Kansas City Royals

Kansas City Royals Postseason History

The Kansas City Royals have been able to put together multiple eras of baseball where they have been able to compete for championships by making the postseason. Riding strong pitching when they have been in those situations, the Royals have been known for playing in series that are intense and captivating whether you are Royals fan or not.

Kansas City won its first World Series in 1985, and they did it largely with their pitching staff. In a tense, seven game series with their in-state rivals the St. Louis Cardinals, the Royals managed to limit the offense of the Cardinals in a big way. In the Royals’ four wins in the series, they held St. Louis to a combined total of three runs. One big reason for that was the pitching of Bret Saberhagen.

Saberhagen won the 1985 Cy Young award for his brilliant pitching that season, but he took his work to another level in the World Series. Saberhagen made two starts for the Royals in the series, and threw two complete games. In those 18 innings, he allowed just one earned run. In Game Seven, he threw a complete game shutout, as the Royals won in an 11-0 blowout of the Cardinals, with Saberhagen receiving series MVP honors.

Kansas City became champions again in 2015, when they defeated the New York Mets in a five game series. After falling to the Giants in the 2014 World Series in seven games, the Royals were resilient all season long, and were rewarded with their second championship. During the series, the Royals won multiple extra-inning games, including a 14 inning win in Game One that set the tone for the rest of the series by giving all momentum to the Royals.

In terms of rivalries, the rivalry between the Royals and the < href="/new-york-yankees-tickets/playoff-tickets">New York Yankees was incredibly entertaining during the late 1970s up to 1980. The teams met in the playoffs four times from 1976 to 1980, with the playoff format at the time moving the winner straight into the World Series. The Royals got the better of the Yankees in the form of a three game sweep in the 1980 American League Championship Series, putting a bow in the rivalry during that era.

What makes Kansas City Royals postseason games special for fans?

Buying Kansas City Royals postseason tickets isn’t just about attending another game—it’s about experiencing something bigger. Here’s what makes postseason special compared to the regular season, and why it’s worth securing tickets early:

• Higher stakes and intensity: Postseason Royals games are when every action counts. The pressure is on, the matchups more meaningful, and the atmosphere electric. If you want to see critical plays, clutch moments, and possibly history being made, this is where it happens.

• Scarcity and urgency: There are fewer postseason games, and demand shoots up fast. Premium seats fill up quickly. Buying tickets early means better choice in seating, avoiding inflated resale prices, and locking in your spot before the buzz drives them higher.

• Exclusive perks and priority: Ticket holders often get extras that regular-season attendees don’t always get: priority access to purchase playoff tickets (especially if you’re a season-ticket or membership holder), exclusive merchandise, special events, themed game nights, or upgraded amenities (parking, entrance, etc.).

• Memorable atmosphere and fan energy: The crowd is more invested, the media presence greater, and the tension more palpable. Postseason Royals games tend to be more electric—fans are louder, anticipation is higher, and the emotional payoff is bigger.

• Opportunity to witness defining moments: These are the Kansas City Royals fans talk about for years. Comebacks, championships, career highlights—postseason is when legacies are built. If you want to be there for those moments, this is your chance.

• Better value in some cases: Even though the tickets might cost more, when balanced against what you get (intensity, perks, memorable experience), many fans find postseason Royals tickets fetch greater value per dollar compared to regular season games, especially when you consider resale value or experiential payoff.
