After a season of keeping ticket prices flat during tough financial times, the Red Sox are boosting prices for
their most coveted seats by a few dollars in 2010.
Last year the Red Sox held prices steady for the first time in more than a decade. They remain
one of the most expensive Major League Baseball parks in the nation.
The most any Fenway Park tickets will increase is $5. Add that to the cost of Green Monster, Loge Box and Field Box seats. A Green Monster seat will now cost $165.
On the low end Upper Bleacher seats will remain the cheapest in the park, staying at $12. There will also be no increase for standing room tickets (with the exception of the Green Monster), the Right Field Roof Deck and the Outfield Grandstand.
Seats in other areas of the ballpark will cost you two more dollars than last season. Lower bleacher seats are now $28.
"After careful review and deliberation, we decided to implement a modest average increase, 3.8%, that represents the second lowest average percentage price increase over the past 15 seasons with the exception of last season when we implemented a price freeze across the board for all categories," said Red Sox President/CEO Larry Lucchino.
The first tickets go on sale December 12 at Fenway Park, during the annual Christmas at Fenway Celebration.
