Red Sox Data:

  • The Red Sox are favorites to win it all, and ticket prices in Boston reflect that confidence. Prices to see a World Series Game at Fenway park averages $2,082, making it one of only five teams to have an average price over $2,000 this decade.
  • Prices for 2018 are 31% above the series average at Fenway park in 2013.

Dodgers Data:

  • For the underdog Dodgers, the average price or tickets to their second-consecutive World Series is $1,353. The cheapest ticket to see one of the three games at Dodgers Stadium is $680. At current prices, it’s the 10th most expensive World Series home prices we’ve tracked.
  • Prices are down 51% from last years prices, largely b/c there is no chance for a game 6 or game 7, both of which will take place at Fenway Park, if needed.
  • While the average price for the entire series is down, the cheapest ticket for 2018 are actually more expensive than 2017, which dipped below $500 after the Dodgers game 4 loss last season.
