CHICAGO – Want to see the World Series? It’ll cost you.
Ticket-selling sites on the internet Monday revealed ticket owners are willing to part with theirs for thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars.
Ticket brokers say fans were starting to spend as much as $12,000 as soon as the Indians clinched the American League pennant last week, according to Cleveland.com. The average ticket price for Game 1 Tuesday night in Cleveland is about $1,000 but the most expensive seats at Progressive Field were selling for $25,100.25.
Wrigley Field box seats on ticket-selling sites like StubHub are going for $50,000 and up, and up, and up.
One seller is asking $100,000 for a seat and another wants just under a-million bucks.
Fans with more creativity than money are making some unusual offers. Ticket owners who like to ski might be interested in the offer from a Southern California woman for a week in her mountain cabin for a couple of tickets, which she claims is worth $9,000.
