Brewers World Series food and ticket prices climb steeply since 1982
Summary

As the Milwaukee Brewers return to the World Series in 2026, food and ticket prices have significantly increased from their last appearance in 1982. A hot dog at American Family Field now costs $4, nearly four times the 1982 price of $1.10, while a 16-ounce beer has surged to $13.24 from $1.60. Parking has also jumped to $44, a large increase from the $3 charged in 1982. Current ticket prices for the 2026 World Series start at $2,700, an extreme rise from the $8-$18 range seen in 1982. The price growth for concessions has outpaced inflation, raising questions about the cost of attending such events.
