The Best Ways to Buy Boston Red Sox Tickets

Fenway Park-it's the oldest major league baseball park in the United States (built in 1912), and it's also one of the smallest. When first built, the stadium was able to hold 35,000 fans but after minor expansions throughout the years, as of 2007, Fenway can now hold up to 38,805. Compare that to the largest MLB park currently in existence: Veterans Field in Philadelphia, PA which holds up to 62,400-a major difference.

Because of the team's ongoing success combined with the park's limited capacity, tickets to Sox games are a hot commodity. We've all heard the stories about season's tickets being passed down from generation to generation; in Boston, families don't inherit money and property, they inherit Sox tickets! So the big question here is...what's a non-season ticket holding Red Sox fan supposed to do?

There are several ways to get your hands on Sox tickets (some involve illegal exchange of money for tickets so we can't talk about that here) but if you've tried all the well known methods of ticket buying and still find yourself coming up short, here are some ideas as to how you might get yourself to a Sox game this season.
