World Series News: What is the cheapest ticket for Game 2?

World Series News: What is the cheapest ticket for Game 2?

Not surprisingly, the cheapest ticket to Saturday's Game 2 of the World Series at Dodger Stadium isn't cheap.

Somewhat surprisingly, it's not available through SeatGeek's used market, but rather through the Dodgers' website — and it's possible to get it for less than $1,000.

When the clock struck midnight on the West Coast on Saturday, the cheapest ticket available was in the far corner of left field. The 20 available seats in section 61RS – from the back corner in row JJ, seat 12, to the front row (AA) – retail for $852.25 each including fees.

At this price it is possible to get just two or even eight seats together.

On SeatGeek, the cheapest ticket available was a few sections further, section 53RS, near the top of left field. A single seat in row FF cost $973 including fees.

The most expensive seats? Three rows directly behind the baseplate, a group of four seats, were available for $19,500 each – a total of $94,402.00 including fees, about the same as a 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class sport utility vehicle .

Dodger fans who attended Game 1 of the World Series on Friday got their money's worth – or at least as close to it as a baseball game would allow. The Dodgers defeated the Yankees 6-3 on Freddie Freeman's grand slam in the 10th inning. It was the first walkoff grand slam in the history of the World Series, first played in 1901.

The Yankees were leading 3-2 when a walk by Gavin Lux and a single by Tommy Edman put runners on first and second with one out in the 10th inning. Edman was the last of three batters faced by right-hander Jake Cousins, who gave way to Cortes while left-handed slugger Shohei Ohtani took his turn.

Ohtani saw a throw from Cortes and fired it to left field, where Alex Verdugo made an incredible catch by leaning over the short fence in foul territory. That paved the way for Freeman to end the game with a hit on the only pitch he saw from Cortes.

Freeman finished the game 2 for 5 with a triple and a home run. A sprained right ankle left him out of the Dodgers' lineup for Games 4 and 6 of the National League Championship Series and played hero, just as he had 36 years earlier disabled Kirk Gibson.

“It felt like nothing, just kind of floating,” Freeman said of the feeling of rounding the bases. “This is as good as it gets.”
