The Red Sox recently announced that they have reached an agreement with Aramark, the concessionaire for Fenway Park, to keep the price of food sold inside the park at the same levels as 2008. This is a nice gesture and a nod to the economic recession. It follows the announcement in December that the Red Sox would not raise ticket prices for this year. In truth, the Red Sox have only raised ticket prices slightly for most of the seats in the ballpark in the past several years anyway. Infield Grandstand, Outfield Grandstand, Bleacher and Right Field Box tickets are at most $5 more than they were 5 years ago. This should make Red Sox fans very happy that they are not Yankee or Met fans, given the astronomical price of tickets for their new stadiums.
In addition to keeping food prices inside the park the same as last year, the Red Sox announced that some items will be half-price for the first hour after the gates open during April. These items include Fenway Franks, pretzels, popcorn, and pizza slices. This is another very nice gesture that will save fans some money, and it would be even better if the team kept the policy for the entire year.
