Among the teams that make up Major League Baseball, ticket prices per game range from $160.06 for a Chicago Cubs game to $55.80 for tickets to the Colorado Rockies, according to ticket sales company Tiqiq. The prices appear not to be based on win-loss records or the size of stadiums.
The Chicago Cubs’ Wrigley Field has 42,495 seats. The team does have a spectacular record at 24-7. In the case of the Red Sox, the team with the second highest ticket price at $132.97, Fenway Park is small, with 37,673 seats. The Red Sox have a record of 18-3. However, that is where the trend of win-loss and stadium size ends.
The storied New York Yankees play in the new Yankee Stadium. It seats 54,251. Tickets to individual games cost $118.15. The Yankees have a terrible win-loss record of 11-18.
Coors Field, home to the Rockies, also does not contribute to any pattern. It has 50,445 seats, among the largest in the league, and the team has a win-loss record of 15-16.

As baseball has evolved, so has the pattern of revenue brought in by teams. A huge amount comes in from parking and food. For the much more well to do, sky boxes can cost in the hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, based on location and size.
If there is a pattern to ticket sales, seats have nothing to do with it.
