at Truist Park remained above $1,000 as of Thursday afternoon, and some of
those tickets came without a seat.
Some sellers on StubHub, the official fan-to-fan ticket marketplace partner
of MLB, and other resale sites were seeking between $1,000 and $1,300 for
standing-room-only tickets to the Braves’ first World Series home game
since 1999.
The average price for the 2,055 tickets listed on StubHub for the game was $
1,633 (plus fees) as of Thursday afternoon, up from an average of $1,588 the
day before, according to a spokeswoman for the company. A seat in the “
Home Run Porch” beyond left-center field was listed for $1,400. A seat in
the “Truist Club” section directly behind home plate had an asking price
of $10,750.
The prices are causing sticker shock for many Braves fans. According to
TicketIQ founder Jesse Lawrence, the secondary-market prices for the games
at Truist Park are the third-highest for the World Series at any venue since
2010.
The top factor that drives World Series prices on the resale market is how
long it has been since the home team last played in the event, Lawrence said
. For the Braves, the wait has been 22 years. By far the highest prices,
Lawrence said, were for games at Chicago’s Wrigley Field in 2016, when the
Cubs were in the World Series for the first time since 1945 and won it for
the first time since 1908.
Even fans who were able to buy “extremely limited” tickets directly from
the Braves during a brief online sale to the general public early this week
faced lofty prices. The Braves use a dynamic pricing model on single-game
tickets that adjusts prices depending on demand.
The best prices were offered to season-ticket holders, who last month could
buy strips of tickets to all potential postseason home games, including the
World Series, but other fans faced significantly higher prices even when
buying from the team. | m***n
