Dodger Stadium ticket prices are soaring following Clayton Kershaw's stunning retirement announcement Thursday.

As of this writing — about seven hours before first pitch of the Dodgers' 7:10 p.m. home game against the San Francisco Giants — only standing-room tickets in the outfield pavilion remain available via the Dodgers' website for Kershaw's final regular season home start.

Meanwhile, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported Friday (via TickPick) that tickets to Saturday's game at Dodger Stadium have seen a 61 percent increase in ticket prices in less than 24 hours since Kershaw's announcement.

The Dodgers are giving away a bobblehead commemorating Kershaw's 3,000th career strikeout earlier this year prior to Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants.

According to Nightengale, the "get-in price" for Saturday's game between the Dodgers and San Francisco Giants is $258 — a 303 percent increase since the beginning of the season.
