"Trying to get tickets man, it's Game 7. We want to really be there for hopefully punching our ticket to the World Series," said Ramiro Reinoso of Bucks County.

A trip to the dance is on the line Tuesday night in Game 7. It's a position that the Phillies have never been in in the history of the franchise.

"Hopefully bring it out with a win and start it off with 1-0 in Game 7s," said Tom Pugnetti of Hatboro.



This game is a first for the Phillies in the postseason. Tuesday's game marks the 21st time there's been a Game 7 in the League Championship Series since 1985. The 6abc data journalism team found that the stats favor Philadelphia. Sixty percent of the time the home teams walks away with a win.

But the ticket prices don't seem to reflect that. They have dropped.

Back on October 13, a cheap seat for this game was around $600. On Tuesday morning, the price dipped below $200 but has been rising since. According to Logitix, 75% of sales have happened Tuesday.

"I was actually surprised with the prices. I literally just bought my tickets this morning. I got mine for $300 a piece," said Eric Cola of Newtown Square.

While there has been a surprise with the prices, everyone has their theories.

"I think there was a lot of confidence that there was going to be a sweep, and now people are getting nervous so ticket prices go down," said Vic Crosier, of South Philadelphia.
