Ticket prices going up for Game 6, potential Game 7

November 04, 2009|By KERITH GABRIEL, gabrielk@phillynews.com

There are more than 5,000 tickets available for tonight's Game 6, and most are back on the upswing in terms of price.

In the hours following the Phillies' 8-6 win in Game 5 Monday night, fans were been paying an average price of $905 per ticket on StubHub - a $91 increase from the $814 average that held steady before Game 5.

Prices range anywhere from $175 (bleachers) to $10,001 for a seat in the Legends section, according to the latest trends on StubHub. There are 9,638 tickets remaining for tomorrow's potential Game 7, listed at an average price of $788.

Story continues below.

"Listing prices have naturally increased after [the Phillies' Game 5] win, but the market will soften if inventory remains high," Joellen Ferrer, StubHub's corporate communications director, wrote in an e-mail.

Although expensive, this Series has been a hot ticket item. According to Ferrer, Game 2 was StubHub's highest-grossing game in company history (previously Super Bowl XLIII), and once the final numbers are tallied, Game 5 sales could surpass that.
