Red Sox’ Sellout Streak In Jeopardy After Dreadful August

Could Red Sox' SelloutStreak Come To An End? While the Red Sox have sold out every home game since May 15, 2003, “there is no guarantee that the streak will continue through the rest of the season,” amid the team’s “recent free-fall in the pennant race,” according to MacQuarrie & Ryan of the BOSTON GLOBE in a front-page piece. Red Sox VP/Ticketing Ron Bumgarner noted the team holds 300 tickets per game for walk-ups and said, “The true test will be this upcoming homestand.” The Red Sox play ten straight home games starting tonight against the Blue Jays, White Sox and Royals. But Red Sox Exec VP/Public Affairs Charles Steinberg said that he “expected the sellout streak — the second-longest in major-league history — to continue.” MacQuarrie & Ryan note “just a few weeks ago, it was nearly impossible to get” a ticket to a Red Sox home game, but now tickets “are not only available, they can be had for face value or less.” Ticket holder Liz Brownell is selling $45 grandstand seats for Sunday’s Blue Jays game at face value; “similar seats fetched $150 each” when the Red Sox were in first place in the AL East earlier this season. MacQuarrie & Ryan note “even ticket agencies ... are offering their best prices in years.” Fenway Park has the smallest capacity in MLB (BOSTON GLOBE, 8/31).
