Switch between CA and NY editions here.
Baseball is booming and so are the ticket prices. In 2026, ticket prices depend on where you sit and which team you\u2019re watching.
Here in California, the divide isn\u2019t subtle. It\u2019s as large as the Grand Canyon.
The Los Angeles Dodgers don\u2019t just lead Major League Baseball in ticket prices<\/a> this year, they honestly belong in another economic category altogether.
The average minimum ticket price at Dodger Stadium<\/a> sits at $76.57, nearly double the MLB average of $34.82.
It\u2019s also miles ahead of their California neighbors, including the nearby Angels who have the lowest ticket prices in the league.
The Dodgers ticket prices are not based on bobbleheads, premium nights<\/a>, or opponents. The back-to-back World Series champions<\/a> have created sustained demand.
A nightly tax to watch the likes of Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and now Kyle Tucker and Edwin Diaz. This isn\u2019t just an ordinary baseball roster, it\u2019s a traveling All-Star team, and the cost of admission reflects it.
And when the Dodgers travel, the exorbitant ticket prices come with them. Opposing ballparks swell with anticipation\u2013and price hikes.
On average across the league, when the Dodgers come to town, the cheapest ticket in the ballpark jumps to $62.51. The only other team in that stratosphere is the rival Yankees.
If you travel a few hundred miles south, then the story changes\u2013but not entirely.
The San Diego Padres<\/a>, averaging $40.04 per game, sit comfortably in the league\u2019s upper middle class, buoyed by a roster that still carries star power and October ambition.
Up north, the San Francisco Giants <\/a>command $47.85, a blend of history, ballpark beauty, and brand equity that keeps Oracle Park buzzing, especially when the Yankees or Dodgers roll through town and send prices soaring into triple digits.
And then there are the Angels.
At $16.02 per game\u2014the lowest in all of baseball\u2014the Los Angeles Angels<\/a> aren\u2019t just affordable in today\u2019s market, they are a reflection of their 11 straight years of futility.
Owner Arte Moreno recently suggested fans care more about affordability than winning<\/a>, a quote that lands with the soft thud of another last-place finish.
Because in Anaheim, the barrier to entry is low, but so, too, are expectations. When the Dodgers visit, even that changes\u2014the average ticket spikes dramatically, a reminder that demand isn\u2019t dead, it\u2019s just waiting for something worth chasing.

That\u2019s the tension running through baseball\u2019s 2026 season. Most of the data above comes from a new report by Doc\u2019s Sports<\/a>, who analyzed 2,426 games across the league.
The median ticket price sits at $29.00. A number that suggests accessibility. But the average creeps higher, dragged upward by a select few franchises that have turned their brand into currency.
The Dodgers are the clearest example of that transformation. They\u2019ve monetized excellence, leveraged stardom, and built a product fans are willing to pay a premium to experience. The Angels, by contrast, have discounted hope.
Somewhere between Chavez Ravine and The Big A, between $76.57 and $16.02, lies the true state of baseball\u2019s economy\u2014where winning doesn\u2019t just lift banners. It raises prices significantly.<\/p>\n
