MLB 2025 tickets: Everything you need to know

The LA Dodgers were crowned World Series champs for the 8th time last year when beating the N Yankees 4-1. It was their second success in the space of five years under the guidance of Dave 'Doc' Roberts. It was sweet redemption for Roberts and the Dodgers, who had lost back-to-back curtain-closers in 2017 and 2018.
The Dodgers are once again in the mix for honours this time around, although no side has defended the crown since the Yankees three-peated in 2000. The Yankees may have missed out on glory in 2024, but they remain way out in front in terms of World Series honours, having gone the distance, a staggering 27 times since (the next best being the St. Louis Cardinals on 11). The first of the Bronx Bombers’ triumphs came in 1921, and they clinched the last of their 27 in 2009.
The Milwaukee Brewers, who top this year’s regular-season win charts, will be hoping to maintain their momentum when they hit the postseason later this month. However, since being established in 1969, the Brew Crew have only played in one World Serie,s and they lost that one to the Cardinals in 1982.
Other sides who have had standout 2025 campaigns up until now include the likes of the Phillies, the Cubs (plus the Dodgers) in the National League, and the Blue Jays, Tigers, Red Sox (along with the Yankees) in the American League.

How to get last-minute MLB game tickets?

Game tickets can be bought via the official MLB site or through individual team sites, and they typically go on sale before the start of the season, often in February or March. However, the nearer you get to gameday, it may prove harder to purchase them via these routes, especially for some of the more high-profile encounters.
Tickets are also readily available on SeatGeek, which is now the official fan-to-fan ticket marketplace of Major League Baseball.
As well as regular season tickets, you may also be interested in securing postseason game seats. These will most likely become available in late September as the end of the regular season draws near or as soon as teams clinch playoff spots.
To make sure you keep up-to-date with all the last-minute tickets on offer for the forthcoming games, it’s also worth checking out some of the more well-known resale sites, Viagogo, StubHub, and Vivid Seats.
How much are MLB game tickets?
MLB ticket prices vary depending on the team, matchup, seating location, and demand. Regular season tickets can start as low as $15-$30 for general admission or upper-level seats, while premium lower-level and dugout seats will cost more. Those prices will escalate further for Playoff and World Series game tickets.
The Dodgers have the highest average cost for home game tickets at $117, while the least expensive team to see at home is the Marlins, with average ticket prices of just $35. During the week, daytime match-ups tend to be more expensive on the whole than night encounters, with fewer people attending the later clashes, as a result of work and family commitments. However, demand for tickets to night games on Fridays and Saturday will be higher.
In general, the best MLB game seats depend on what you’re looking for:
- Behind Home Plate: Premium views of the action, ideal for serious fans.
- Dugout-Level Seats: Close-up views of players and on-field strategy.
- Outfield Bleachers: Great for catching home runs and an energetic fan experience.
- Club-Level & Suite Seats: Club-Level & Suite Seats: Premium amenities, exclusive lounges and extra comfort.
Pricewise, the best time to buy tickets is on the day of the game, so it’s always checking out SeatGeek for the official fan-to-fan ticket marketplace prices from $26 and relevant resale sites such as Viagogo, StubHub and Vivid Seats, which can see resale prices drop to as low as $3 for a ticket.
