HOWEVER, there are still some home games before the lights turn off at Fenway for the remainder of 2024, and with those slim chances of playoff hopes - comes slimmed down ticket prices.

So, here's your reminder that if you haven't hit a game this summer and still want to, there is time, and it is affordable! Play ball!
