You can't just walk up before the game and get in. They do sell a handful day-of-game tickets, but you've got to get there very early.<BR/><BR/>Not to mention the prices are horrendous."<BR/><BR/>You can always get tickets to any park, pretty cheap. The first step is realizing that's the truth as opposed to "you can't get tickets." I get to like 15 games at Fenway a year (while living 3-4 hours away until this year) and I don't pay more than 25 or 30 bucks each time. Sometimes I pay 12 for upper bleachers, then stand at the back of the grandstand near home or the bases, a great, close view. Or sit in the box seats and hope the person doesn't show.<BR/><BR/>And speaking of myth debunking, all those Yankee stadium attendances don't take into account the fact that many of their tickets are discounted, sometimes more than 50%, while Fenway doesn't do any discounting any more.<BR/><BR/>"Very proud looking guy.
