Opening Day is one of the most anticipated events in Major League Baseball, and in 2024, no team drew more attention—or costlier tickets—than the Cincinnati Reds. According to data from TickPick, the cheapest ticket to see the Reds host the San Francisco Giants was a staggering $189, making it the most expensive Opening Day ticket in all of baseball.
This price point places the Reds well ahead of traditional big-market teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers ($138) and the St. Louis Cardinals ($123). Even marquee matchups like the Red Sox at Rangers ($122) and the Brewers at Yankees ($56) were significantly cheaper than the Reds’ home opener.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, the most affordable Opening Day ticket could be found in Toronto, where fans could catch the Orioles at Blue Jays for just $12. Other budget-friendly options included Pirates at Marlins ($17), Athletics at Mariners ($31), and Angels at White Sox ($33).
