outstanding statement. some of the most serious fans often aren't seen or heard... it reminds me of my dear, departed paternal grandfather, Fred, a lifetime Tigers fan, who never even WATCHED baseball. he ONLY listened to games on the radio - and he never missed an inning...
I agree, I used to go to at least 2 or 3 Yankee games in the regular season a year but even that is kind of crazy now. I only go if someone has an extra ticket or I get them from work. I used to go to one Giants game a year too, but it's just too much money now even though I can get a season ticket price through my grandpa. It's not even fun anymore when you get home and realize you just spent hundreds of dollars on tickets and a couple beers. But let's go Yankees!
@@mjc8052 Exactly! I sat in the 400 section when the Red Sox came to town & they were around $70 each. I expected them to be a bit more than $20 or $30 because it’s the Red Sox but idk $200 just sounds incorrect for that section
The caller just calls to say that the tickets are outrageous , which he's right about.And of course michael k takes the opportunity to jump down his throat like he always does everyone.😂
To spend over 2 thousand dollars to go see a game in the cold and possible inclement weather is totally ridiculous. I will sit in my lounge recliner and be safe and warm and watch it on tv 📺!
I went to a Guardians game last round. I was surprised how young the crowd was in general. I didn't see too many older people that have been fans for decades.
I looked the day after the Yankees won, through the Yanklees the prices are still over $1000. The cheapest seats I saw in the "nose-bleeds" were 1200 or so.
I’m a season ticket holder, got 2 tickets to each round minus the ALCS bc I had tix to game 6 which obv didn’t happen so I got credit for next season, and 2 home game 1 tix for the WS (now game 3) for $850 for all 6 tickets. Looking like an absolute steal now my tickets are valued at 3k a pop
I have 20 Game Package, 400s, 2 Seats - I got 1 Game for The Wild Card Round (Not charged - It's either that or the LDS depending on the year - It would have been $70 a ticket), 1 ALCS Game - It was Game 1, $92 a Ticket, and I have Game 5 of the World Series if it happens - $183.50 - A ticket - If its not played, Ill be refunded. Those guys who got charged $400 - Not sure how that worked.
Michael Kay was fine until that last comment. No scalper out there is selling a world series ticket for less than $500 even while the game is going on with these prices. $50 or $80... yeah right.
I too went to a 1981 WS game (game 2, Old/Great Yankee Stadium. Yanks win 4-3.) Two hours before gametime, best Scalper price: $125/per. Minutes before game time, we paid $50/per and were seated just as the National Anthemn ended.
Sadly, championship games are expensive in all sports now. The corporationism of sports have hurt regular fans. Another great example are Ryder Cup tickets at Bethpage Black being like $700 for grounds tickets, $250 for practice rounds. It's because they can get away with it. Especially with companies buying up tickets, and rest are left for the rich.
Corporatism has hurt all people in EVERY industry. Not just luxury industries like sports. And make no mistake about it, watching sports is a big a luxury as you can get. As much as I love sports and watching sports... Ohtani has never cured anyones cancer by hitting a homerun.
You can't compare the Superbowl to World Series. Superbowl you're seeing the winning moment 1 and done and getting a live concert. World Series is multiple games a best out of 7 for one game = $2k.
Paid $2700 to sit in the first row of the Jim Beam suite for game 5. Absurd, but if I’m going to one World Series game in my life, I’m going to make it memorable
A sports agent for the Dominican young guys on Yankees in 2009 got my friend and I in game 6 against Phillies. I didn’t ask any questions. Met him at a gate and he told security “them 2 are with me” and we walked right in. Then we had 2 seats in the Phillies family section. I never had a physical ticket on me or saw one. Unbelievable.
The tickets were insanely priced if you bought them through the yankees or dodgers when the prices were set by the teams. It's sad that most fans can't even think about going to a playoff game because of the price. Ticket prices have gone up exponentially in the past 20 years. To me its even more crazy considering they don't pay the players during the post season
The face value of my Game 7 ticket to the 1994 Stanley Cup Final for the Rangers was $46. Had they made it last year, face value of my seats was $775 per ticket.
They say the old stadium had less foul ground so the fans felt closer. They don’t mention ticket pricing and how any real fan got priced out 15 years ago
I’ve been a yankee fan for 39 years. I won’t even go to the new stadium because it’s just too expensive, coupled with the fact that knocking down the old stadium was blasphemous
So detached from reality. He thinks regular season tickets in the grandstand cost $200, and somehow also thinks you’ll be able to get a World Series ticket for under $100.
90 percent of people are go to the Super Bowl, is corporate people, while World Series tickets are a lot less, but everyone freaks out about World Series tickets but no one freaks out about Super Bowl tickets.
I get supply demand, but these major sports forcing out the main customer base for championships…….all of them…..just add another straw on the camels back……eventually it will break
I like that - baseball is suppose to be the common man game. It suppose to be affordable. I'm sad that I can't even afford to ever go to see a WS. 400 sections range from 30 to 100+ depending on the game.
Stopped going to games a long time ago due to the constant parade of vendors and others waking in front and blocking the view. Big tv at home in HD is quite pleasing even though too much centerfield camera and not enough of the mid-level behind home camera that puts us in the batter's box, a fastball looks fast, we see the fielders, it's baseball not a video game.
Spoiler alert 🚨🚨🚨 the Yankees ticket prices aren’t much lower. And if you really want cheap tickets, you have to be a season ticket holder. With that, you could get them for maybe $300, that’s what I saw.
The comparison is so stupid and it’s amazing how Michael refuses to acknowledge how the superbowl is ONE GAME. World series is a minimum of 4 games. It makes sense for the price of a Superbowl ticket to be that high.
People don't have more money, these days, Don. They buy everything on credit, that's why they're willing to pay ridiculous prices for tickets. They use credit and then hope to die before the bill comes due.
All involved are in for a rude awakening. There will be plenty of seats available for game 3 at yankee stadium at 8:05. Just like when the new stadium opened in 09 and tried to charge 2,400 for regular season front row seats. Morons.
MLB got what they wanted Dodgers/Yankees World Series. I'll say that they'll have the most viewers in Series history. But the gouging they're doing is disgusting and the people that are going won't even be paying attention to the game.
That’s not true brother this isn’t the Super Bowl if there is one sport where the real fans go to the championship games it’s baseball, it’s in their own stadiums trust me you’re wrong on this one you can’t tell me the ALCS and NLCS prices weren’t insanely priced, the stadiums were still packed out with true fans at every game even in Cleveland!
@@NIGHTMARE8877 it also depends where your getting tickets too $200 isn’t bad but I bet if they were playing Boston instead of Cleveland they would have been much more expensive, honestly $1000 per ticket for a Yankees dodgers World Series isn’t as horrible as one might think, I’d be more inclined to buy a WS ticket before dropping 2k for the Super Bowl but that’s just me I’m a way bigger baseball and Yankees fan.
If you didnt get the tix as soon as the dodgers won against the mets, then yeah, you're not getting "inexpensive" tix. Kay is right, the secondary market is what it is. This is akin to buying sneakers on Stockx/Flightclub vs buying them directly from Nike/Adidas
Duhhh that's what everyone does if you wait closer to the game time whatever seat left the prices go down because they are tryna desperately sell that ticket
1996... i was at game 6.the clincher... $25 each bleacher seats 96 world series. i stood in line for 26 hours.... one of the best experiences at the old stadium 🏟

The best fans are the ones who can’t afford it
The sad part is the people that will be there are going to be looking at their phones 80% of the game.
Fucking facts bro!!
I mean I have friends who will never sniff a playoff ticket and it’s pretty much their own fault

I was at game 2 in 2009. I’m going to game 3 on Monday. It’s not ridiculous to the REAL FANS.
I always have the best seat in the house. On my couch in front of the TV.
Word! You heard!
Plus if my team loses, I won't regret spending the money to sit at home 😅
It’s going to be quiet in both stadiums. Whoever can afford those tickets doesn’t seem like the type to get loud.
💯💯💯

@@user73958 yankees vs dodgers ws ticket prices are drastically different from yanks guardians alcs
From experience the closer the seats, the more boring the crowd is. I have more fun in the bleachers than field level.
Michael Kay never had access to Jennifer Aniston. Not 12 years ago, not today, not ever.
Are you going to let me talk 😂 Michael was mad
I went to the 2002 world series, game 6, angels vs giants. Field level, just a few rows above 3rd base. $125
And you point is?
He can just walk into the building who is he kidding
EVERYONE wants to see Yankees and dodgers. But only the rich people can go hahah
Facts! You heard!
Well you can still watch on TV in 4k which is better
The rich and the irresponsible broke ones.
2 SeatGeek tickets
Legends Suite 16 Row 3
$44,855.00
Last World Series ever!😂
If someone has that kind of money to throw away, throw it at me.
I looked the day after the Yankees won, through the Yanklees the prices are still over $1000. The cheapest seats I saw in the "nose-bleeds" were 1200 or so.
It’s crazy how tickets price went up. That’s not counting parking, food, probably couple of drinks.
I checked the tickets for the series before either team made it and they were already over $1,000
So then, these bozos are fine with price gouging. Got it.
The Yankees were charging 900$ for the upper deck, not the secondary market. Insane price.
That’s actually cheap if you look at the ticket market now. Around $2000 with fees for all levels of the upper deck
Before the postseason, they put it at 220-280 for the public on ticketmaster.

I'll take my couch hot wings 12 pack of imported beer a 24oz rib eye steak with shrimp and a baked potato for $100 thx
World Series tickets for $2k+ is expensive because it's a multi-game series; whereas, the SuperBowl is just one game.
You ain't sniffing a superbowl ticket for 14k though
@@Juiceontheloose76 I went to the Super Bowl for $600 when it was in MetLife, off StubHub.
The 1981 World Series paid $30 per ticket game 2-6.
