$13.9 Million in a Day? San Diego Padres Set a New High With Massive Ticket Prices During NLDS Game 3 Against LA Dodgers at Petco Park

Unlike the 2022 regular season, the San Diego Padres have been putting offensive shows in the ballparks in the postseason. First, they eliminated the mighty New York Mets in the wild-card round, and they are just a win away from also eliminating the championship favorite LA Dodgers.

When the Padres lost their key player Fernando Tatis Jr. to MLB suspension for the season, it seemed like they would be in a trouble. But here they are. With the addition of Juan Soto, the Padres have been putting offensive shows in the ballparks. Thanks to their consistent performance, the Padres sold the Game 3 tickets at a massive price.

As earlier mentioned, the Padres are running riots in the postseason. After losing Game 1 against their arch-rivals LA Dodgers in the ongoing NLDS, the Padres have bounced back with two consecutive wins in Game 2 and Game 3.

And now, they are on the verge of knocking out the best team in the 2022 regular season. Although the Padres won Game 2 and Game 3, and now they also have the lead in the division series, the Padres fans have paid an enormous price to watch Game 3.
