If you want World Series tickets, catching a game between the Yankees and the Phillies is going to cost you. Seats at Yankee Stadium (where Games 1, 2 and if needed, 6 and 7 will be played) were promptly snapped up the minute tickets went on sale. Resale sites are listing tickets with a face value of $431 for as much as $3,850 and nosebleeds seats -- normally running about $51 -- are going for between $432-$963.
If these prices seem ridiculously high to even the most die-hard baseball fan another, smaller round of World Series tickets will be available at the Yankee Stadium box office starting at 9 a.m. on the day of the first game.
