You can buy tickets on the resale market for as low as half the price of a stadium beer!

As Giants tumble, so do ticket prices on resale market

Something strange and unforeseen has happened at the corner of Third and King streets in San Francisco. The Giants, who as recently as 2014 were crowned a dynasty after winning their third World Series championship in five seasons, are neck-and-neck with the Philadelphia Phillies for the unwanted title of “worst team in baseball.”

One of the side effects is not a surprise: Fans who not long ago had to pay steep prices to attend games at AT&T Park can buy tickets on the resale market for as low as half the price of a stadium beer. Great seats suddenly are downright cheap.

Upper-deck tickets to Friday night’s game between the Giants and New York Mets, both terrible in 2017, were available Thursday for $6 on StubHub — the minimum that Major League Baseball allows tickets to be sold on its partner resale site.

The beautiful park alongside China Basin has become a place where supply and demand is meeting wins and losses head on.
