Baseball fans need not spend a fortune to see their favorite teams. These five franchises offer the cheapest baseball tickets available. Check them out. Go see a game.

You don’t have to spend a fortune to see a Major League baseball game. Although the Yankees and Red Sox charge fans between $300 and $400 to watch regular season games from their best seats, many teams still offer cheap tickets to their faithful fans. The seats may not be in the best part of the ballpark, but the price will put a smile on the face of any fan who hasn’t hit the Powerball lately. Let’s take a look at Major League Baseball’s cheapest tickets.

The Detroit Tigers Most Affordable Tickets

The Detroit Tigers could make another run at the World Series in 2007. They have a lot of young stars to go along with veteran greats Garry Sheffield and Magglio Ordonez. You can see a game at Comerica Park for as low as $5 a seat. The “Skyline Level" of seats is located in the upper deck near the right and left field foul poles. Tickets are just five clams. There are no restricted games.

Milwaukee Brewers Most Affordable Tickets

Miller Park is still only six years old. It is a beautiful stadium with all of the perks and charm of the new “retro” stadiums that have taken over baseball in the past fifteen years. And if you look carefully, you can see a game there for as low as $5 a seat. “Bernie’s Terrace” is located in the upper deck in left field. Views are unobstructed, but they are distant. The stadium has a Jumbotron, so you can get the feel of the game even if you have to watch it on a forty foot television screen. Cheap Tickets for seats in Bernie’s Terrace are available for all games except: (1) Opening Day; (2) all six games against the Cubs; and (3) the August 14-16, 2007 series against the defending World Champion Cardinals.

The Cincinnati Reds Cheapest Tickets

Ken Griffey, Jr., Adam Dunn, Bronson Arroyo and returning 16-game winner Aaron Harang will all be playing in the Great American Ballpark this year. Like Milwaukee and Detroit, a baseball fan can see a game in Cincinnati for as low as $5 a seat in the “Outer View Level.” If you want to see the Reds play Texas, Arizona, Florida or San Diego, however, you will have to shell out seven dollars a seat, and if you want to watch them play the Cardinals or the Cubs, it will cost a cool twelve bucks. That’s still not too bad.

Washington Nationals Most Affordable Tickets

The Upper View outfield seats in RFK Stadium are admittedly a bit far from home plate. The stadium isn’t so great either. But that didn’t stop the Nationals from drawing 2.7 million fans last season, which was eleventh best in all of baseball. This many people cannot be wrong. There must be something to watch, and you can watch it for as little as $5 in the Upper View seats. However, check with the Box Office, because there are a lot of “Premium Games” that will run the attendee $9 per seat.

Arizona Diamondbacks Cheapest Tickets

The Arizona Diamondbacks enter the 2007 season with a team that includes future Hall of Famer Randy Johnson, fellow World Series MVP Livan Hernandez, and defending Cy Young award winner Brandon Webb. Those are three starters that any fan would pay to see, and if you come to Phoenix, and sit in the Outfield Reserve seats, you will pay a mere five dollars for the privilege. However, seats in the Outfield Reserve section cost a very affordable ten dollars for games against the Mets, Cubs, Cardinals and Red Sox.
