BOSTON -- Coming off another World Series championship and boasting a roster stacked with accomplished veterans and exciting young players, the Red Sox will again be a very hot ticket in 2008.
As part of the fifth annual Christmas at Fenway event on Dec. 8, select fans will have a chance to purchase Sox Pax and single-game tickets to 18 selected April and May games.
Because of the construction of the Year VII improvements at Fenway, the Sox won't be able to accommodate a large number of fans at the Park. Therefore, the bulk of single-game tickets will be available online at www.redsox.com beginning at 10 a.m. ET on Dec. 8. Fans can also order tickets through the touch-tone ticketing service at (617) 482-4SOX. Fans can also purchase Sox Pax at redsox.com.
For those fans who wish to buy tickets at Fenway Park on Dec. 8, it will come down to the luck of the draw. Attendees will be selected from a pool of fans who register at redsox.com between noon on Wednesday and noon on Dec. 3. Fans selected to attend the event will be notified via e-mail. All those who accept the invitation will be able to purchase tickets.
Some spots at the Fenway event will be reserved for citizens of Red Sox Nation, who will have their own drawing on redsox.com at the same allotted time as the other drawing. In addition, there will be special opportunities for members of Red Sox Kid Nation, which is presented by Hood. Those members will be notified directly with an invitation.
The Christmas at Fenway event will have select Red Sox players and alumni on hand to interact with fans. There will be roundtable discussions with club officials.
As for Sox Pax, each of them includes a ticket to four pre-selected games. Included are some beauties, including the April 8 Home Opener against the Tigers, in which the Red Sox are likely to collect their World Series rings. There will also be some Yankees games in Sox Pax, as well as Interleague games against the Cardinals, Diamondbacks and Brewers.
This is the fifth straight year the Red Sox have made single-season tickets available for select April and May games in advance of the holidays. The games that will be available are as follows: April 9-10 vs. the Tigers; April 18-20 vs. the Rangers; April 22-23 against the Angels; April 29-May 1 against the Blue Jays; May 2-4 vs. the Rays; and May 19-22 against the Royals.
Fans will be able to purchase up to eight single-game tickets. At the Christmas at Fenway event, fans can purchase up to two Sox Pax at a maximum of four tickets per package.
The rest of the single-game tickets -- including Green Monster Seats and Right Field roof seats -- will be made available in late January and February.
Season tickets are still capped at 21,500 full-season equivalents with a waiting list of nearly 7,500. Fans who want to join the waiting list can call (877) RED-SOX9.
