Yankees vs. Dodgers Average Ticket Price Breaks Record as Most Expensive World Series

It turns out a World Series matchup between the two most popular teams in Major League Baseball featuring the two biggest stars in the sport going to head to head is causing tremendous demand for tickets.

Online ticket seller TickPick (h/t CNN's Jordan Valinsky) has said the average ticket price for a game between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers is a record $1,703 on the secondary market.

The previous record was $1,693 in 2016 when the Chicago Cubs ended their 108-year championship drought in a thrilling seven-game series against Cleveland.

Stubhub (h/t Yahoo Sports' Jeff Eisenberg) has announced the matchup between the Yankees and Dodgers is already the best-selling World Series in the company's 24-year history.
