Red Sox have already raised ticket prices under new Semple ownership
Guess that’s what happens when you go from a non-profit to private ownership. Knew it would happen, but surprised at how quick since after the initial announcement they claimed prices wouldn’t go up.
General admission (bench seating): $15 -> $17.92
Premium admission (backed seating): $18 -> $20.99
So that’s increases of 19.5% and 16.6% respectively. I’m personally quite upset and pessimistic about this change and what it signals. I would not be at all surprised if Semple runs this into the ground by raising prices and making them unaffordable like he did with the Pats.
Edit to add: Old ticket prices were all in (assuming cause non-profit they didn’t have to deal with tax), and the new prices don’t include tax. So actual increase in what we pay is now
General admission: $15 -> $19.89
Premium admission: $18 -> $23.30
