The New York Yankees are going to the World Series!

And shortly after the Yankees defeated the Cleveland Guardians 5-2 on Saturday night to clinch the best-of-seven ALCS in five games, Yankee fans turned their attention to the Fall Classic and how to get tickets to the big event .

The Yankees will play the Los Angeles Dodgers or the New York Mets in the World Series, which starts Friday, October 25. If the Dodgers advance, they will get home field advantage. If the Mets win, the Yankees get home field advantage.

Regardless, tickets are on sale now at Vividseats.com, although the Yankee home games will change depending on their opponent.

Ticket prices start at over $1,000 and go up to over $8,000. If the Mets and Yankees meet in a Subway Series, expect those prices to rise.

Remember that Vividseats.com is a secondary ticket marketplace, where existing ticket holders sell their tickets, usually at higher prices than face value. And other fees can cost up to 56 percent more than the actual tickets themselves. So before you save your credit card information, take a look at your bottom line.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Juan Soto hit a three-run homer with two outs in the 10th inning and the New York Yankees advanced to their 41st World Series — and first in 15 years — by beating the Cleveland Guardians 5-2 in Game 5 of the AL Championship Series on Saturday night.

Baseball’s biggest brand returns to the main stage this October.

Soto, acquired in a seven-player trade with San Diego in December, put the Bronx Bombers in position with one big swing.

The Yankees will try to win their 28th title against the New York Mets or the Los Angeles Dodgers. Game 6 of the NL Championship Series is Sunday at Dodger Stadium.

In the 10th, Austin Wells walked with one out and Alex Verdugo followed with a grounder to second baseman Andrés Giménez, whose soft toss to the bag was dropped by rookie shortstop Brayan Rocchio due to an error.

Gaddis struck out Gleyber Torres and had Soto in a 1-2 count before the stylish New York outfielder sent a shot over the center wall. Soto danced down the first base line and paused to celebrate with his teammates before spinning around the bases.

“I just said to myself, ‘You’re crazy about that guy. You’re done with that guy. He has nothing,” Soto said.

Giancarlo Stanton hit a two-run homer for the Yankees to lead the Guardians in five games, but it wasn’t easy.

New York won the first two at Yankee Stadium without much fanfare or major drama. In Cleveland, however, it was a different story as all three games at Progressive Field were nail-biters.

The Guardians rallied to win Game 3 on two two-run home runs in their last two at-bats, and the Yankees held on to win Game 4 after blowing a four-run lead.

Cleveland just couldn’t have enough and a surprising season under first-year manager Stephen Vogt ended just short of a World Series. The franchise remains without a title since 1948, baseball’s current longest drought.
