World Series Game 2 between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Tampa Bay Rays saw get-in ticket prices soar to an eye-watering $2,221 at American Family Field on Saturday, October 24, 2026. And get this: that wasn’t even the record for most expensive tickets in World Series history. It’s straight-up wild how much fans are willing to shell out for a shot at seeing a championship game live.
This Would’ve Been a Record, But Someone Beat ‘Em To It
Before this 2026 Milwaukee World Series kicked off, the undisputed champion for priciest MLB tickets was Game 4 of the 2016 World Series at Wrigley Field, which clocked in at a hefty $1,809. So, when Game 2 for the Brewers hit that $2,221 mark, it absolutely crushed that old record by a solid $327. You read that right, three hundred and twenty-seven bucks more than the previous all-time high! If Game 1 hadn’t been played already, Game 2 would have been the new record holder, no question.
Game 1 Still Holds the Crown
But here’s the kicker: Game 2, despite its insane price tag, didn’t actually snag the ultimate record. Why? Because Game 1, also played in Milwaukee, set an even crazier bar, with get-in prices hitting $2,338. Yeah, you heard that right, two thousand, three hundred and thirty-eight dollars just to get in the door. It’s truly astronomical, proving that once you reach the World Series, fans are pulling out all the stops to witness history.
Matthew Vitkus and other fans were out there trying to catch batting practice balls before Game 2, soaking up every moment of the atmosphere at American Family Field. You just know everyone there knew they were watching something special, even if their wallets felt a little lighter.
