I wish brewers tickets would become more affordable. Right now it’s $400 to get in for game 6.

u/jakevv 16h ago

Let's hope we don't need a game 6.

u/Avoocado_Toasty 16h ago

Oh I’d love for them to take the pennant in LA!!

Then I can start complaining about WS pricing instead lolol

u/SoyTuPadreReal 13h ago

WS pricing is already insane. Seen some tickets listed in section 200 for $2,000 a seat.

2

u/Avoocado_Toasty 13h ago

Oh no. Is that straight from brewers/mlb or resale?

2

u/TE7 13h ago

The presale thing I got yesterday had 4th level at like $945 and second level around $2100 and very, very, very limited availability.

u/jakevv 13h ago

Wow, I almost hope it's a Tampa brewers ws so I can fly to Tampa and it will be cheaper than getting tickets at amfam

1

u/Avoocado_Toasty 12h ago

I was actually thinking that too! Fly in for a night. Unfortunately I don’t think my husband will let me go alone and he won’t go.

u/myjobistablesok 7h ago

why wouldnt he let you go alone?

1

u/Avoocado_Toasty 5h ago

Safety reasons. Traveling to another state and going to a game where we are the opponents.

Don’t worry! Contreras will defend you!

u/homestar92 14h ago

I don't even want there to be a game 5.

u/sqwizzles 12h ago

I really hope it gets to a game 6 since ill finally be able to see them on my birthday 🥺

u/wirsteve 15h ago

Game 6 and 7 is different.

At home, possibility of clinching a World Series, and getting to see it in person. Those prices were always going to be high.

u/_WeSellBlankets_ 14h ago

Last year we got tickets in the 200 level for $275 on the resale market for game 6 that never happened in the NLCS.

u/obi_wan_keblowme 13h ago

I mean, we knew the series was over after game 2 though. It’s not totally comparable.

2

u/_WeSellBlankets_ 13h ago edited 12h ago

Looks like we got those tickets before game one was over. They were purchased sometime between 7:16 and 8:18 and the game started at 7:08. Being up two games might change things a bit for this year, but prices were still high before game 1 this year.

u/HGpennypacker 13h ago

Sadly I don't think tickets for a potential game 6 or 7 and the World Series will be anywhere close to affordable for the common fan. This is a starved fanbase and there are plenty of people willing to pay nearly anything to see the Brewers at this point in the playoffs.

u/MeetIntelligent8545 14h ago

Just means you missed the boat. Bought my Game 7 tickets for $125 each during the sale last week. Gotta get them from the Brewers before the secondary markets.

1

u/Avoocado_Toasty 14h ago

Ah boo. I thought they were only available to season ticket holders. I tried to buy season tix but it was like 4 grand. 😖

1

u/parposbio 13h ago

They typically start to drop as you get closer to the day of the game. That said, prices may not drop for a game 6 or 7 because of the possibility to clinch.

1

u/timbenj77 13h ago

Wait till you see the going prices for game 1 of the WS.

u/itsmb12 #BEAT LA 9h ago

Bruh a hypothetical WS is $2000

u/Tap1596432221 15h ago

That’s nothing

u/Avoocado_Toasty 15h ago

It certainly is something.

*compared to World Series

Imagine what tomorrow will be after we go up 3-0 tonight!

u/C0MIC-B00K-GUY 15h ago

Imagine what the day after tomorrow when we get out our brooms and sweep their ass!!!

u/406w30th 12h ago

What's crazy is that these ticket prices are about the same as a Tuesday night game against the Rockies in mid-August.

Source: lifelong Brewers fan living in L.A., who loves to take his kids to baseball games but is almost always priced out by the exorbitant cost of tickets.

u/TheOptimisticHater 16h ago

It’s a big stadium and not easy to get to the 5pm start unless you bail on work.

More than anything it’s a reflection on the dodgers global (not local) fan base.

u/G0PACKGO 16h ago

We packed the house on a 4 pm start granted it seats more than AMFAM but the city of LA is only 2 million less than the whole state of Wisconsin

9

u/ogold45 15h ago

On a holiday, but yeah AMFAM would be packed any day/time regardless.

19

u/G0PACKGO 14h ago

I mean almost no one gets off for that holiday that I won’t name because somehow either name you use you piss people off

2

u/timbenj77 13h ago

I'm not all that shocked. There's definitely a novelty factor for us. $200/seat for basic loge seats to an NLDS game and $300/seat to an NLCS game isn't an insignificant amount of money if you're not rich. I bit the bullet because I know/believe this is the first time we'll make the WS since '82 (when I 5 years old)...and will be our first WS win ever...and I want to be a part of it, experience it, witness it in person. And man, I'm so effing glad I did. But if the script were flipped; if the Brewers had won the WS in the last 2 seasons and were now down 0-2 in NLCS?; I'm putting that $1,000 into improvements on my house or my car or my PC, and watching the game on TV.

u/C0MIC-B00K-GUY 15h ago

That's why you don't work and then you never miss a game. 200 IQ I know lol

u/Bighorn21 14h ago

Second largest metro in the country, if they can't pack that house it just goes to show what caliber of fan the Dodgers actual have.

1

u/StudyObjective4286 14h ago

People who have driven in LA know it’s bat 💩. A 20 minute drive here ends up being an hour or more there.

10

u/hiptones 15h ago

Hell, if they want to make it easier for Brewers fans to travel and go to the game, let's pack that bugger up.

1

u/Plumaster 8h ago

i'd rather not support the Dodgers financially, although if they are resale tickets they are already sold so I guess then it's ok

2

u/hiptones 8h ago

I dunno. It's not like they'll go out of business if they don't sell those seats. The wish to support the Brewers in LA trumps any financial support for the Dodgers.

u/murkler42 9h ago

Pro tip to anyone that is going and driving: Park at Union Station for $8 flat for the whole night and then take the Dodger shuttle for free directly to the stadium.

Or Uber to Union Station to save yourself the hassle on traffic.

Address for parking garage entrance that's $8: 466 E Cesar E Chavez Ave

3

u/Vance_Hammersly 9h ago

I find street parking in echo park and get a beer and burger before walking to the stadium. It's about 20 min uphill, but if youre healthy-ish, cheap, and determined it's not that bad. Plus, the way back is all downhill.

1

u/murkler42 9h ago

also works!

u/tntdaddy 14h ago

Almost down to the price of parking! ($70)

u/TheFlyingElbow 16h ago

Insane that the 3rd richest city in the world can't shell out $98 bucks, and here its $250 standing room

These prices are absolutely fucking insane wtf

u/ZukowskiHardware 13h ago

Cheaper to fly there then see them here

2

u/extendedsolo 13h ago

one tactic if you are wanting to get in to game 6 or 7 is show up at the park and just refresh stubhub/seatgeek as prices fall and you'll get in. Tried and true and people did it for the world cup. You might miss an inning or two but the end where everyone is going nuts is what you are there for.

What goes on in those $1200 outfield seats?

u/IGolfMyBalls 14h ago

Why is this game not nationally televised? Is it a contractual thing with Fox 1?

u/sunoma 11h ago

I need you all to know that parking is $65

u/Many_Voice_287 11h ago

Dodgers are throwing it on purpose!

u/mixer2017 Best Sign Stealing Team Eva! 10h ago

There are many "we are fans because its the cool thing". Not that there are not good Dodgers fans, they are plenty....but people who would scalp such tickets had hope to cash in on the coolness wave.

u/hjbuckley 9h ago

I’m in LA…. got mine for $88 lol

I wanted to go to the Thursday game but couldn’t find a flight to get back to Appleton by Friday afternoon.

u/Biestie1 15h ago

I don't think many fully grasp how big of a dumpster fire the traffic situation getting to and from a 5 pm start is. If I lived there I wouldn't go and I am as excited about the where the Brewers are as anyone. That's speaking as an Altanta resident that is pretty accustomed to bad traffic.

u/Whitesox_are_neat wisconsinite packers sox and crew 14h ago

Guess noone in la does anything ever lmao it sucks but youre exaggerating hard. You absolutely deal with it if youre a fan of the team

If that makes you feel better champ you can belive whatever you want.

Everyone knows la traffic

Everyone knows it sucks getting there

You still go its still great its not that bad

Ive been to several dodgers games in LA had a blast each time and didnt cry about traffic

Dodger Stadium sits in the hills of Elysian Park, surrounded mostly by parkland and its own large parking lots. Ewwwww… better clutch your pearls. Sounds dangerous to me! 😂

Does your racist MAGA brain hear “California,” especially “LA,” and immediately picture gang members killing each other? Because, of course, everything is Newsom’s fault. That’s “Newscum” in your language, in case you didn’t know his actual name. 😂
