Tigers Playoff Tickets For ALDS More Expensive Than Last Year's ALCS

September 25, 2014

Not yet counting 2014, the Detroit Tigers have not just been to the playoffs in three straight seasons, but have reached the American League Championship Series. However, for three straight seasons the average price of Tigers tickets on the secondary market has dropped for the ALCS. The average has dropped from $265.26 in 2011 to $219.88 in 2012 to just $147.58 last season. This season, Tigers tickets will far surpass those averages at Comerica Park. Currently the average price across three potential home games in the ALDS is $257.30, more expensive than the ALCS average the past two seasons. If the Tigers make it to the ALCS for the fourth straight season, the average price is currently $408.36.

Tigers ALCS Tickets Are The Cheapest In Three Seasons

When the MLB playoffs began Detroit Tigers tickets for the ALCS were averaging $209.71 on the secondary market, the lowest LCS average ticket price over the last three seasons. Prices have since fallen to $147.58, a drop of 29.63%. Let's take a look at all LCS prices over the last three season.

The highest overall average LCS tickets over that same period belonged to the eventual 2012 World Champion San Francisco Giants, who are followed closely by this year's Red Sox tickets.

Here's a look at all LCS ticket prices since 2011:

Year Team Average Price
2013 Boston Red Sox $621.54
2013 St. Louis Cardinals $335.34
2013 Los Angeles Dodgers $246.99
2013 Detroit Tigers $147.58
2012 San Francisco Giants $687.15
2012 New York Yankees $451.39

2011 St. Louis Cardinals $299.44
2011 Texas Rangers $276.30
2011 Detroit Tigers $265.26

 

Besides having the overall least expensive tickets over the last three years of League Championship Series, it also appears that Tigers fans are getting accustomed to late-October baseball, as prices have dropped each year. In fact, the Tigers haven't even been able to selll out Comerica Park this time around. Overall, Tigers LCS tickets have fallen 44.36% from their $265 price tag in 2011.
