The opportunity to see the Boston Red Sox win a World Series at home for the first time in a lifetime has turned Game 6 at Fenway Park into the most expensive local ticket in the city's history.

As of Wednesday morning, the average list price on the resale market for a ticket to Wednesday night's game was $2,056, according to TiqIQ, a ticket tracking company. That's an 11.48 percent increase from Tuesday morning's prices.

The average purchase price of a ticket? That's at $1,047, up 19.25 percent from Tuesday.

According to SeatGeek, another ticket market tracking company, ticket prices are now equivalent to last year's Super Bowl, which had an average resale price of $2,199 and a "get-in" price of $1,062.

Bleacher seats to Wednesday's Red Sox-St. Louis Cardinals game, which could have been had for $300 last week, were selling for $1,100 on Tuesday. On Monday night, someone who wanted two of the best seats in the house paid $24,000 on StubHub for a pair in the first row in a dugout box between home plate and one of the on-deck circles.

"There was this type of excitement in 2004 for the Red Sox home games because people thought it would never come again," said Jim Holzman of Ace Ticket, a Boston-based brokerage that has been in business for 33 years.
