World Series News: What is the Cheapest Ticket for Game 2?
The cheapest ticket for Game 2 of the World Series at Dodger Stadium on Saturday is, unsurprisingly, not cheap.
Somewhat surprisingly, it’s not available via the second-hand market on SeatGeek, but rather via the Dodgers’ website — and it’s possible to get in for less than $1,000.

As the clock struck midnight on the West Coast Saturday, the cheapest available ticket was in the farthest corner of left field. The 20 available seats in section 61RS — from the back corner in Row JJ, Seat 12, to the front row (AA) — retailed for $852.25 each including fees.
It’s possible to get as few as two seats together at that price, or as many as eight.

On SeatGeek, the cheapest ticket available was a few sections over, section 53RS in the upper reaches of left field. A single seat by itself in Row FF cost $973 including fees.

The most expensive seats? Three rows directly behind home plate, a cluster of four seats were available for $19,500 each — $94,402.00 total including fees, about the cost of a 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLS Class sport utility vehicle.
Dodger fans who attended Game 1 of the World Series on Friday got their money’s worth — or as close to it as a baseball game would allow, at least. The Dodgers beat the Yankees 6-3 on Freddie Freeman’s grand slam in the 10th inning. It was the first walkoff grand slam in the history of the World Series, which was first staged in 1901.
The Yankees were leading 3-2 when a walk by Gavin Lux, and a single by Tommy Edman, put runners on first and second with one out in the 10th inning. Edman was the last of three batters faced by right-hander Jake Cousins, who gave way to Cortes with left-handed hitting slugger Shohei Ohtani due up.
Ohtani saw one pitch from Cortes and skied it to left field, where Alex Verdugo made an incredible catch leaning over the short fence in foul territory. That set the stage for Freeman to end the game with one swing on the only pitch he saw from Cortes.
Freeman finished 2 for 5 with a triple and a home run. Held out of the Dodgers’ lineup for Games 4 and 6 of the National League Championship Series because of a sprained right ankle, he played the hero just as a hobbled Kirk Gibson did 36 years earlier.
“It felt like nothing, just kind of floating,” Freeman said of the feeling rounding the bases. “That’s as good as it gets right there.”
