Money Saving Tips
Well, sorry to break it to you, but you missed opening day. However, you haven't missed much. Time to make those plans, dip into your sick days and get out to the ball park.
I did the leg work for you and here you have a comprehensive list of special saving offers for all thrity major league baseball team's spectator tickets this season. Except for the Red Sox, they all have special deals for families, and students and more.
It pains me that the Sox don't have much in the way of discounts, but with the smallest stadium, and the most loyal fans, they really don't have to work too hard to fill the seats. If you want to save money and you're a Boston fan, it might be cheaper to take the road trip to Pawtucket and see their farm team play. Paw Sox seats start at $7 and only go as high as $11.

Well, that's about it for current money saving deals at all thirty major league ball parks. Of course, things can change on a month-to-month basis. If attendance is down or the team is doing lousy, prices can go down. If the Cubs suddenly end up in first place, believe me their prices will go up. So let's "Play Ball!"
If you find any killer deals, post them below in the comments.
