World Series: Tickets available, how much?

SOUTH PHILADELPHIA - October 29, 2009

2009 WORLD SERIES

It's sticker shock for most.

Ticket brokers say the economy has had an impact on demand, even though prices are averaging about the same as last year.

Diehard fans would love to fill the seats, but at a much lower price.

And maybe that's why there are still thousands of tickets available.

We checked with Stub Hub and early today they had 2,000 tickets for tonight's game in New York.

And they're just one broker among many.

The average price tonight is $737.

PHILLIES FANS CENTRAL

They had 6,000 tickets available for the first game back here in Philadelphia Saturday night.

The average price is $927, down from $979 a day ago.

You can get standing room only for $445 and the cheapest seat is $500.

It pays to know someone, like a couple from Texas whose daughter is an intern with the Phillies. They got their tickets for $150 each.

And of course, season ticket holders are in the driver's seat.

And, if you have the bucks, why not? The most expensive ticket sold so far is a first row seat on the Phillies side of the infield. It went for $4,390.
