The price of a couples’ day out to a championship series professional baseball game can range between $161.90 and $284.80, according to Runzheimer International, the Wisconsin-based management consulting firm.
The price you’ll spend for tickets, provided you can get your hands on a pair, parking, four hours of babysitting, and two hot dogs washed down with two beers varies greatly depending on who you’re cheering on. Of the four areas surveyed, the most expensive place to catch a game is Anaheim, Calif., and at $267.02, Chicago is a close second. Houston and St. Louis trail in price, not necessarily in record, at $198.96 and $161.90 respectively. So if you have plans to watch the boys of summer close out the season, grab your glove and don’t forget your checkbook!
