That's the (more expensive) ticket!

We’ve had our dance (actually it was a parade), now it’s time to pay the band.

We’re about to learn the downside of winning a World Series title.

Yep, tickets at Citizens Bank Park for next season are going up.

You’re shocked, I know.

The hikes will affect both season-ticket packages as well as individual tickets, although they are not across the board. The hikes range from $2 to $10 per seat.

The cheapest seats to see the new world champions will remain $16. Same goes for standing-room ducats, which will continue to set you back just $13.

The most expensive, in sections 115 to 132 in the lower bowl along the first and third base lines and behind home plate, go up 10 bucks, from $50 to $60.

Most other sections are going up $2. But $32 and $22 seats will remain unchanged.

The Phils set an attendance record last year en route to their historic World Series win. But Citizens Bank Park has become more than just a place to watch a ball game. It’s become a hot spot, sort of “the place to be” in the summer.

Having a winning team helps, but a lot of people are simply there for the party. It will just cost a little more next year.
