The Boston Red Sox have released that they will be selling $9 standing room tickets to every home game for high school and college students for the 2014 season. In addition to this the team has scheduled 6 special nights to target college students during the first 2 months of the season. The first night is April 8th and is Toga Night. The Red Sox have 170 tickets available for the Cumberland Farms Terrace Deck. Students will win prizes for their togas, and other baseball related knowledge. The second night is April 20th, the night before Patriots day where there is a Student Scavenger Hunt scheduled.

April 29th is the Night of Champions where students will be in the Champions Club during pre-game to take pictures with the World Series Trophies, memorabilia, and attempt to earn ticket upgrades. There are 300 tickets for sale for this night, on a first come first serve basis. May 1st is Greek Night, where the Red Sox want you to come out in your fraternity and sorority gear with your fraternity brothers and sorority sisters. They will have similar pre-game festivities as champions night. College Media night is May 18th and is geared towards journalism and communication students. Here the students will be shown the day to day operations of the front office media personnel from the Red Sox, including a panel of guests that has not yet been announced.
