Thanks to information from the folks at
TiqIQ, we find that this year's
average ticket price for the ALCS is
way below what Red Sox fans had to pay last year. As the chart from TiqIQ shows, the average ticket price at Fenway Park for the 2013 ALCS was a whopping $679—compared with this year's average tickets at
Camden Yards ($494) and
Kauffman Stadium ($426). While both of this year's entries are in the top four over the last five years, they pale in comparison to the
outrageous costs to see an ALCS game at
America's Most Cramped Ballpark. Amazingly, last year's average ALCS ticket at
Comerica Park was only $188—
$491 less than at Fenway! Even the 2012 Yankees only charged an average of $451 for an ALCS ticket at the billion-dollar
Concrete Bunker On 161st Street. You have to wonder why tickets at Fenway are so ridiculously high—it can't
just be the extra demand chasing fewer seats.
