Jeter retirement announcement pushes ticket prices

New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter announced Wednesday that he plans to retire after the 2014 season, and fans are willing to put down a hunk of change to watch his final game in person.

Assuming he remains healthy, Jeter’s final regular-season game at Yankee Stadium will be September 25th against the Orioles. The Yankees’ season finale will come three days later, at the end of a three-game series with the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.

The cheapest tickets for the game against the Red Sox already have jumped from $91 to more than $200, according to USA Today.
