Surprise: the laws of supply and demand continue to apply to Boston Red Sox tickets.
With Fenway Park limited to just 12 percent capacity in an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19, fans will likely have to fork over more money for the unique — if still somewhat risky — opportunity of seeing the Red Sox play in person this spring, an experience that was remarkably expensive even with the ballpark at full capacity.
The average ticket price for the team’s Opening Day game Thursday against the Baltimore Orioles was $283, the ticket aggregator TicketIQ said earlier this week, with the lowest available “get-in” price at $156.
