Why MLB All-Star week tickets are surging

By the numbers: The average sold price of the T-Mobile Home Run Derby is $1,041 and $1,183 for the All-Star Game.

• The next-highest prices for those two events were $604 and $754, respectively, in 2023, when the midsummer classic took place in Seattle.

Vivid Seats says the surge in demand is driven by Atlanta's return as host after its originally scheduled 2021 game was relocated.

The ticket vendor also found which outfield seats will cost the most for the Home Run Derby compared with a typical Atlanta Braves game.

• Fans hoping to catch a souvenir ball are eyeing tickets in section 147 (straightaway left field), up by over 4,000% at an average sold price of $1,407.
