How to Buy Red Sox Spring Training Tickets
Major League Baseball and its teams have made it very easy for fans to buy spring training tickets in advance, although you can always buy tickets the day of a spring training game at the stadium (or call a broker). The system for buying spring training tickets is much like the system in place for buying single game tickets during the regular season. This is standard for all of MLB. Here's how you do it.

Contact a ticket broker. StubHub would be an example of an online ticket broker as they re-sell hard-to-get tickets, like a ticket broker does. Of course, the ticket price will be more expensive if you choose to use a broker. There are other online ticket brokers as well, but MLB has named StubHub as its official online reseller.

Tips & Warnings
Spring training information -- including dates of games and ticket prices -- aren't available until the late fall, once the baseball season ends with a new World Series champion being crowned. Most teams remove this information at the start of a season and update the information once the offseason begins, but the ticket buying process is the same as if you were buying regular season tickets. Check the Red Sox web site (or any other team's website) frequently for any updates. The best place to buy spring training tickets, unless you're using a broker, is through MLB's authorized team websites.
