Fans are shelling out more than a month’s rent to go to the game Wednesday night.
With hours left before the Red Sox take on the Cardinals in what could be the last game of the 2013 World Series, fans in Boston are opening their wallets with one message: The chance to go to the game is priceless.
The cost, however, could be reaching record highs on secondary ticket sellers as the prices of tickets creep up to past $5,700 on TiqIq.com and Boston-based Ace Ticket, and more than a whopping $12,000 on StubHub.com. Prices for cheaper seats start at around $700 on all of the sites, though for much of Wednesday weren’t floating below $1000.
“I’m surprised how inexpensive they are,” said James Holzman, the CEO of Ace Ticket and a lifelong Red Sox fan. “I agree it’s a fair amount of money but it’s $1000 for a lifetime memory and there’s no pricetag that you can put on that.”
