Before Thursday’s playoff the game, for an average price of $230, you’d have the right on StubHub to plant your Royal blue backside in section 119, a few rows behind the visitor’s dugout.
Of course, for the same money, you could buy a 39-inch, flat-screen TV on sale at Best Buy and still have cash left for some brewsky and a bag of peanuts.
But for many Royals fans, actually being in Kauffman Stadium at playoff time was worth the extra dough. And as was the case during last year’s playoffs, tickets to games at Kauffman were demanding some of the highest prices of all playoff teams.
