Ticket prices for all three potential World Series games in St. Petersburg, Fla. have plunged with the hometown Tampa Bay Rays facing a 2-0 series deficit against the Milwaukee Brewers.

The series resumes with Game 3 on Monday night at Tropicana Field, with the get-in price dropping 37% from $851 to $536 over the past three days, according to TicketData.com. The get-in price was as still as high as $839 on Friday before the Brewers rallied for a 5-4 victory in Game 2, prompting a drop for Game 3 to $684 by Saturday.

There was another dip to $600 by Sunday morning, with the get-in price steadily ticking down throughout the day.

It provides a stark contrast to the first two games of the series in Milwaukee. The get-in price for Game 1 at American Family Field set a World Series record at $2,338, according to TicketData.com. Game 2 was not far behind at $2,269. Both shattered the previous get-in price record of $1,809 for Game 4 of the 2016 World Series between Cleveland and the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.

The get-in prices for all three potential games at Tampa Bay are well below half the prices for the first two games in Milwaukee. Game 4 is down 12% over the past three days to $755, while a potential Game 5 is at $700, down 20% over the past 72 hours.
