BOSTON — The Red Sox are raising ticket prices for the 2017 season.

In a statement released by the team on Wednesday morning.

"The Red Sox today announced that ticket prices for the 2017 season at Fenway Park will rise by an average of 2.9 percent. The increase primarily affects seats closest to the field in select seating areas.  

Prices will rise between $1 and $5 in the following sections: Field Box, Loge Box, Pavilion Box, Pavilion Reserved, Grandstand, Outfield Grandstand (Rows 1-10), Right Field Box, Right Field Roof Box and Terrace, Bleachers, and Upper Bleachers.

Prices in other seating areas will remain unchanged, including the Budweiser Right Field Roof Deck, Grandstand (Sections 13-27 & 28-31, Rows 11-18), Outfield Grandstand (Rows 11-19), and all Standing Room.

In 2017 the first five rows of the Field Box, first ten rows of the Grandstand and Outfield Grandstand, first nineteen rows of Bleacher Sections 40-43, and Rows A-N in the Right Field Box will rise slightly more than rows further from the field in those sections.

“We appreciate the steadfast commitment of our loyal fans and hope to reward their dedication by fielding a winning team that plays deep into October each season.” said Red Sox President Sam Kennedy.  “Our desire to bring another World Series Championship to Boston is as strong as ever, and the contribution and dedication of our fans are what allow us to remain competitive each and every year.”   

The lowest priced ticket to a game at Fenway Park in 2017 is $10, and the Red Sox will continue to offer special reduced pricing for students, clergy, veterans, and active duty members of the military. Tickets for high school and college students will again be available for $9, and the Kid Nation Program, a free program for those 14 and under, will continue to include a Red Sox ticket at no charge in 2017."
