The Red Sox announced this morning that it is holding prices at 2008 levels for all existing seats and standing room tickets available to the public at Fenway Park for the 2009 season.
It is the first time in 14 seasons the club has not raised at least some ticket prices.
“We have been listening to fans, friends, and family about the challenges they are facing in light of the current adverse economic conditions,” said Red Sox president and CEO Larry Lucchino in a press release. “We are also grateful for the unwavering faith and support our fans have shown us year after year and we hope our ownership’s decision to hold prices for the upcoming season will in some way help ease the burden on Red Sox Nation.”
The last time the Red Sox held ticket prices across the board was 1995 -- the season following the damaging strike that led to the cancellation of the '94 World Series.
