The get-in price for Tuesday’s MLB All-Star Game has surpassed that of the France-Spain World Cup semifinal.
Ticket prices reached $1,388 on Tuesday, surpassing the $1,301 minimum price for the same day France-Spain semifinal match in Dallas, according to TicketData.
This year’s All-Star Game is also dramatically more expensive than recent editions. Game-day get-in prices were $223 in Atlanta in 2025, $268 in Texas in 2024, and $367 in Seattle in 2023. Philadelphia’s current price is six times last year’s get-in cost and nearly four times the price in Seattle three years ago, according to TicketData.
In each of the past three years, the get-in price fell by more than 50% between MLB Opening Day and the day of the All-Star Game, according to TicketData founder Keith Pagello. This year, prices have more than doubled from roughly $600 on Opening Day.
The biggest factor is a shortage of tickets on the resale market. Fewer than 1,000 tickets have been available across the major resale sites since the end of last week, Pagello said in a statement to Front Office Sports.
Prices for the All-Star Game had already climbed to $1,199 by Monday night, a sharp increase from the $647 reported one week earlier, before rising further Tuesday. The trend accelerated as buyers saw Home Run Derby prices continue to rise over the weekend.
“The exhilarating finish to the Home Run Derby certainly added fuel to an already very hot market,” Pagello said.
Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker defeated Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber 12–11 in the final after hitting six consecutive home runs on his last six swings, becoming the first St. Louis player to win the event.
The get-in cost for the Home Run Derby reached $1,541 before Monday, a 176% increase over the previous three days, according to TicketData. By comparison, the previous three Derbies had get-in prices of $184 in Atlanta, $119 in Texas, and $365 in Seattle.
The surge in demand is particularly notable given the star power missing from Tuesday’s game. Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge will not play, as well as several prominent pitchers, including Paul Skenes, Tarik Skubal, Cam Schlittler, Jacob Misiorowski, and Zack Wheeler.
“This will almost certainly be the most expensive MLB All-Star Game on record,” Pagello said. “I think a lot of this comes down to Philadelphia once again proving itself to be one of the country’s strongest and most passionate sports markets. Last-minute demand is high, inventory is extremely limited, and fans appear genuinely excited about the game.”
