Red Sox Tickets 55.5% Above Average For Series Vs Yankees
Stephen Drew will dress in pinstripes against his former team for the first time this weekend when the Red Sox host the Yankees for three games at Fenway Park. While the Red Sox acquired slugger Yoenis Cespedes from the Athletics for ace Jon Lester and Jonny Gomes earlier this week, their motives are set for future success next season as they currently sit 11 games behind the Angels for the American League Wild Card. Despite the Yankees and Red Sox poor play, however, prices have risen on the secondary market for their penultimate regular season series as beloved Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter plays his final games in Boston. The Red Sox schedule will welcome the Yankees once more at Fenway in September and that series will serve as the highest-priced secondary tickets of the season for the Red Sox as Derek Jeter makes his final visit to Boston.
The season average for Red Sox tickets is $119.70 on the secondary market but each game will have an average price above that number. The series as a whole is 55.5% above the season average.
