Red Sox ticket prices go up again

Oh man. I love going to Fenway Park, but this is getting ridiculous. It was already at the point that I had to wait to get cheap tickets through school or otherwise, but now I'm not sure if I'm even going to go at all. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />



Last year, I saw Derek Lowe's no hitter, and it was unbelievable. It was a discount game since they were playing Tampa Bay, so I was able to get good seats for decent prices.



I also went to a Yankees - Red Sox game where I paid a little more, but it was worth it to just be there.



But now I'm looking at going once a year, maybe. With food/drink prices being so high too, it's almost the cost of a small vacation to take a few other people to the ball game.



I know Fenway Park is the worst in terms of prices. Being a small stadium that covers a huge market doesn't help.

    Looks like it'll be the bleachers for me. That's okay. I like it out there.

    I really hope the Mets don't raise prices at Shea. I love being able to get Outer Field Box seats for only $33.

    Well someone has to pay your DH's $20 million dollar salary.

    The trick is to get in good with local construction companies lawyers (if you can stand them) and others that have box seats. Then you get them for free. It's not easy unless you're in the right line of work.

    Single game ticket prices for the most expensive seats at Pac Bell Park are $60 on weekends, $55 on weekdays...for any of the best field level seats between 1st base, homeplate and 3rd base. Of course these are charter seats and almost impossible to get...



    Lower box season tickets are $28 per game...



    I think they need to build Fenway II...the tickets are expensive because Fenway can only seat 33,000 people.

    Last I heard, things are stalled. The latest plan called for Fenway to be rebuilt right where it is. I like that idea but it'll be awfully expensive. There's also a proposal to put seating on top of the Green Monster - another good idea.
