Red Sox Tickets for Remaining Regular Season Games to go on Sale Saturday

As they have been doing for the past several years, the Red Sox are putting the remaining single game tickets on sale the Saturday between the NFL conference championship games and the Super Bowl. This Saturday the 24th at 10 a.m. tickets for about 45 games will go on sale. This includes all non-Yankee games in June, July and August, as well as games in April, May, and September that were not put on sale back in December. To purchase tickets, go to redsox.com Saturday morning at 10 a.m. and you will be put in the Virtual Waiting Room. You may be there all day and never get the opportunity to buy tickets. You can walk away from your browser and come back periodically to check it to see if you are in.

TIP:If you don't get in, you may want to try to get in about 2 or 3 in the morning on Sunday. By then most people have logged off and you have a better chance of getting in. However, most of the tickets will already be gone by then, especially all weekend games. But you may have a chance to pick up 2 or more tickets together for a game during the week.

The Red Sox are also using a phone ordering system this year run by tickets.com. The number is 1-888-327-0100. This replaces the old Red Sox-run 24-hour touch tone ticketing system, which always seemed to be hopelessly busy the first day tickets went on sale. TIP: try this new phone system simultaneously with the online system. Because it is being run by tickets.com, there may be more lines that can be opened and it may be easier to get into.

Read the entire press release from the Red Sox on their Web site.

Tickets for all Yankee games, Opening Day, and all seats for the Green Monster and the Right Field Roof Deck Restaurant will be made available through an online lottery in February or March. Check this blog periodically for information on the lottery.
