Sometimes, it only takes a single win to reignite the faith of fans in their team, and such was the case for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
After enduring back-to-back losses to the Phillies in Philadelphia, ticket prices for Game 3 at Chase Field plummeted to a mere $10.
This unexpected drop triggered an interesting trend among Phillies fans who had no intentions of attending the game but saw an opportunity to scoop up inexpensive tickets, thereby contributing to a growing number of empty seats.
However, following a thrilling walkoff win, the dynamics suddenly shifted, and fan demand has soared right back up.
This surge in enthusiasm has played a pivotal role in a substantial hike in ticket prices, with reports from Bob Nightengale indicating that prices have reached levels not witnessed at Chase Field since 2012.
