It’s likely the National League West will run through the San Francisco Giants or Los Angeles Dodgers this season. While the San Diego Padres are trying to join the fray, it will be tough to top the division rivalry between the Dodgers and Giants. Los Angeles won the National League West division last year, but as the Wild Card San Francisco won the World Series against the Kansas City Royals. San Francisco has won three World Series in the last five seasons, so expectations are once again high for this proud franchise. Los Angeles, however, is ready to battle its way through the regular season and hopefully extend its playoff run. Therefore, these two teams boast high ticket prices on the secondary ticket market.
There will be 19 games played between San Francisco and Los Angeles during the 2015 season. With nine games scheduled at Dodger Stadium, the average ticket price for Giants vs. Dodgers tickets is $102.33 which is 35% higher than the Dodgers overall average home ticket price of $75.76. With 10 games scheduled at AT&T Stadium, the average Giants vs. Dodgers ticket price will be $324.97 which is 209% above the Giants overall average home ticket price of $105.14. Games between the Giants and Dodgers will be 217% more expensive in San Francisco this season.

The highest-priced game between these two teams will occur at AT&T Park on October 1st. That game currently owns an average ticket price of $369.07 while the get-in price is $27. The highest-priced game to be held at Dodger Stadium comes on September 2nd. That game currently owns an average ticket price of $192.36 while the get-in price is $40.
The rivalry between the Giants and Dodgers dates back to when both teams were located in New York. Both fan bases are extremely loyal and this rivalry is very intense. Los Angeles won 94 games last season, but ran into a hot St. Louis Cardinals club at the wrong time. San Francisco has proven time and time again that it can make a deep run in the playoffs. Both fan bases are hoping that their teams can turn in winning campaigns during the 2015 season as both teams will be looking to take the top spot in the National League West.
