MLB Ticket Prices: The 10 Most Expensive and Least Expensive Teams (Miami Vacation, Anyone?)

It’s almost time for fall baseball — and thus, the last chance to see your favorite teams before the end of the season. If you are lucky, you might get a few more weeks of fun in the playoffs.

But which teams offer the most affordable tickets, and which are more likely to cause you to strike out on your budget?

After the first half of the 2023 season, Financebuzz collected average ticket prices for every Major League Baseball team on the resale site Stubhub. 

Do ticket re-sellers for your favorite team help keep more money in your wallet? Or are they stealing your money like Ronald Acuña steals bases?

Our list starts with the teams with the highest average Stubhub prices in baseball.

Average ticket price: $80.14

The Astros are the reigning World Series champions, so it might surprise some fans that they finish in 10th place when it comes to StubHub ticket prices.

Average ticket price: $80.47

In addition to having the ninth-priciest tickets on StubHub, a 2022 FinanceBuzz survey found that Giants fans were in the top five when it came to spending money at the ballpark on food and drink.

Average ticket price: $80.59

The Mets can be an expensive option for New York fans. But another team in the Big Apple charges even more.

Average ticket price: $85.02

The reigning National League champions may have high-priced resale tickets, but fans spend less on other aspects of the game-day experience. 

The Phillies rank in the bottom five for both average total food, drink, and beer costs, according to the FinanceBuzz survey.

Average ticket price: $86.03

The Diamondbacks have been in Phoenix since 1998, which makes them relatively new by Major League Baseball standards. However, they still have some of the highest ticket prices on StubHub.

Average ticket price: $89.37

The 2021 World Series champions are still able to pack in fans despite having some of the most expensive resale tickets in the league.

Average ticket price: $90.99

San Diego’s Petco Park may have a spectacular view of downtown, but that view comes at a steep ticket price.

Average ticket price: $96.92

Fenway Park is a beloved old baseball stadium that has the Green Monster outfield wall, but it will cost you a pretty penny to see it in person.

Average ticket price: $107.93

The Yankees are one of only two teams on this list where the average ticket price is above $100. It’s a testament to how popular the team is that resellers can charge so much.

Average ticket price: $117.33

The Los Angeles Dodgers have a dedicated fan base that lives in an area with a high cost of living. Even baseball tickets here are the most expensive in the league.

Not every city has a sky-high price to go out to the ballgame. If you live in one of the following cities, you can still get a good bargain on tickets.

Average ticket price: $63.96

Baseball fans in the Twin Cities get a good deal regarding StubHub ticket prices: The Twins are one of the more affordable options in baseball.

Average ticket price: $63.91

The team on Chicago’s South Side has been playing since 1901. After more than a century, the Sox still keep ticket prices reasonable — which translates to reasonable prices on StubHub, as well.

Average ticket price: $62.85

Head to the nation’s capital if you want cheap baseball tickets. You can watch the Nationals — as well as the famous racing presidents during the fourth inning of each game — at a decent price.

Average ticket price: $61.60

Check out a great — and affordable — view of the Gateway Arch from Busch Stadium in St. Louis when you watch the Cardinals.

Average ticket price: $61.42

Fans of the Oakland A’s might not be able to take advantage of affordable ticket prices for much longer. Reports say the team plans to move to Las Vegas in the near future.

Average ticket price: $59.53

Ahoy, Pirates fans! Check out PNC Park for cheap tickets and great views of downtown Pittsburgh along the Allegheny River.

Average ticket price: $56.07

So, how far can a ball travel in the thin air of the Mile High City? You can find out with an affordable visit to see the Rockies play in Denver.

Average ticket price: $54.26

A trip to a Tigers game can be an affordable option for fans. The 2022 FinanceBuzz survey also found that Tigers fans spend less on food and drink than any other fans in Major League Baseball.

Average ticket price: $47.74

Pick up some beers at a Brewers game, which you’ll be able to afford after paying the second-lowest price for MLB tickets on StubHub.

Average ticket price: $34.93

This year, the Marlins celebrated the 20th anniversary of their second World Series win back in 2003. (The team won its first world title in 1997.)

The Marlins have by far the cheapest average ticket prices on StubHub. You can save even more on tickets and concessions if you use one of the best credit cards for cash back.

Baseball games can be expensive or relatively cheap, depending on where you live.

No matter how costly tickets are in your area, you can boost your bank account by buying straight from the team, not buying merchandise at the game, and keeping food and drink purchases to a minimum. Play ball!
