Boston Red Sox spring training tickets on sale

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Hundreds of baseball fans gathered outside Jet Blue Park Saturday to buy Boston Red Sox spring training tickets after they went on sale.

Dedicated baseball fans like Vic Ingram waited in line for hours for the best tickets and said leaving with those tickets makes the waiting worthwhile.

“It is so cool,” he said. “I take my phone out, I throw it on Facebook — I tell everyone at home ‘Haha, I’m here and you’re not.'”

Tickets can also be bought on the park’s website.

The Red Sox first spring training game at Jet Blue Park is Feb. 23. Tickets are half off for that game.
