Sports Tickets Weekly — Episode 3: Draft boards, Cup economics, and the Petco price test

This week the live-ticket board is honest before it is broad: MLB is carrying the actual games, and the best verified data we have is from Vivid Seats. SeatGeek surfaced candidate prices in search, but its event pages did not give us a readable listing page, so we are not treating those as confirmed market data.

Episode guide

This week, the show moves from NBA parade week into NBA Draft fallout, checks how Carolina's Stanley Cup run translated into real live-event impact, uses MLB as the only fully active game board, and closes with a disciplined ticket call: Yankees at Red Sox is the worth-it budget pick if you can stay near the verified Vivid Seats floor.
Ticket-market note: this episode treats Vivid Seats as the confirmed pricing snapshot. SeatGeek surfaced candidate prices in search results, but the event pages did not return readable listing detail, so those figures are not counted as verified market data.

Show notes

  • NBA: Washington selected AJ Dybantsa No. 1 overall in the 2026 NBA Draft; Utah took Darryn Peterson and Memphis took Cameron Boozer next.
  • NHL: Carolina reported $13.4 million in total economic impact from Stanley Cup Final home games and watch parties, plus more than 112,000 attendees.
  • MLB: Dodgers-Padres and Yankees-Red Sox are the live-ticket focus, with the Padres coming off a sweep of Atlanta and the Dodgers sitting No. 1 in MLB.com's power rankings.
  • NFL: Minicamp notes point to early fantasy watch spots, especially the Cowboys RB2 competition.
  • Ticket board: Yankees at Red Sox starts at $88 on Vivid Seats with a $173 average; Dodgers at Padres starts at $101 with a $245 average.
  • Fantasy line: Jac Caglianone and Kyle Schwarber were tied for the most MLB home runs from June 20 through June 25, with four each.
