The primary sale tickets were $900+ for standing room at Yankee Stadium. It’s a seller’s market, and the teams knew it when selling the tickets. The markup on the secondary market is, on a percentage basis, smaller than in past years since the primary sale prices were so high.

With the Yanx down two games to none, it's perhaps not surprising that secondary market ticket prices for the
upcoming games in da Bronx are plummeting acording to a NY Post article

Those NY Post “articles” — and that is a generous term — about ticket prices (they regularly run them about Taylor Swift shows and other high demand events) are thinly-disguised clickbait/advertisements with sponsored links to secondary market sellers. It’s not exactly surprising for the NY Post but it’s still unworthy of our attention.

That said, it should come as no surprise whatsoever that ticket prices dropped close to the event and with one team ahead 2-0. You could have also easily purchased primary market tickets — direct from the Yankees — for today’s game if you wanted. They were still $900+ of course. The market will move but only so much.

Buying standing room tickets for $1,000 is like smoking crack, really dumb.
But smoking crack is against the law.

Actually it's not thinly disguised at all as they mention their connection to the ticket service cited several times.
But assuming they're not making up the numbers, those who bought on the secondary market prior to the games in LA might be regretting their decision.
