In 2013, Major League Baseball teams sold 70 percent of their ticket inventory. It was also the first time in 10 years that no team sold out their entire season. The closest team to selling out the season was the defending Worlds Series champion, San Francisco Giants, who played to 99.2 percent of their seating capacity.
