t’s no secret that Fenway Park is winner and still champion of the record for most consecutive sellouts. But it is a secret that some 300 tickets are set aside for every Red Sox game and sold at face value beginning two and a half hours before the first pitch. Line up at the little-noticed Gate C ticket window on Lansdowne Street. Vitale
Shhhh! Most are bleacher seats.
Shhhh! Technically, fans are not allowed
to line up more than five hours before the game,
but the rule is seldom enforced. People camp out
all night for playoff or Yankees tickets.
