MLB ticket prices ranked by team: L.A’s clubs on opposite ends
While the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs have already technically started their 2025 seasons, nearly all of the MLB will celebrate Opening Day on Thursday. Regardless of when they started, every team will play 162 games this season.
Not every team, however, will charge you the same amount to catch a game in person.
Data collected by resale ticket app Gametime shows one California team has the highest median ticket price — and no, it isn’t the reigning World Series champions, the Dodgers.
Instead, you’ll find the priciest tickets some 380 miles to the north at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento. There, it’s the Athletics that have the highest median ticket price for a home game, according to Gametime, at $181.
Because it’s the median price, that also means there are tickets for much less — and much more. As of Tuesday, the A’s ticketing site shows the cheapest available ticket, $70, will get you a spot on the lawn for Monday’s home opener against the Cubs. The most expensive seat, found in the Solon Club, will set you back $270.
For comparison, the median resale ticket price for an A’s game through the first roughly three months of the 2024 season was $35. But, moving to a new area and playing in a minor league stadium with fewer seats appears to have contributed to the rise in prices.
Have no fear, though, Dodgers fans. Gametime’s data shows the median ticket to attend a game at Dodger Stadium is the second-highest at $177. That’s slightly below the $181 ticket exchange marketplace Vivid Seats recently listed as the average price for Dodgers tickets, home or away.
The New York Yankees, fresh off their World Series defeat, have a median ticket price of $105 on Gametime. Their crosstown rival, the New York Mets, fell far below at $79 despite signing the former Yankees star Juan Soto in the offseason.
You can see the full report below:
| Team | Median ticket price |
|---|---|

Another team that found itself in a similar predicament as the A’s, the Tampa Bay Rays, had the third-highest median resale ticket price in Gametime’s report. Tropicana Field, the home of the Rays, was damaged by Hurricane Milton last fall, forcing the team to use nearby Steinbrenner Field, the spring training home of the New York Yankees. (This quick relocation is also why the Rays aren’t playing on Opening Day; their opening game against the Colorado Rockies will take place on Friday instead.)
A nearby Florida team, however, has the cheapest median tickets across the entire league. At $44, no team offers a better deal than the Miami Marlins, Gametime found. Miami is the only team to have a median price below $50. The Los Angeles Angels ($54) and the Detroit Tigers ($55), were close behind.
Off the field, baseball has already proven to be an expensive realm, at least when it comes to collectibles.
A 1-of-1 rookie card for Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes, found by a Los Angeles area boy, recently sold at auction for $1.11 million. The ball that recorded the final out and secured the Dodgers’ World Series victory last year is currently up for auction, with a top bid of $180,000 as of Tuesday. Some accidentally vulgar hats have been selling for hundreds online after being pulled from team stores.
Hopefully, your peanuts and Cracker Jack won’t pinch your wallet that much.
