Some Red Sox tickets to rise up to $5 next season

Nov 16, 2009 - 9:33 PM BOSTON(AP) -- The Red Sox will raise some ticket prices as much as $5 next season after freezing all sections for 2009.

Field level seats will cost $130 for individual games and $125 as part of season tickets bought by Dec. 16, the team said Monday. Green Monster seats will rise to $165 and $160.

While they are among four areas with $5 increases along with loge box and Green Monster standing room, 12 areas will remain the same and four will have $2 hikes.

Red Sox president Larry Lucchino said the increases were some of the team's lowest average percentage rises in 15 seasons. Sixty-three percent of the tickets will be $52 or less.

Ticket prices will be frozen again for spring training games at City of Palms Park in Fort Myers, Fla.
