Spring Training unbeaten which has regular season Royals baseball tickets up 27% since Spring Training began. The average Kansas Royals ticket is $57, still sixth cheapest in the League. The fact that the Royals have had previous success in Spring Training and yet have still not had a winning season in a decade, could be a factor in cheap Royals tickets.
