What it costs for every MLB team’s fans to attend a game, and why the average price went up in 2021
The cost to take a family of four to a Major League Baseball game in 2021 increased modestly over last year’s fan-less pandemic season, per a new analysis of ballpark pricing. It now costs an average of $253 for four people to attend an MLB game, which is a 4.5 percent year-over-year increase that’s in line with Consumer Price Index inflation, according to the 2021 Fan Cost Index that published this week. The Oakland Athletics’ 18.6 percent uptick in average ticket price was the costliest increase for fans — but that’s a slightly deceptive number because the A’s didn’t offer season tickets this season and also had a variety of ticketing quirks like a temporary halt on their inexpensive monthly plaza space pass that averages out to about $2 a game, TMR said. “Eliminating their lowest price points — season and group pricing typically cuts 20-30 percent off single game or game day tickets — for seats to all 81 games, one can argue that the A’s 18.6 percent increase is actually holding pricing flat for fans buying single-game tickets,” Hartweg wrote in his report.
