It's slim pix for cheap Phils tix

Sixteen-dollar tickets, they are not.

If you're a hard-core Phillies fan looking to go to the game tomorrow or Monday, expect to pay many times more than you would for tickets to regular-season games.

"Demand is much greater for this series than the last series," Joe Evangelista, owner of Quaker City Tickets, south of Tasker Street on Passyunk Avenue in South Philly, said yesterday.

Evangelista, who stocked between 40 and 50 tickets for the games tomorrow and Monday, said he had almost none left.

"If the weather forecast for [tomorrow] was better, I would be totally sold out," Evangelista said.

"Fans are a little concerned about [tomorrow] night, but if you're a die-hard Phillies fan, it's got to be really bad out there to consider not going to the game," he said.

On Craigslist, if you're willing to buy four tickets, you might be able to get them for $83 each.

But that's the exception.

On Stubhub, Diamond Club tickets for tomorrow's game are going for as much as $3,400.

A similar scene is playing out on other ticket-sales Web sites and with other ticket agents. Prices on Phillytoughtickets.com range from about $100 a ticket to just under $1,000.

Wanamaker Ticket Office, at 15th and Market streets in Center City, was selling between 50 and 100 tickets an hour yesterday, according to Jeremi Conaway, the company's vice president.

And prices may rise, depending on how the Phillies perform, Conaway said.

Lower-end tickets could jump to $130 a ticket, and Wanamaker's higher-end tickets could jump from $750 to as high as $1,100 apiece, he said.

"If there's a chance for a clinching game at home, prices will definitely increase," he said.

Of course, all of this pales in comparison to the (knock-on-wood) possibility of a Phillies-Yankees World Series.

"That would be the biggest ticket in Philadelphia sports history," Conaway said.

Standing-room tickets? They would be $700, he said, and higher-end tickets would easily go for $5,000.
