The World Series watch parties at American Family Field were meant to be a less expensive way to watch the Milwaukee Brewers in a stadium atmosphere, but resale markets are driving up the cost of those tickets.
The Brewers are hosting watch parties for Games 3 and 4. Tickets went on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 22 for $15 a ticket plus $10 for general parking. A third watch party for Game 5 will be announced at a later date if necessary.
As of Thursday morning, though, some watch party tickets were already selling for $100 or more on resale sites.
