What with talk of Dodgers fans arriving late to games and leaving early, StubHub’s website offers even more ammunition for those in colder climes who allege that Southern Californians are, well, just too Southern Californian when it comes to showing appropriate respect for the national pasttime.

As of a 2:30 p.m., StubHub still had nearly 750 tickets available online for tonight’s Game Five of the National League Championship Series. You can buy one for as little as $13. And you can buy dozens and dozens more for under $35.

How does that supply compare to demand at other big league parks?

‘It’s a pretty healthy amount,’ according to StubHub spokesman Sean Pate. At 2:30 p.m., for example, there also were nearly 900 tickets available to Thursday night’s Sox/Rays game at Fenway. But Pate said that only about 300 likely would be available just hours before the first pitch is thrown.

Here’s a bit more data from Stubhub:

The average ticket resale price for the four potential games at Tampa’s Tropicana Field is $169. For the three games at Boston’s Fenway Park, the average is $257. The four potential games at Philadelphias’s Citizen’s Bank Park is $228. And the average for the three games at Chavez Ravine is $110.

The average price for resold Dodgers tickets on StubHub: $132 for the Sunday, Oct. 12 game; $102 for the Monday, Oct. 13 game and $89 for tonight’s game.
