Shohei Ohtani effect! Fans rushed for tickets The most expensive ticket at home reached $3,000

MLB Major League Baseball Los Angeles Dodgers ended the major league overseas opener Tokyo series with 2 consecutive wins, and the star Shohei Ohtani played well in front of the fans in his hometown, driving a wave of "Shohei Ohtani effect", so that the Dodgers, who won the World Series championship last year, have been highly supported by fans this year, and the demand for home tickets has exceeded demand, and the price has also risen sharply.

According to a report by local Los Angeles TV station ABC7, Barry Rudin, president of Barry's Ticket, the Dodgers' home ticket sales company, revealed, "Last year, fans could buy a ticket for as little as $100 to $150, but this year the price has soared to $200." The most expensive seating section was even sold for $3,000 a ticket last week."

Last year, the Dodgers' home regular-season spectators totaled 3941251, up 2.7 percent from the year before, and while they had a good record, they failed to break the 4 million mark. Barry Rudin said, "I think the Dodgers are going to break the 4 million crowd threshold, which no other team has ever achieved, and there is more demand for tickets now than at any time I've ever seen."

Dodgers Arena has seen a number of upgrades this year, including a refurbished locker room and a new facial recognition feature that allows fans to get in more quickly, "Every year they're improving the facilities and they're improving the team's performance, so I have to give them some credit." Barry Rudin said.

The opening event in Tokyo recorded a rating of 31.7%, a record 25 million viewers, and $40 million in merchandise sales, and the official store of Tokyo's major leagues, which attracted more than 200,000 customers in a week, and 140 cash registers to cope with the influx of people.
