World Series ticket prices for Phillies home games among the highest ever
Our MLB insider Steve Gardner shares how the Philadelphia Phillies reached their first World Series in 13 years/,” Phillies radio play-by-play broadcaster Scott Franzke put it best when he described the scene in Philadelphia as “bedlam at the Bank,” in reference to the Phillies’ home field of Citizens Bank Park.
From the looks of it, bedlam is about to become an exclusive event. Tickets to watch the Phillies in their home field have reached an average of more than $3,200, the second-highest average World Series ticket price in MLB history, behind the 2016 Chicago Cubs. The Houston Astros, who will face the Phillies in the 2022 World Series, are averaging home game ticket prices around $1,500 – less than half of Philadelphia’s.
Philadelphia’s first home game will be played on Halloween night. The cheapest prices for two standing-room tickets are just under $1,000 on ticket resale website Stubhub. Lower-level tickets above the Phillies’ dugout are selling for around $4,000 on the same site. And one pair of Diamond Club tickets are selling for $17,100 each.
A sales associate with the Philadelphia Phillies disclosed that the only available tickets sold through the Phillies office are held exclusively for season ticket holders. The only hope for the general public to purchase tickets directly from Citizens Bank Park would be to enter a lottery on the Phillies website.
