Ticket prices surge on secondary market for Jeter’s last game

Yankee fans will have to shell out big bucks if they want to attend Derek Jeter’s final regular season game at Yankee Stadium.

Tickets for the Sept. 25 game against the Baltimore Orioles soared on secondary markets such as StubHub and eBay following Jeter’s announcement.

The cheapest ticket sold Wednesdayon StubHub was initially $35, but prices skyrocketed. At 2:30 p.m., the cheapest StubHub seat was sold for $182.40 in section 410. By 2:39 p.m., a ticket in the bleachers sold for $335.

eBay had tickets listed for as low as $113 each, but by 4 p.m. the cheapest listing was $396.

Yankees.com currently is selling a 12-game plan that includes Jeter’s final game, but “an unusually large number of visitors” stopped fans from accessing the link, said a message on the site.

Individual game tickets have yet to go on sale, but they will be available on Feb. 24 at 10 a.m., according to Ticketmaster.
