StubHub is probably the best indicator for market value of tickets to sporting events. Prices within the last hour have 9 teams with more expensive (cheapest) opening day tickets than the Angels, but Angels opening day prices are trending up. For those who can wait just one extra day, prices come crashing back down to earth. For game 2 of the season, tickets to the Angels can be had for about $11 apiece. The rest of MLB is no different.
Looking at the list, I'm just glad we don't have to wait until April 13th for our home opener!
