Part 3/8:
Given this reduced capacity, fans can expect drastic increases in ticket prices. Reports indicate that season tickets in premium areas could rise by nearly 40%. For instance, tickets in the Home Plate Club section, priced at $1,959 last season, have surged to $2,632 for 2025—a staggering 38.8% increase.
This sharp spike in pricing has led to a wave of frustration among fans and season ticket holders. Billy Martin, a veteran ticket holder, noted that his friends experienced similar hikes, bringing their tickets to about $26,000. Despite this, many fans, understanding the business strategy behind supply and demand, still express a desire to renew their tickets for the upcoming season.
