Milwaukee World Series watch-party listings climb above $100 after $15 tickets sell out

Tickets for Brewers watch parties at American Family Field sold out quickly Thursday, then appeared on resale platforms at prices many times the original $15 cost. Fans who missed the sale said the markups put an affordable way to share the World Series out of reach.

Milwaukee World Series watch-party listings climb above $100 after $15 tickets sell out

MILWAUKEE — Brewers fans who missed Thursday’s fast-moving sale for World Series watch parties at American Family Field faced sharply higher prices on resale sites, where listings for the team’s Monday gathering topped $100 and some exceeded $400.

The Brewers set the original ticket price at $15. Tickets went on sale at 10 a.m. Thursday and were gone by 10:30 a.m. Team owner Mark Attanasio said the team sold 31,000 tickets for each of its Monday and Tuesday watch parties, with each event selling out in 20 minutes.

Resale listings varied by platform and seat location. At noon, TickPick listed the least expensive ticket for the Game 3 watch party at $123 in Section 213. StubHub listed two seats in Section 434 for $110 apiece, while seats in the 100 level were priced at $314 or more. Gametime had at least one listing above $800. Those were asking prices, not confirmed final sale prices.

Mike Jaekels, who tried to buy tickets Thursday, said the resale prices frustrated him. He said he had attended five Brewers games this season but did not want to spend World Series-level prices to watch a game at the ballpark.

“Getting priced out of a watch party is just absurd,” Jaekels said.

Paul Schneider had hoped to travel from Marinette and bring his son, but said he could not secure tickets and quickly saw them offered on secondary sites. He called the experience a letdown, particularly for fans in northern Wisconsin who cannot afford to attend a World Series game but hoped to take part in a stadium event.

Schneider said he plans to watch at home and remains excited about the team’s run, encouraging fans to gather with family and friends.

The Brewers had not responded by 4:15 p.m. Thursday to questions about whether the team could have prevented tickets from being resold or would change its approach if it holds a watch party for Game 5.
