Hot seats.

After the team's first division title since 1995, Dodgers fans are rewarding the franchise with the best advanced ticket sales figures since 1983.

Before the first pitch of the team's home opener on Tuesday, the Dodgers will have sold at least 2.3 million seats for their 81-game home schedule. Season ticket sales have already surpassed the 22,000 mark, up from about 18,500 this time last year.

"Things are going very well," said Josh Rawitch, a team spokesman.

At least 75 percent of the 900 Dugout Club seats, which cost up to $30,000 for a season ticket, and 1,600 newly installed luxury seats along the baselines have been sold.

The Dodgers spent $20 million during the off-season to add the field-level seats and 300 Dugout Club seats, in hopes of generating $10 million to $13 million in additional revenues each season.

Last week, the Guinness World Records Book recognized the Dodgers as having the highest cumulative attendance in Major League History. The team has played before 165.8 million fans since 1901, when Major League Baseball began tracking those figures.

Last season the Dodgers drew nearly 3.5 million fans, their highest single-season total since 1983. Team owner Jamie McCourt has set a new goal of drawing 4 million fans annually.
