Code:
      Regular      Post
       Season    Season  Increase
----------------------------------
LAN    46,492    54,375    +17.0%
CHN    39,507    42,302     +7.1%
NYA    38,851    48,839    +25.7%
BOS    36,021    37,658     +4.5%
WAS    31,173    43,869    +40.7%
HOU    29,675    43,234    +45.7%
ARI    26,350    48,722    +84.9%
CLE    25,286    37,698    +49.1%

In real life, the Major League Executive Council determines the price of post-season tickets. Furthermore, the players get 50% of the gate receipts from each Wild Card game, 60% of the gate receipts from the first three games of the Division Series, and 60% of the gate receipts from the first four games of the League Championship and World Series.(according to the 2021 Major League Rules).
Oh I totally agree. I guess what I was getting at would there would have to be an unfathomable price increase because a typical post season ticket price hike shouldn't lead to a drop in attendance. Something is absolutely not right with the OP's situation.
