Boston Red Sox Tickets

The Boston Red Sox are a professional baseball team based in Boston, Massachusetts, and a member of Major League Baseball's American League Eastern Division. Founded in 1901 as one of the American League's eight charter franchises, the Red Sox's home ballpark has been Fenway Park since 1912. The "Red Sox" name was chosen by the team owner, John I. Taylor, around 1908, following previous Boston teams that had been known as the "Red Stockings". They played in eleven World Series, third most of any team remaining in one city, after the New York Yankees and the Saint Louis Cardinals. They won seven of these, also third most of any team remaining in one city, again after the New York Yankees and Saint Louis Cardinals.
Boston was a dominant team in the new league, defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first World Series in 1903 and winning four more championships by 1918. However, they then went into one of the longest championship droughts in baseball history, called by some the "Curse of the Bambino" after its alleged beginning with the Red Sox's sale of Babe Ruth to the rival Yankees two years after their world championship in 1918, an 86-year wait before the team's sixth World Championship in 2004. However, the team's history during that period was hardly one of futility, but was rather punctuated with some of the most memorable moments in World Series history, including Enos Slaughter's "mad dash" in 1946, the "Impossible Dream" of 1967, Carlton Fisk's home run in 1975, and Bill Buckner's error in 1986. Red Sox history has also been marked by the team's intense rivalry with the New York Yankees, arguably the fiercest and most historic in North American professional sports. Since 2003, the Red Sox have been perennial playoff contenders and have won two World Series, emerging as one of the most successful MLB teams of the last decade.
The Red Sox are consistently one of the top MLB teams in average road attendance, while the small capacity of Fenway Park prevents them from leading in overall attendance. Every home game since May 15, 2003 has been sold out - a MLB record that has spanned almost eight years.

The Boston Red Sox are set to begin yet another run for a World Series title. I am sure you have been buying Red Sox tickets for years, and I know that you have many choices when it comes to purchasing your Red Sox tickets. Here are a few important points to remember before buying tickets this year.
• Avoid street scalpers. With new barcode technology allowing sellers to electronically list hard tickets, there are more voided tickets on the street than ever before. Buy from somebody you know and trust.
• Be careful with tickets that are marked limited or obstructed view. Feel free to ask us about any particular seating location.
• Be wary of other sellers charging service fees. Between the buyer and the seller, Stubhub, for example, charges a total of 25% in service fees. Buy directly from the seller at sites such as crosstowntickets.com to save money. Remember Crosstown Tickets charges zero fees.
