The Arizona Diamondbacks are down 2-0 in the NLCS to the Philadelphia Phillies, though they will be hosting Game 3 at Chase Field in Phoenix, Ariz. on Thursday. But the excitement surrounding the game has more than dissipated for the local fans.
The Diamondbacks lost 5-3 in Game 1 of the series and were destroyed 10-0 in Game 2. There isn’t too much interest in fans attending Game 3, so ticket prices have plummeted.
The price to get into the game was said to be under $20 on some websites.

Phillies will be facing Diamondbacks rookie righty Brandon Pfaadt in Game 3. He had an ERA of 5.72 this year.
Oh and there are a wild amount of tickets on StubHub for under $10 in Arizona.

The result was predictions that Phillies fans would take over at those prices.
Have come across several Phillies fans who are planning to attend NLCS Game 3 while traveling from Philadelphia back to Phoenix today.
Will be interesting to see how many show.
Have heard of tickets on third-party apps for as little as $9.

There are so many tickets under $25 for game 3. Hoping to see Chase Field full of Phillies fans

Perhaps the early start time isn’t helping things, but maybe Diamondbacks fans are waiting to see a win before regaining some confidence.
Ticket prices really shouldn’t be that low or a league championship series.
