5 Ways to Find Boston Red Sox Tickets

Fenway Park, the oldest ballpark in baseball and the home to the defending champion Boston Red Sox. Unfortunately, Fenway Park is also home to the scarcest ticket in the game, as the Red Sox have sold out 388 consecutive home games. Given the popularity of the team, and the fact that Fenway Park has one of the smallest seating capacities in baseball, at 38,805, it is likely that the Red Sox will continue to put people in the seats and challenge the Indians record of 455.

Needless to say, if you're like me, you probably sat patiently, either in the virtual waiting room online or outside the ticket windows at Fenway Park. And like me, you more than likely also got shut out while countless brokers made off with the mass majority of the available tickets, otherwise, you wouldn't be reading this looking for ways to still find tickets. That being said, what options are left to us to secure tickets, aside from skulking up to a reputable scalper?

StubHub.com
There was a time and a place when Major League Baseball shunned ticket reseller sites, labeling them as nothing more than a scalper's paradise. However, MLB seems to have taken to them, or at least taken their money under the guise of partnership, and has made StubHub "The Official Fan To Fan Ticket Marketplace of MLB". The beauty of buying from StubHub, is that they pay the shipping and unlike auction sites, you are paying a set price. As a reselling site, you will be paying more than face value, but if you play your cards right, you can easily still get a good value. For instance, try to wait as long as possible to buy the tickets you desire, as the sellers often have put a setting on the tickets that triggers the price to drop after a certain date. Unfortunately, by doing this, you also run the risk of someone else buying the seats you want. The best option is to find a midweek game, against a team that isn't typically a high draw, and lock them up when you can. For instance, if you want to see the Kansas City Royals on Thursday, May 22nd, you can get tickets for $42.00 and up. Whereas, if you try to find a game against a more highly touted opponent and on a weekend, you'll pay much more.
