Donald Trump's recent appearance on the "Let's Go!" podcast sparked discussions on the rising costs of tickets in major sports leagues, specifically focusing on the Los Angeles Dodgers. Trump criticized the leagues for pricing out loyal fans, highlighting that 86% of sports fans feel ticket prices have become unaffordable. While Dodgers President Stan Kasten noted the team’s efforts to provide free tickets and maintain a youth fan base, many fans struggle to afford an outing to a game, especially a family of four at Dodger Stadium, where costs can soar well over $300.

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred defended the league, citing record ticket sales and the availability of cheaper seats at 70% of games. However, the Dodgers have no tickets listed below $38. Comparatively, the Angels offer lower-cost family packs, suggesting that affordability could be achieved without sacrificing quality or fan engagement. Ultimately, the Dodgers face a dilemma between maximizing revenue and ensuring access for their most devoted fans.
