Ticket Club shared the highs and lows on the Major League Baseball ticketing climate as its 2024 season gets underway with TicketNews this week. The report showed that fans of the Philadelphia Phillies, Cincinnati Reds, and Texas Rangers are seeing the highest “get-in” ticket prices for their home openers, while fans of the Miami Marlins and Oakland Athletics can secure tickets for less than the price of most stadium meals.

“No matter what team you root for, Opening Day is always a chance to be excited about the season to come, because everybody’s tied for first place,” TicketNetwork Director of Communications Sean Burns told TicketNews. “That said, it’s pretty striking to see the wide range of prices being paid for tickets – from an average as high as $425 paid to see the Dodgers host the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday to a “get-in” price as low as just $12 to see the Miami Marlins open the same day against Pittsburgh.”
Ticket Club is a membership-based ticket resale marketplace connected to the TicketNetwork exchange. It offers its members access to tickets to events across the country without added service or delivery fees, which typically means as much as 20-30% in savings compared to the same tickets purchased through “traditional” ticket resale marketplaces.
From Ticket Club’s blog:
The rarified air of the highest prices being paid – where baseball fans can save the most at Ticket Club with our membership model that eliminates service fees – are for the six clubs seeing average prices between $2-300, including the defending World Series champion Texas Rangers ($284 average), and perennial big-spenders like the Houston Astros ($208), San Francisco Giants ($270) and New York Yankees ($271). At the top are the Dodgers, who made an enormous splash with the signing of superstar Shohei Ohtani after a second-round exit in last year’s playoffs.
