Drew Weisholtz is a reporter for TODAY Digital, focusing on pop culture, nostalgia and trending stories.

The hottest ticket in town may be the highest ticket in town. The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees will square off in the World Series, with the average ticket price going for just under $1,500. The matchup features two longtime rivals, teams with big fan bases and superstar players in Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge, Juan Soto and Mookie Betts. Add that up and you’re looking at tickets that fetch a lot of cash.
StubHub says ticket sales spiked 71% in the last 24 hours, already surpassing ticket sales from last year’s World Series, which pitted the Arizona Diamondbacks against the Texas Rangers. Budelli sees this as a phenomenon that doesn’t happen too often, noting it’s similar to Taylor Swift and her “Eras Tour.” “We saw this last over the past year and a half or so with the Taylor Swift tour globally,” he said.
