Major League Baseball is setting all kinds of records this
season after drawing over 4 million fans in Spring Training and with that the
price of a ticket to see a game is going up along with it, unless you’re in New
York. The average ticket price for a major league game is up 3.3% from the 2014
season across the league but the tickets for the New York Yankees remained the
same this season. The average price for a ticket across the league is $28.94
which accounts for the steepest increase in six seasons.
The Boston Red Sox had the highest average at $52.34 per
ticket without an increase in 2015 while the Yankees sit at $51.55 per ticket.
The Cubs raised their tickets for the first time since 2010 to $44.81 per
ticket while the average ticket for the Los Angeles Dodgers is still just
$28.61 despite a record $270 million payroll. The Royals had the largest
increase in 2015 after getting to the World Series in 2014 when the team bumped
tickets up 20.3% to $29.76 per ticket. The World Series champion San Francisco
Giants tickets raised as well to $33.78 which is just about a 6.8% jump from a
season ago.
