Mariners playoff tickets sell out in minutes, secondary prices soar
Playoff tickets for the Seattle Mariners sold out in minutes, leaving many fans with sticker shock over the high prices and limited availability
SEATTLE - Many Mariners fans hoping to snag playoff tickets were met with disappointment on Thursday, as seats disappeared from the team’s official site within minutes of going on sale.
During the team’s last postseason run, tickets sold out in just 12 minutes. This year’s frenzy appears to have moved even faster, though the Mariners have not confirmed an exact time.
Many fans were left in virtual queues only to find no tickets remaining. Those who did get options found seats in the nosebleeds pushing $200.

The surge in demand wasn’t limited to tickets. Division Championship merchandise released after Wednesday night’s clinching game sold out almost immediately at team stores. Fans lined up before the final out to get their hands on gear, with shelves emptying quickly. A small restock was expected Thursday, with a larger shipment anticipated Friday.
For fans still looking to attend games, regular season seats remain available at relatively low prices, including $30 tickets for the Mariners’ final home game against the Rockies. But the upcoming Dodgers series is already sold out, leaving resale sites as the only option for many.
