(Thechieftainspear) – Dodgers fans hoping to catch a game this season will have to dig deeper into their wallets, as ticket prices for the reigning World Series champions are the highest in Major League Baseball.
According to a recent Vivid Seats report, the Los Angeles Dodgers top the list in their 2025 MLB Fan Loyalty Report, with fans willing to spend more than any other team’s supporters to watch games live, whether at home or on the road.
Soaring Ticket Prices
The average ticket price for a Dodgers game—home or away—sits at $181, making it the most expensive ticket in baseball. That’s over $40 more than the second-priciest team, the Boston Red Sox.
Compared to last season, Dodgers ticket prices have jumped by 25%, making it one of the steepest year-over-year increases in the league. Only the Detroit Tigers saw a bigger surge, with a 29% hike in ticket costs.
Dodgers games are also among the most costly single-game tickets this year. Some of the most expensive matchups include:
- MLB All-Star Game at Dodger Stadium – $837
- Dodgers Home Opener vs. Tigers – $604
- Dodgers vs. Yankees (June matchups) – $436 and $414
Even the legendary Yankees-Red Sox rivalry doesn’t command as much—tickets for their June 13 showdown are projected to cost around $300.

How to See the Dodgers Without Overspending
If you’re hoping to catch Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and the rest of the Dodgers’ superstars without breaking the bank, there are a few strategies that can help:
-
Buy Last-Minute Tickets – Prices on resale sites often drop as game time approaches, especially if sellers are trying to offload extra tickets. Checking an hour before first pitch can sometimes lead to the best deals.
-
Network with Season Ticket Holders – If you regularly attend games, build relationships with season ticket holders. Many prefer to sell their extra tickets directly rather than pay resale platform fees.
-
Consider Watching in Anaheim – While tickets to see the Los Angeles Angels may not offer the same electric atmosphere, they are significantly cheaper, averaging $80. Even when the Dodgers visit Anaheim in August, ticket prices (around $134 per game) tend to be lower than marquee matchups at Dodger Stadium.
Dodgers Fans Travel Well
Regardless of where they play, the Dodgers draw large crowds. Data from Vivid Seats shows that last season, Dodgers fans made up 40% of attendees at road games—the highest percentage in baseball.
Just don’t expect an easy ticket if they face the San Diego Padres in the postseason again. Last year, the Padres limited ticket sales to San Diego County residents to prevent Dodger fans from taking over their ballpark.
If you’re a die-hard Dodgers fan, one thing is clear—seeing them live will cost you. But with the right approach, you might still find a way to enjoy a game without spending a fortune .
