Ticket to Yankees’ wild-card game is pricey
Yankees fans hoping to see Tuesday night’s American League wild-card game will have to pay dearly for the privilege.
The average asking price on the resale market as of Monday afternoon was $334, according to TicketIQ.com, which monitors a number of secondary market sites. The least expensive ticket was $100.
Those figures are far higher than the wild-card game at Yankee Stadium two years ago, in which the Astros beat the Yankees, 3-0.
The average asking price at a similar point before that game was $185, with a low of $56.
The mobile resale app Gametime said it also is seeing far greater demand than for the 2015 game in the Bronx, up 77 percent.
Gametime also said prices for the Twins-Yankees game were much higher than for the National League game between the Rockies and Diamondbacks in Phoenix, with prices for comparable seats two or three times higher in the Bronx than in Arizona.
