The day after Shohei Ohtani‘s Dodgers eliminated the New York Mets in the NLCS, tickets for the World Series have hit record levels.

Tickets for the World Series go for at least $1,000.

Resell tickets for the World Series series opener at Dodger Stadium started at $1,358 on Monday on StubHub.

That cost is near the range of how much a fan needs to spend to attend one of Swift‘s iconic Eras Tour concerts.

The cheapest starting price for the last North American leg of the tour had ranged between $1,661 and $2,322 at the start of September.

The series will take place in the Bronx for Games 3, 4, and (if needed) 5 on October 28, October 29, and October 30.

A RECORD-BREAKING SERIES?

Besides the fact that two of the biggest markets will square off against each other, there are many reasons why the 2024 World Series is expected to be one of the highest-viewed championships in MLB history.

The Yankees are led by megastars Aaron Judge and Juan Soto, with slugger Giancarlo Stanton winning the ALCS MVP after hitting four home runs to help clinch the pennant.

The 27-time World Series champion Bronx Bombers haven’t made it to the big stage since 2009.

The Dodgers, meanwhile, certainly don’t lack the star power.

Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman are just among the top contributors to the franchise.

The Dodgers had the best record in the MLB, winning 98 games in the 2024 regular season.

They last won the World Series in the 2020 60-game Covid-19 season.

This will be the 12th time the Yankees and Dodgers will meet up in the World Series.

The Yankees are 8-3 all-time versus the Dodgers in the championship round.
