Dodgers’ $75 Ohtani Souvenir Cup Draws Fan Backlash

The reaction highlights how far teams are pushing premium perks tied to star players.

Overview

  • Dodger Stadium sold a limited-edition Shohei Ohtani souvenir cup for $74.99 before tax with unlimited refills for that game.
  • The cup is styled like Ohtani’s jersey, featuring button graphics, a belt design, and his name and number.
  • Fans on TikTok and X called the price excessive, with influencer Christian Guevara estimating the total near $82 after tax.
  • Newsweek reports the team later lowered the price to $68.99 and extended refills to last the entire season.
  • Other coverage noted the price sits near the average cheapest Dodgers ticket and reflects broader concerns about high game-day costs.
