Can't wait!

My first WS game was Dodger Stadium, 1981.

My first was at the age of 12, the Drysdale game in LA in '65.
In case you're interested, (not including airfare and lodging to get to LA), the game tickets are running about $1500 for the absolute worst seats in the house; upper deck in fair territory above the bullpens.
For a seat behind home plate on the field level, get ready to pay about $20K.
In the seating area I sat at in that'65 game, (and I remember it like yesterday, about even with 1st base on the reserve level), those seats are going for about $3k each.

I'd guess the game will have about 100 million dollars changing hands somewhere to someone to get a seat.

If you really want insane, I heard on the radio yesterday that parking....PARKING!!...is $400, thanks I presume to Frank McCourt, who as a condition of ridding him from Dodger ownership, still owns the parking lot around the stadium. If you want to drive to the game, you have to buy a ticket to the parking lot!

And as a result I'm sure Uber, etc will also charge premium prices. ++ if you can get an off-duty copper as a driver.

And tickets for the first Super Bowl in 1967 cost $6, $10, and $12. And they didn't sell out.

I heard a fun fact yesterday, which, if true is both an indication of the times and of inflation.
Price of a ticket to the first NBA finals in 1947: the most expensive seats in the house were courtside for $2.50. Cheapest seats were 25 cents.
I ran an inflation check. $2.50 in 1947 is equal to roughly $35 today.
