Using MLB ticket get-in prices from the secondary market as a baseline, the report ranks all 179 bobblehead giveaways across the league by the cost to attend the game they’re tied to, tracks year-over-year trends, and highlights which teams are giving the most (and least) away.

  • The most expensive bobblehead of the season is the Yoshinobu “Yoshi” Yamamoto bobblehead at Dodger Stadium on 3/31, with a get-in price of $151.
  • The Los Angeles Dodgers lead all teams with 24 bobblehead giveaways — nearly half of the top 50 most expensive in the league.
  • The total cost to attend every bobblehead giveaway game across MLB is $6,610, up 16% from $5,697 in 2025.
