Yankees Sold Out, But Tickets Available for all 4 White Sox Games

As of 8 a.m. this morning there were no tickets available for the 3 games with the Yankees this weekend. The Red Sox Web site had no tickets, and neither did the 24-hour automated telephone ticket line at 888-REDSOX6 (888-733-7696). If you want to go to any of the Yankee games this weekend, that leaves these options: 1) Keep checking redsox.com and the 24-hour ticket line, as availability can change from hour to hour. 2) Call the ticket office and speak to a ticket agent at 877-REDSOX9 (877-733-7699). Call about once an hour, as the availability on game days can change very quickly. The ticket office is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., but it is only open Monday through Friday. 3) Go to the day-of-game ticket sales window near Gate E on Lansdowne Street. Unfortunately, this method requires you to line up at about 2 p.m. for a 7:05 game. 4) Go to the Scalp-Free Zone near Gate B and the Ted Williams statue on Van Ness Street. Go about an hour and a half before game time. There will be a Red Sox employee there hooking up sellers and buyers, and you have a good chance to get tickets for face value, but get there early.

The good news is that there are tickets available at redsox.com for all 4 White Sox games next week. A wide variety of tickets are available, with most in the $30 to $50 range, including infield and outfield grandstand, right field box, and the new right field roof seats.
