Red Sox Hold the Line

The Boston Red Sox said Wednesday they will not raise prices on any tickets for the 2009 season, including spring training games at Ft. Myers, Fla.

It's the first time in 14 years the Sox have held the line on prices across the board.

Said President/CEO Larry Lucchino in a statement: "We have been listening to fans, friends, and family about the challenges they are facing in light of the current adverse economic conditions. We are also grateful for the unwavering faith and support our fans have shown us year after year and we hope our ownership's decision to hold prices for the upcoming season will in some way help ease the burden on Red Sox Nation."
