Dodgers Opening Day ticket prices break all records

The Dodgers unleash madness. Ticket prices for last year's Major League Baseball champions' opener have reached record highs, with an average cost of $392 per seat on resaleThus, with an increase of up to 55% compared to last year, the cheapest ticket is $196, which is by far the most expensive home opener of the season (compared to $119 for when the San Francisco Giants host the New York Yankees).

The 'Ohtani effect' and the massive investment that has been made in the roster led by the Japanese star have influenced this Dodgers home game to become the most expensive opener in MLB history,according to data from 'The New York Post'.

The franchise has the highest payroll in Major League Baseball with a tax bill of $396 million, according to data site Spotrac

It should be remembered that the Dodgers were crowned MLB champions for the second consecutive year after an epic finish. This gave them their ninth MLB championship and made them the first team to repeat as World Series champions since the New York Yankees from 1998 to 2000.
