Not anymore....since the Sox got rid of what I thought was a great idea, and something i used the rare times i had to buy a ticket, in Replay...but since they
decided to sell their collective ticket selling soul to the devilish Ace tickets there is no control what so ever and now only the wealthy can go to games
unless you are lucky enough to win lotterys, an actual lottery so you have money, or got a pax at the start of the season. This is definately a sign of the
times and is really the only drawback to having a winning ball club who has now won two championships within the last four years...added to the fact that
Fenway is so small there is a shortage of tickets. There are two solutions to the problem...have the Sox go a few seasons where they dont' win ball games,
I don't think any of us would want that to happen. Or is it finally time for a new park, I mean a nice 50,000 seat stadium would be great.

As someone who actually owns season tickets (to a hockey team) and looks to sell about half my tickets, I don't have a problem selling tickets to the
highest bidder. It's simple supply and demand and right now Fenway could have 80,000 seats and they would sell out most nights.

I have gone to an average 8 games a year for the last 5 years...this year no tickets at all. I will not pay scalper prices. So TV will be my option unless
I luck out and get a Remdawg game.

My problem is so manhy tickets are given to these agencies there aren't any for the average Joe to buy. I mean, how is it these companies get sooooo many
tickets? Shame on the Sox.

A lot of those tickets come from season ticket holders. Who can really go to all 81 games?

I actually won the raffle for a chance to buy some of the right field seats with the tables. I was excited until I realized the price. Needless to say, I
didn't buy them.
