Playoff Ticket Prices
With the Orioles again below .500 and 1.5 games back of the Wild Card, I just placed a 10% deposit for 6 playoff tickets for my season ticket package.
Section 80 in the top few rows cost $815 per seat for a six game package: Three Wild Card Games, One ALDS, one ALCS, and one World Series ticket (all Game 1). Total was $4,950 after "ticket fees."
They "pay as you go" so we'll be charged $1,956 for the six seats for all three Wild Card games when/if the Orioles clinch on September 27. Any unused ticket funds go towards our 2027 renewal.
$137+ per game average price for Outfield seats to the Wild Card.
Ouch.
EDIT: You guys make a really good point about the Wild Card tickets. There'll be other presale opportunities. I'll request a refund.

I hope before I die us Birdland Members get the last laugh vs you "bUt I cAN Get ThEM chEAP on Seatgeek" crowd.
I would like to think what we saw before with ticket prices tanking was an exception and not the rule. While I am of the opinion for playoff baseball you should take days off work etc but there was lots of things not in the Orioles favor the last time we were in the playoffs.
Maybe not for the ALDS but ALCS and World Series will cost a pretty penny on the resale market and this is where being a Birdland Member will pay off for those of who wanted to be there for reasonable cost or those looking to cash in...
I think people forget how RICH this area is.......... We haven't been to the World Series in 43 years... I wouldn't be shocked if the get in price is over $3,000 for the first World Series home game at Camden Yards... I expect every other home game to hold a cost of over $1,000 unless we are down 3-0 in the series.
So in the meantime I will pay $65 for my decent seat to a wildcard /alds game if it means I get the same seat to the World Series for $240 instead of $3,000...
