Yankees Stay Alive, but N.Y. Ticket Prices One-Third of L.A. Rates

  • Prices are still down for the final World Series game at Yankee Stadium.
  • Demand is surging back in Los Angeles amid a potential Dodgers clinch at home.

The World Series now has a different energy, with the Yankees avoiding a sweep to the Dodgers and dramatically breaking out of an extended offensive funk with 11 runs in a Game 4 win. But the ticket resale market is showing two very different trends for the rest of the high-profile matchup. 

Even after New York’s resurgent win, tickets for Wednesday’s Game 5 at Yankee Stadium can still be had for as little as $450, a little more than a third of the level they were at a week ago and in line with get-in prices following a market crash earlier this week

As the Yankees offense has rebounded and ace pitcher Gerrit Cole is scheduled to start Game 5, pricing for Games 6 and 7 at Dodger Stadium begins at about $1,300 each. 

A meaningful part of that pricing, beyond the luster of the World Series itself, comes from the now-enhanced prospect of the Dodgers clinching the title on their home field—something that didn’t happen after the team’s four most recent World Series wins in 2020, 1988, 1981, and 1965. 

Before that potentially happens, though, the Yankees are relishing having a full dose of home fan energy at Yankee Stadium after three losses to open the World Series.

“I was just glad because it felt like the fans were so ready to erupt,” said Yankees manager Aaron Boone. “It’s like you finally got to see the top blow off Yankee Stadium in a World Series game.”

Security Matters

MLB and the Yankees said Thursday that season-ticket holder Austin Capobianco will be barred from Yankee Stadium for Game 5 after he and a friend, John Peter, forcefully interfered with Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts during the first inning of Game 4. During a pop-up by Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres, Peter grabbed Betts’s non-glove hand while Capobianco grabbed the glove and pried the ball out. Torres was ruled out on fan interference.

The pair of fans were ejected from Game 4, but Capobianco told ESPN on Tuesday they would come back for Game 5. But that, in fact, will not be happening after the move by the league and team, and the fans will be refunded their ticket money.

Far beyond a simple reaching for a foul ball, the behavior by Capobianco and Peter marked an aggressive touching of players that has long been prohibited across many pro sports leagues.

“Can’t put hands on a player like that,” said a league source. 

Betts, for his part, downplayed the incident after Game 4, despite being visibly agitated in the moment.

“It doesn’t matter,” he said. “We lost. It’s irrelevant. I’m fine. He’s fine. Everything’s cool. We lost the game and that’s what I’m kind of focused on. We got to turn the page and get ready for tomorrow.”
