600 by Sunday morning before settling at $536 ahead of Monday night’s matchup at Tropicana Field.
Game 4 and Game 5 Costs Follow Downward Trend
The cooling ticket market extends beyond Monday’s contest. Seats for a potential Game 4 dropped 12% over the same three-day window to $755. A possible Game 5 saw an even steeper retreat, falling 20% over 72 hours to $700. All three potential home dates in Florida sit at less than half the cost required to enter the ballparks in Milwaukee.
