Prices For Cubs NLCS Tickets At Wrigley Field Are Through the Roof

Cub Fever has hit Chicago, but fans who plan on seeing the boys in blue try for a long-awaited championship in-person without season tickets will have to pay up.

While online ticket brokers show a slight trend that would have the tickets attainable at a slightly lower cost should the Cubs play the Los Angeles Dodgers rather than the New York Mets, tickets at Wrigley Field are going for more than double the price of upcoming Cubs playoff road games.

According to SeatGeek, while low-ball prices for Games 1 and 2 on the road at Dodger Stadium ($114) or Citi Field in New York (($287) seem quite reasonable for a postseason game, no one is getting into Wrigley Field in Game 3 for less than $511. CNN Money reports the cheapest ticket is around $500 for an upper deck seat, but a first-row box seat in the infield has been listed as high as $11,700.

On ticketsnow.com, the range for a ticket to Game 3 of the NLCS ranges from $520-$10,000.

In the event the Cubs can make it to the World Series, home game tickets for the team start at $3,013 for Game 3, $2,944 for Game 4 and $3,387 for Game 5 - according to SeatGeek numbers. Prices listed now for a potential Game 5 of that series are as high as $23,000 for an infield seat.
