Losses for secondary market ticket sellers could be north of $12.5 million if Derek Jeter's final home game Thursday night is canceled due to inclement weather, Sports Illustrated reported. The New York Yankees are scheduled to play the Baltimore Orioles beginning at 7:05 p.m.
"It would be a disaster for brokers if this game is rained out and never made up," Connor Gregoire of SeatGeek.com said. "Brokers will lose all the profits they would have otherwise made on this, the most expensive regular season ticket in MLB history."
As recently as Wednesday afternoon, tickets were selling for an average price of $642. If the game is canceled, sellers would be required to return all of the money.
Jeter has played his entire 20-year career with the Yankees. He is currently sixth all-time in hits with 3,461.
