Season tickets for the Yankees are the most expensive in baseball, easily outpacing other big-market teams, including the crosstown Mets.
The Post surveyed every Major League Baseball team’s season-ticket packages and compared prices for two stadium locations: a lower-level seat by the foul pole and an upper-deck seat behind home plate.
A season seat in Section 131, down low at Yankee Stadium’s left-field foul pole, costs $6,480 for 81 home games.
That easily tops the next most costly team, the Chicago Cubs, who play in Wrigley Field and have similar down-the-line ducats for $5,038 in Section 101.
A spot down the right-field line in Section 3 at the Boston Red Sox’s tiny Fenway Park goes for $4,698.
Other big-market teams with cheaper seats by the foul pole than the Bombers include the free-spending Los Angeles Dodgers ($2,378), the tech-money-fueled San Francisco Giants ($2,675) and the Washington Nationals ($2,870).
Spots down the line at Citi Field in Flushing, Queens, home of the National League champion Mets, go for a relative bargain at $2,410 for Section 133 and $3,734 for Section 129.
Even the supposedly cheap seats at Yankee Stadium aren’t a bargain. A sky-high spot behind home plate in Section 420B goes for a season subscription of $2,268.
The only other teams selling nosebleeds for more than two grand were the Giants — where you at least get a bay view in Section 317 for $2,075 — and the Philadelphia Phillies at $2,055.
Other expensive, up-top season seats are sold by the Cubs at $1,877, the St. Louis Cardinals at $1,863 and the Mets, where a season spot in Section 515 goes for $1,828.
Yankee officials made no apologies for their season-ticket costs.
“No, I don’t think those prices are too high,” team President Randy Levine told The Post on Sunday. “The primary market for those seats are very, very strong and continue to be very, very strong.”
The Bombers drew criticism last week when they announced they were blocking print-at-home tickets in a move they admitted was aimed at maintaining high season-ticket prices on the resale market.
Many fans were upset because, in the past, they were able to get around the high costs by buying tickets at the last second, when prices fell, and then printing them out.
