Alton is a one-team town built around the River Dragons (MILB), so the live-sports calendar here is shorter and the seats scarcer than in multi-team metros. With about dozens of home dates a year, the River Dragons tend to hold the city's softest weeknight inventory — that's where seats under $50 surface most often. This page filters live listings down to tickets under $50 and sorts them cheapest-first, so the best value sits at the top. Across the US, dynamic pricing means the same seat can swing day-to-day — watching MLB/NBA weeknight slates and non-marquee opponents tends to surface the cheapest tickets.

Alton is a single-sport market focused on MILB, with about a dozen home dates driving the city's live-sports calendar. That concentration means the River Dragons carry outsized demand for every game, but it also means the secondary market is deep and competitive among sellers.
