The MLB Draft will take place at the Cowtown Collesium in the Fort Worth Stockyards from July 14-16 with the best collegiate and high school players finding out where they will start their MLB journeys. Ticketing prices have not yet been announced.
All-Star Game
The All-Star game takes place on July 16 with the big league’s best players going toe to toe.
The cheapest tickets cost $300 for a total of $1,249.92 for the whole family including food.
To attend every single all-star event it would cost $2,809.68 or $800 more than the average Texas mortgage payment.
And that’s just the least expensive way of seeing everything. If you want to go the luxury route and get better tickets, attend the high-end parties and eat much better food, well, you may need to sell your house first.
