As a big baseball fan, I can tell you that there are plenty of tickets for $3k at the World Series -- and many for much more than that!
I've become an "expert" at using Stubhub, and purchasing tickets at the exact right time to get the best deal. None of this involves any technical skill -- just experience/knowledge of how the whole system works, and how the pricing tends to rise or fall. However, even with my expertise, I paid $800 for my (excellent) seat in 2017, and $600 each for two seats (again, excellent) in 2018. Didn't go in 2020 because of COVID, and the Dodgers didn't make it in 2019 or 2021.
Anyway my point is that I got realllllllly good deals, and still I paid $800 and then $600 each. The normal schmoes who just opened up Stubhub and fired were paying the same money for shit seats way out in upper right field. The seats I sat in went for $2000-$2500 each at their peak. These were my favorite seats in the park, but not the most expensive ones, by any means. There were tons for more than $3k, even if you were to buy them at the ideal time.
However, when I saw where Chrissy sat, I knew he didn't pay $3k. He was "front row" (like he's obsessed with), but waaaaaaaay out in the outfield. The view of the game sucks from back there. You can't see what's going on unless the ball is hit to your side of the outfield. Furthermore, this was in Houston, where tickets were likely to for less than in a place like LA, SF, NY, or Chicago. So yeah, Chrissy definitely lied there.
