Prices on the resale market for Games 4 and 5 of the World Series in Chicago plummeted on Saturday morning after the
Cubs' loss to the
Indians on Friday.
When Game 3 ended, the cheapest seats to Games 4 and 5 were $1,900 and $2,400, respectively. By 12:08 p.m. Central Time on Saturday, seven hours before the first pitch for Game 4, the cheapest ticket to that night's game on StubHub was $1,475, a drop of 22 percent.
Game 5 dropped even more precipitously because the loss assured that if the Cubs were to win the World Series, it wouldn't be done at home. The get-in price on StubHub when Game 3 ended was $2,400. By Saturday afternoon, that ticket was $1,500, a decline of 37.5 percent.
