The post season is only for the rich. The vast majority are sold in advance to ticket brokers. Now the ticket brokers are selling them to people at astronomical increases. $1800 for standing room for game 3. In 2 days those tickets will be $3k-$4k and you don't even get a seat!!!

I could spend that money and then forfeit our family vacation. Sorry I prefer a trip over telling people down the line I was there!

Why would you want to pay 10 grand after tickets for the nosebleed seats, hotel and other costs to watch a stupid baseball game when you could watch it at home for free?

what do you expect in this day and age? five dollar tickets.

In 1954 the St Louis Browns moved to Baltimore and became the Orioles. Bleacher seats were 50 cents.

I couldn't agree more. I could go but then give up the family cruise I booked in Nov.

Get over yourself buddy. I fully expected the tickets to be insane.

I just find it to be bullshit that 80% of the tickets are sold beforehand to ticket brokers.

Why would you want to go on a cruise and risk over flowing toilets and eating onion sandwiches to survive. I'll take the series but I choose to eat over both of those options.

It is free on Fox...

I understand wanting to be part of history but there is a point where it cost too much!

Sounds like you have never been on a cruise!

To be fair/honest, it's been this way for a long time. I paid a hefty price to go to a World Series Game 7 many years back. If you don't have the money for that luxury, don't spend it. Watch it on TV. Or watch it on the screen outside.

$2K for a ticket is a lot even by recent standards; but its higher than normal because it's a historical series.

I bought two tickets from a broker for Ravens/49ers Super Bowl 47 in New Orleans. 2K each. Ravens won and it was one of the top 5 experiences of my life. I don't think I'll ever pay that much again for a sporting event. But for that one game and trip it was money well spent.
