Those tickets sold out quickly, and now, a few of them have surfaced on secondary markets with staggering price tags.<\/p><p>On StubHub, tickets for Game 1 of the two-game series are listed between $2,000 and well over $10,000. No, not &yen;10,000, but $10,000, U.S. dollars. The &ldquo;cheapest&rdquo; seat available as of January 28 is listed at $2,080 in the centerfield bleachers. Meanwhile, the most expensive seat, behind home plate, is listed for a whopping $18,011.<\/p><p>For Game 2, the get-in price is just over $1,600, with the most expensive ticket behind home plate going for over $19,000.<\/p><p>This series isn&rsquo;t just the defending World Series champions on an international tour; it&rsquo;s a homecoming for Ohtani and fellow Japanese MLB stars Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Roki Sasaki, Shota Imanaga, and Seiya Suzuki. With three of those players suiting up for the Dodgers, Japan finally has a true MLB team to rally behind.<\/p><p><strong>ALSO READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/shohei-ohtani-pitching-update-dodgers-halt-rehab-return-timeline-pushed-back\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Shohei Ohtani pitching update: Dodgers halt rehab, return timeline pushed back<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>Last year&rsquo;s Seoul Series peaked at resale prices of $1,500, making the Tokyo Series look even more absurd by comparison.<\/p><p><\/p><p>To make things even more exciting, Yoshinobu Yamamoto is expected to start Game 1 for the Dodgers, while Roki Sasaki is set to take the mound for Game 2, setting up an electric start to the MLB season.<\/p><p><strong>ALSO READ: <a href=\"Roki%20Sasaki%20stuns%20in%20eye-popping%20spring%20training%20debut\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Watch: Roki Sasaki stuns in eye-popping spring training debut<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>As expected, fans had some strong reactions to the outrageous ticket prices, with responses ranging from disbelief to frustration.
